So I'd heard.
And just how far was that tradition from the one of using a 'trencher'?

I could eat a small McD's cheeseburger with one hand but then it does not tend to have much on it and small is the operative word. I'd not try to eat a proper burger with one hand though. Unless, of course, I lost a hand. In that case I would not really have much choice.

Missed the last page. I was thinking about trenchers actually not too long ago because, frankly, I could not be arsed to do the dishes before serving Col with his dinner. So I put it on a slice of bread. Note that it was something that he would have had bread with anyway, obviously But still.

I suppose a McDonald cheeseburger could be eaten one handed, but it's not really what I think of when I think of a "burger". A cheese burger from any proper burger joint would not be easily eaten in one hand. Although the size of your hand may plan a factor.

I used to like Subway before I had some real subs. There's a local chain called DiBella's (which doesn't skimp on the meat like Subway does) whose subs are much better quality and are more generous with toppings. They've also sold their recipes to the local leading grocer, so these combined are my #2 choice for subs. There's a bakery on the west side of the city which also does subs and they are unlike anything I've ever had. The largest size they have is $9 but you could potentially make 4 meals out of it. Plus, they pile on the meat, a very generous helping, and being a bakery, the bread is to die for!
Also, as I see it looks like the conversation may have moved on to burgers and fast food, perhaps the best burger I've had is from a chain called Five Guys!

You're referring to sandwiches as 'subs', Shake. I've never heard them called that. Is that why Subway is so called? I thought it was something to do with the underground.

You evidently didn't read this thread, either. It's explained herein. ITT. The wiki link for 'submarine sandwich' explains it all for you.

Every time I read the thread title I read it as "Sandwich in chains"...

Heh...my first visualization was one of a chain forged of sandwiches. That passed quickly...

At least I think that's what happened.
