    A “sandwich” made with “bread” that is more sugar than bread with mystery “tuna fish” that is totally 100% tuna.

      Yes, in Ireland the Subway “bread” cannot be classified as bread because of the amount of sugar in it.

      The subway sandwich “bread” enters the cake category.

        Unfortunately from a topological standpoint, this is still classified as a sandwich according to the Cube Rule of Food.

        in sweden they just use actual bread lol, and like half of the options are whole grain or have seeds on them so it’s actually almost healthy.

            presumably, i’ve had it and the bread is not really different from regular bread you’d buy from a bakery.

            the sugar comes from the dressing

      100 years after sliced bread was invented; bread that doesn’t stale and doesn’t mold for 2 weeks on a counter-top, and still Europe is baffled.

      There are reasons to add sugar to bread, quite a lot actually. It causes faster fermentation, increases the Maillard reaction, can make the bread softer, prevents going stale, etc.

      I’m not defending subway in particular: they are terrible. But it’s not because they add sugar to their bread dough. And Europe pretending this isn’t bread is food elitism that ignores that massive differences in production and culture.

      that is more sugar than bread

      Also very hyperbolic. Subway has 4% sugar, which is high but not cake. Cake recipes are often 25-50% sugar.

        To be fair, that 4% is double the max limit to be called bread in Ireland, potentially more if it’s 4% of the whole recipe as opposed to 4% of the flour weight.
