The article does not say WHY this is but my guess is we (Americans) are so doggone BUSY who the heck has time to cook. Don't know about you but in my job if I did not put in 12 hours, it was a light day. Anyway, on my way home tonight I grabbed Subway because my Wife works too and no one wants to cook after 8 PM when we both get home. While I was eating my roast beef sub I saw this.

Our city councils nation wide need to look into this.it can't be good for us.

I love to cook but sometimes a hunk of meat and/or cheese between a couple of pieces of good bread (or roll) can't be beat.

It's no mystery why sandwiches are number one...

They're good!

Cooking is becoming a lost art. The current generation of young people are satisfied with a microwave oven and George Foreman grill for their kitchen.

Lord Sandwich is turning over in his grave!

This will be banned once the muslims take over.

Seriously? I love to cook. Love it. But I would be lying through my teeth if I didn't say that I would kill for a sandwich with turkey, provolone, tomatoes, onions and mayo. That's not being lazy, it's loving something that tastes good.

Dude, there is nothing as American as a club samwich served by a semi-naked waitress person!

To maintain their dominance, sandwiches will continue to evolve.

Great. Now the sandwich intelligent design crowd will show up stating that it is impossible for a sandwich to evolve from a random set of ingredients in a primordial kitchen. :-)

And who wants to stay in the kitchen until 10-11PM?

I'll take a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with some avocado slices and bean sprouts.

Just kidding, but for some reason, I really like a sandwich such as the one I described.

Sandwiches--such as a basic peanut butter and jelly between two slices of Wonder Bread--were the single biggest item eaten in 1996 by Americans, both at home and on the road.


Well duh. Ever eat a soup and salad going 70 miles per hour?

I grabbed Subway

What, you have no Quiznos where you live? My kids like Subway. I think it's the most flavorless food imaginable. Your choices to top incredibly bland meat, cheese, and bread consist of oil or mayonnaise. Not even Miracle Whip, but mayo. And what could have more robust flavor than vegetable oil? No mustard, no barbeque sauce, no horseradish. What the hell is wrong with people that prompts them to eat there?

Hey, HG - shall we talk about sandwiches in the FReeper Kitchen?

[Mears]

A good Reuben sandwich is like dying and going to heaven IMHO.

You are right. I own a bakery and I do not want to cook anything when get home at 10:00. After baking I usually just don't eat anything, but if I do it is a sandwich.
