I’ve been writing this post for days….

Food review from Friday: Subway’s Veggie Max sub.
What it is: A veggie patty with vegetables.
Options: The usual slice of cheese, array of breads and vegetables, the usual selection of sauces, toasted or not toasted.
I chose toasted on Parmesan oregano bread with cheese, with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, green peppers, carrots and cucumbers and chipotle mayo.
The verdict: The veggies and bread were fresh The option to toast is to toast the bread with the cheese. THe patty alternated between quite good – especially when I got a hit of sauce with it – and having a chemically taste. Overall the sub was just okay. I’d like to try it with a warm patty. In fact, I’d suggest that this should be a hot sub.

Coming soon: My review of the falafel at agenda cafe. It’s the best falafel in downtown Toronto – made by Israeli men who know falafel. The restaurant’s breakfast menu includes Shakshouka (Wikipedia, about.com), which I will try at some point. Maybe this Sunday.
