Big assumption I'm going to regularly pay someone else to put fillings inside of bread for me.

If I'm paying for food out, it's gonna be something I can't or really don't want to make myself. Not a fucking sandwich.

I get whatcha saying, but there was this place I used to go that would make this awesome Torta Oaxaqueña (various Mexican food in a hamburger-like bun) that I don't think I coulda ever made myself.

That's fair. My mind just went to Subway as the extreme example

Most people aren't thinking of subs when they say "sandwich".

Well, that definitely explains why some people do think of subs when they say "sandwich"!

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

aw yeah true, I miss the Subway of the 90s, the food was noticeably better and worth the money. Over the past 20 years they just kept taking shortcut after shortcut and now it takes like stuff you could take out of the freezer yourself.

Yeah, sandwiches at a decent Mexican restaurant are a whole nother level. Cemitas and tortas have basically ruined all other sandwiches for me at this point.

When you work every day, it is easier to just order a sandwich.

I refuse to make those every day

When it was more affordable, some of those paid sandwiches were pretty good. I'd rarely get as intricate with the ingredients when making a sandwich at home, I'd especially skip the salad almost always because it's way too wasteful to buy a head of salad for one person.
