i don't eat lunch often, but if i ate the same thing every day for a week, much less three months, i'd probably go bonzo.

i think it has something to do with preservatives. all subway meats are pre-sliced, sitting in little pre-measured amounts in those plastic bins. i'd buy cross-contamination if it was one place, but this has been since i started going in the early 90's, when they opened one up in the middle of my hometown, and pretty much any other one i've ever been in, across multiple states.

i like plenty of other sandwiches from them, and have sufficient condiment overlap to have eliminated all other factors than the roast beef. i think they must just spritz it with something to have it keep its color and moisture, sliced, sitting in a bin all day.

i rarely get lunch - i just happened to be between buildings (where there was a subway) and had the time. with the amount of construction in the area where i work, trying to get into a deli is a waste of time - construction workers walk in with paper-plate sized lists, and normal customers are waiting like 40 mins. subway delivers, so i was able to order and go.

i do not normally dine at subways (hence the lack of memory on this particular issue), but they are cheap and fast, which not much else is around my workplace.

My thoughts exactly.
