Regardless of whether or not this is true, Subway is hands down the worst and most disgusting fast food available in the US.
Why not post the original NYT article? They did the legwork.
The Big Tuna Sandwich Mystery (Published 2021)
A lawsuit against America’s largest sandwich chain has raised questions about America’s most popular canned fish. We tried to answer one: Is Subway selling tuna?www.nytimes.com
Also, there are caveats here guys.
So a big ol nothing burger of a news then.
This is what happens in the era of "Must be informed of everything happening anywhere and anything anyone says at all times!".
The sad part about all this is that I'd actually be thrilled if it wasn't tuna, because I wouldn't have to worry about mercury poisoning. Heck I'd probably end up eating one of those monstrosities daily during their BOGO events if mercury wasn't an issue.
You just how to know how to game the system. Subway has had BOGO online for the past 3 months with a coupon code. Combine that with 15% off gift cards and their points system and you're looking at $3-4 a footlong

I mean hopefully not.
Is Imitation Calamari Made From Pig Rectum? The Anatomy of a Food Rumor.
A friend told me the other day that she'd heard a horrifying report on public radio: You know those deep-fried, chewy rings of calamari? Sure. Well,...
But the rumor did force me to confront, in my heart of hearts, whether I believe I'm the kind of person who would notice if my fried calamari were replaced with fried hog rectum.
(Because I know I'm not.)
Just another day of neo-yellow-journalism...
We are in the Second Gilded Age after all. We get all the con artists and snake oil salesmen that come with it.

Yeah canned tuna (which this is basically what this is) is such an absurdly cheap protein that I'm highly doubting this whole thing. Tuna is like 90 cents per can retail price which is far more expensive than what these companies can get it for.
How the fuck is a sub not a sandwich?what the FUCK is it then
Where do Subway sandwiches fit on this matrix:

Oh so it's mostly bullshit.
Marketplace here in Canada did a similar test of their chickens breast meat and found similarly troubling results
Call me crazy, but it should be illegal to feed people food that science can't identify.
Because it's not two distinct slices of bread? That's my guess. My rule of "Is it a sandwich?" or whatever is "If someone offers you a sandwich and hands you this, would you be surprised?"
A sub is a sandwich. It would be super weird if someone offered you a sandwich and handed you a hot dog or pop tart, though.

As a former Subway employee, I can tell you that fake tuna doesn't even crack the top five problems the restaurant has.
Please do not eat there.

That seems super weird to me when even wiki defines a sub as submarine sandwich
Submarine sandwich - Wikipedia
so like I get that it's a type of sandwich but to remove it from the larger category seems really weird.
Like saying a truck isn't a car.
a hot dog I can see the argument.
If we accept pop tarts most of anything is a sandwich then.
NPR did a report, after researching didn't find any evidence of it actually happening. Then they fried up some pig rectum and tried it and apparently it was indistinguishable. So end result is no confirmation that it happens but if it did you wouldn't know.
It truly is horrendous.
Just that horrible sugary bread smell they pump out of their shopfronts is enough to make me nauseous.

It's not, it's a sub. A sandwich has two independent pieces of bread with a filling between them. The two halves of a sub are connected, thus not a sandwich.
It's science.

I'm not going to search the entire thread to see if you ever justified your BS statement.
Subway calling their food a subway sandwich is a lie. Both calling it a sandwich and calling it food.
From the world where pancakes are an open-faced sandwich and subways are basically a giant taco.
My sub sandwiches always have two distinct pieces of bread (with plenty of filling between them).
I am somehow disgusted & intrigued at the same time.
With that said, that's probably an end with my love for calamari. I can't forget something like this.
I find that unlikely. I've prepped calamari in a restaurant before and all of it came in "squid" form, ink sack and all... unless the ink sack was actually fecal matter.
Sure, why waste time reading the thread when you could better spend it being mad.
Are you a calamari fisherman or something? Are you worried my question might impact your livelihood? Or are you part of the hog rectum calamari scam and I'm getting too close to the truth for you?
I couldn't care less about what the fast food chain promoted by a pedo calls what it serves at this point.
It matters. It's hugely important. Giganteously important, in fact. Do you really want to live in a world where people call a bowl of cereal soup?
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria! Is that what you want?
That's easy, can you mop up with a piece of bread?
if the answer is no, then it cannot be soup.
That doesn't mean everything you can mop up with a piece of bread is soup.
Things can be defined as a bunch of different, sometimes hilarious, things based on various definitions. Truly amazing.
