Sandwich for breakfast
I saw a guy on the commuter train eating a Subway sandwich for breakfast. Many questions leapt into my head.
Amazingly, one of them wasn't "why is he eating a sandwich for breakfast?" At least the person is eating breakfast, and eating a sandwich has essential nutrition.
1) Does Subway serve lunch sandwiches for breakfast?
2) If not, did this guy buy a sandwich the previous night, refrigerate it, and bring it with him?
3) He is not supposed to be eating on the train, is he?
I couldn't ask him because his mouth was full. Besides, we want to encourage breakfast eating here at Balance of Food, and I didn't want to scare him off of the idea. (Though I'm not a huge fan of Subway. The bread tastes so sweet, the lettuce is pathetic, and the ability to get tomato slices in the color red has been rare.)
Still, a Subway sandwich breakfast is still a breakfast. At least it was only a 6-inch sandwich.
