Beap52 1,675 #7 Posted September 15 60 years ago-maybe more-when we made the rare trip to K-Mart in St. Joseph, Missouri all the way from our farm, I'd spend my own meager funds to buy a subway sandwich. Probably wasn't very good quality and likely cheap but I it was something I always looked forward to. Good memories. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 62,343 #8 Posted September 15 My all time GO-TO is a Muffaletta, The olive spread and selection of savory meats is outstanding and the lunch place we went to yesterday makes them so large I can only eat half in one sitting. The flavors tend to infuse themselves into the bread over night so today's lunch will be even better. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that a sandwich shop name? Or a type of sandwich? Never heard of it before. EDIT: googled it. Other than the cheese it sounds great! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
