sandwiches that you will not like

Sandwiches that you will like is a very good PBS special about sandwiches. I highly recommend it. they will never visit Vons

i just had the most retarded sandwich. (yes, i'm name calling during no name calling week)

2 weeks ago i saw someone at work eating what looked like a very good panini sandwich, pressed in one of those fancy grill things. he said it was good, and while i don't usually trust food recommendations from people who regularly eat off the lunch truck, it looked good. it was from Vons. So i got one today. I ordered the ham, swiss and cheddar sandwich and was very excited. since i bought groceries, lunch and i got cash back from the register, saving myself time and energy. i was feeling very efficient. too bad i was soon very disappointed.

i bit into my sandwich very excited, and was at once underwhelmed by my mediocre sandwich. after spending however long it took in the sandwich machine, the bread was barely toasty, and the cheese was only half melted. after a few bites i realized i did not have the cheddar, swiss and ham sandwich that i ordered. i had a cheddar, roast beef and ham sandwich, and a mediocre one at that. there was too much cheddar, bland half melted cheddar, the worst kind--well, not as bad as bland, completely unmelted cheddar i guess. i bet it was bad enough to make those happy california dairy cows unhappy. the sandwich was big though. and i have half left for lunch tomorrow, where i will utilize the toaster oven to its fullest extent

Vons does not make a good sandwich. their regular deli sandwiches all sound good, but the bread is too hard, and there's too much of it. So I stopped eating those. I haven't tried a focaccia sandwich yet, but i'm sure that will be mediocre too.

They have such good deli soup, it's a shame about the sandwiches.

    I have had a good experience at a Safeway deli, I feel I should say. It wasn't a panini. It was regular-style, like Subway, Togo's, etc. Good price, good size, good sandwich. Not great, certainly, but far better than expected. Now if somebody would hit Albertson's we could settle this.

    You have to respect no-name-calling week or it won't work its magic. People like you are why No TV Week never took. We were this close to never watching TV any more.
