New Subway sandwich menu items taste just as vile as the old ones

The Subway sandwich chain’s new menu items, which were rolled out in a blaze of publicity on Tuesday, belong in the real subway — the deeper underground, the better.

The “largest menu update” in the history of the world’s largest fast-food company (37,500 outlets) lays a big, fat, sometimes smelly egg. The sandwiches are what you grudgingly put up with in an airport snack bar after a 14-hour flight. Strangely, the more elements they contain — from pickles to mustard to onions to olives — the less they taste of anything.
