Taking the michael...

Unless they are still offering their 8 AM specials. .

The bread is fresh then, though the age of the meat might be questionable.

But the downfall of any country is signaled with the arrival of a Subway. The most disgusting, slimy and sweaty meals in the fast food world.

LOL, absolutely agree. I really don't understand why Argentines would go there when bread from anywhere else tastes much better, and deli meats are certainly better quality from anywhere else....

Ok so Ive already mentioned that my kids eat at McDonalds as the very last resort but pre cinema we decided to go here in Bsas last week. The "Caja Feliz" should be called "Caja Mouuyyyyy Deprimida" since it comes as a plain red box (no drawings/quizzes) a teeny weeny chip offering of 10 chips max., 4 nuggets or burger, drink and a toy. Total 35 pesos...

Spain, same offering is full adult portion of chips, burger or 5 nuggets with a drink (choice of milk and water as well as fizzy) AND dessert ie ice-cream or fruit, toy. Total 5 euros. It's official. Bsas is more expensive..the group of 8 year olds asked for seconds and so lunch there cost 70 pesos each..

I know..comida chatarra is crap...and in Bsas expensive crap. Wondering what Subway are doingg back on the Bsas scene for what seems like the 3rd time in 10 years trying to flog their ware at ludicrous prices..

Try Nac and Pop, the local competitor. Probably half the price. I tried it once when suddenly needing food fast, and it tasted pretty good.

Yup. I am a bit of a cold cut snob back in NYC.

Have you found any good places here in BsAs for Deli Meats (Turkey, Chicken, Roast Beef)?

I know my old Coto on Thames and Niceto Vega was ridiculously expensive and t I had to specially request them to cut chicken because they only had pork based cuts.

the only competitive price at macdonald´s is the Big Mac and its held artificially low by request of the government

I hope you remember this...from the thread Move to Buenos Aires?

I love the idea that you are a sweet mommy and let your offspring get a bad deal/meal at McDonald's in Argentina 'cause that's what they want, but otherwise you don't seem to be a very nice woman or a good speller.

(It's Mr. HYde.)

If calling you out for what you are - an intelligent and helpful person with an alterego that is a mean bully with erratic mood swings - makes me a not very nice person then feel free to continue to think so. I work hard on my life account to ensure my credits via good deeds and kindness to others outweigh my liabilities. In your case my liability (name calling) has already been cancelled by at least 5 good deeds.
And yes I am bloody awful typist...

Mmmm really? A few of the guys at work went just today and got the meatball subs to go and I have to say they looked pretty darn tasty. I was staring at my broccoli and chicken tarta and feeling a bit jealous...thinking I might just have to give one of those subs a try. And someone said anywhere else the bread is better? Where else are you going to get a sandwich for that price with the parmesan oregano whatever-it-is crusted bread? I've been once here and have to say I enjoyed my sandwich. I digress.

I'd also be interested in this question...where to find deli meats. I'd love a nice turkey sandwich without having to actually buy and cook an entire turkey.

i quite like subway too. their parmesan oregano one is pretty crap here though very little parmesan on top.

Avena dulce all the way for me.

I always avoid fast food stateside so coming to BsAs is no different.

But I do notice how packed McDonalds and Burger King do get around here.

I can't comment on any quality differences as I have not eaten their food in some time.

Nope not by a long shot. Subway has cleaned up their act allot and offers some pretty OK sandwichs. And you can manage the build to increase your chance of for an enjoyable bite. You can't do that in many places.
