We dedicate our latest adventure to the one and only Adam Richman, aka Man Vs Food.
During last summer's adventure in Scotland we decided to enjoy a Subway foot-long sub as our lunch every day. Filling, tasty, but.....no sweetcorn to be found north of the border! Sam's sub of choice starts with ham and sweetcorn, yet there was no sweetcorn to be found in Scotland! Odd. We've written to Subway, but so far there's no reply. We decided to construct our Dream Sub, and assembled the pile of ingredients shown above. Can you spot all the things we used?
We split the breadstick (tiger bread, Sam asked for it), and found that one half was indeed a foot long - the other piece was a foot and a quarter....
Both were buttered.
Then we started to warm up those ingredients that required heating....four pans were required....
To add healthiness, lettuce was deployed.
And tomato.
On Sam's sub there was a huge dressing of sweetcorn.
Ample cucumber followed....
And then, natch, ham....in both....
Next into Sam's was sausage-shaped home-made burger, rolled and shaped by the man himself.
Into Dad's went a home-made cheeseburger using American cheese, sliced in half.
Followed by a fried egg (in memory of Sam's Grandad - egg banjo was his favourite food) .
Then we added hot dog sausages into both.
Sam added Jaffa Cakes, meatballs, and tomato soup! With a side of Milky Way and Fudge bars. Crazy!
While Dad added onion gravy and meatballs.
To finish we added a handful of fries on top....
We dived into our sandwiches at half past noon on Saturday lunchtime....an hour later we conceded defeat. Sam had eaten all the filling of both halves of his creation, and scooped out most of the bread from the half-subs. Dad had eaten a complete half, and most of the second half.
But in the battle of Sam & Dad versus Food today........food won.
