Default Meatball Marinara

I think Subway's Meatball Marinara (fully loaded) is the best sub on
their menu.

You just *couldn't* make a sub that nice at home.

A foot long gets too messy to eat though.

Anyone agree?

I do think I could make one better, at least the bread would be better.

I'd roll it all up in a low carb tortilla.

Yeah I agree, it tastes really good but you definately need to sit at a
table to eat it.

A meatball sub is one of the easiest sandwiches to make.

I don't care for their brown & serve wonderbread rolls. I make a much
better sub at home by picking up some good rolls at the Italian bakery,
splitting some homemade meatballs and spooning on some sauce.

Evidently there is now.

Presumably it's meatballs in a marinara sauce - what's oxymoronic
about that?

Sure. Why not? Stewball was a racehorse (and I wish he were mine...).

Agree, and I forgot to mention that a thawed out foodservice meatball is
not even close in taste to a real meatball that has been nicely browned.

That's the only reason I still goto Subway, for all other sandwiches,
it's Quiznos.

Soon as meat is added to the dish it's no longer marinara... by your
logic (illogic) adding tube steak to vegetarian beans the dish is
still vegetarian.

Perhaps if Subway's meatballs are anything like their other so-called
meat products... they should call it Mystery Marinara.

Incorrect. Marinara sauce is a type of tomato sauce. Often added to
dishes with meat, with seafood, etc.

When marinara sauce is added to meatballs, as is common, it is not
correct to say the ingredient is not marinara, only that the
combination is "meatballs with marinara sauce." Which is what the
Subway product is.

Cf.

http://www.annamariavolpi.com/marinara.html

"Marinara sauce is a basic meatless tomato sauce, probably considered
the precursor of all ragu¹ and tomato sauces of Italy. In spite of the
name (the word ³marinara² refers to seafood), the sauce has no fish in
it."

Marinara refers to the sailors who ate it.

Subway's bread stinks. You can smell it when you walk past one. If
Petronis can't make better meatballs or buy better bread to put them
on, I pity him. Wait, no I don't. Pity him, I mean.

Obviously not.

Marinara sauce is frequently served with meat, regardless of where and
how it orginally came to be named.

It's like "hunter's stew"--anyone can make it, anyone can eat it,
without oxymoronic implications.

I agree it is excellent, one of my favorites. Like you, I like my
subs fully loaded (minus mayo but with all the veggies)
I also like the italian coldcut, and the Turkey.
Usually they cut the footlongs in half. I can't eat one alone unless
I'm really hungry but they have a 2 footlongs for $10 special so I
sometimes bring a couple home for dinner.

What's a better fast food place for freshness, taste, and price? If
you come up with a better one I'll go there.

The deli section at your local Publix. Vastly superior sandwich for the
same money. (feh, if it costs a buck more, it's worth it)

*Cross-posting snipped*

On the rare days when I eat something for lunch that somebody else has
prepared, I usually go for a local Subway's six-inch "Cold cut combo" on
"Italian herb and cheese" bread, with "The works". (By now, I'm sure
they're tired of hearing me ask if they have horseradish sauce, but I
keep hoping) It makes a decent lunch for less than $3, and I get a
little fresh air and exercise walking almost a mile and a half
round-trip to get it.

Bluto, I agree with you about the sandwiches at Publix. Before I go to
the beach, I stop at Publix and order an Italian sandwich with the
dressing on the side. They are delish, but then anything you eat at the
beach tastes good. LOL

Kroger's also makes good sandwiches, but they are different than the
sandwiches at Publix.

Pretty much all of them, with the exception of Checkers/Rally's,
Arby's and...and. Heck I can't even think of any others that are
worse. What city are you in?
If you have a Panera Bread, they are way better: http://www.panerabread.com
Steak'n Shake is also great, with a few caveats. Here in St. Louis,
we have a chain called Lion's Choice. They are excellent.
Every other sub place is better than Subway.

The best fast food places are typically the mom & pop places. You may
have to ask around. In my area there are a bunch that run rings around
the chain places. Like the one across the street from my office for
example. They use buns from a local Italian bakery that are delivered
each morning (in paper not plastic). They use quality cold cuts and
prepare items like their own porketta, they make real meatballs for
meatball subs and make real soup (not a block of frozen space soup they
they plop into a pot and warm up.

Publix isn't in CA, but Safeway's deli sandwiches are about $5. Not
bad, but they don't load them up with veggies like Subway does.

Besides, being in downtown SF during the day there aren't any grocery
stores within walking distance.
