Subway

When was the last time you ate at Subway? Do you remember the smell of the bread as you opened the door or the look of all the fresh crisp vegetables. Can you taste the sauces on your toasted bread. Oh man just writing this post is making me hungry.

Freiburg is not known for its great Subway. In fact I don’t think it is even mentioned in any dinning guide for the city. However for me Subway is one of those places I will always return to. The reason being is that Subway in Germany is a million times better than here in the US. It’s pretty much the same. There aren’t any differences on the menu items. The only difference is the ‘Fresh’ cheese.  Yummmm.

Fresh cheese or Frischkäse is like cream cheese but better. You put that on your sub and man it changes everything. The bread taste better, the vegetables are amazing, and you don’t need to add any sauce just some salt and pepper and walla. You have the perfect sandwich that will engage every taste-bud you have.

During my first week in Freiburg this is where my trainer Sister Christopher took me – Subway. It was so good and I do believe I ordered everything in Germany which wasn’t hard because I just pointed and said ‘das, und das’. (translated meaning that, and that, and some of that) I loved it, it was so good……..I know a few of you may be thinking ‘this is crazy, it can’t actually be that great’. I dare you to try it, but I warn you – you will never like the ‘American’ Subway afterwards.

Ok food is good but when you are eating with friends the meal becomes so much more than just another meal it becomes an experience. One of the greatest things I loved about Sister Christopher was that we didn’t need to be talking all the time. We just enjoyed being in each other’s company. That first day in Subway was one of those moments. We sat and ate our lunch in complete silence. Yet I felt like we got to know each other the best in those few quite minutes.

So if you still don’t understand how totally obsessed I am with the German Subway in Freiburg, if you ever come out to visit me ask to see my Subway items. I still have my first straw, the placemat, and a napkin from that day.
