the veggie delight.

so, i'm a big fan of the veggie delight sandwich at subway (if i'm eating subway, that is).

it is quite tasty and consists of- you guessed it- veggies.

as a non-meat-cold cut eater (with occasional consumption of turkey), the veggie delight is obviously my best Subway bet.

so, each time i hit up the Subway, I go right on up there and say,

"I'll have a small, with the hearty italian roll."
and Subway employee responds, "what kind of sandwich would you like?"
and I say, "veggie delight."
and he/she says, "cheese?"
and I say, "no, thanks." ...

and they, inevitably, look at me like i'm crazy...EVERY time.

never fails.

as if cheese is necessary for the veggie sandwich. or as if cheese makes the veggie sandwich a "normal" sandwich.
a recap...
"cheese?"
"no."
CRAZY LOOK...not kidding you...then..

"okay, what would you like on it?"
"everything but pickles and hot peppers."
"dressing?"
"oil and vinegar, salt and pepper."
"you must like some chips with this?!"

and sometimes, yes, i would like some chips with that...but other times, i just feel i MUST concede, else who knows what would happen...so...

"yes, sure, chips, yeah."
"and soda?"
"umm, sure, yes, diet. thanks."

and then i proceed to run away, because i've now been deemed a freak for ordering a cheeseless veggie sandwich at the Subway.

is a cheeseless veggie sandwich not good enough? an unusual request, perhaps? (but it's ON the menu!)

i'm not sure which part of it scares them...but i tell you, you want a laugh, or a funny look...try it out...veggie delight...no, no cheese, thanks.
