Sub 126

Like so many of us, I am also influenced by the various food TikTokers that buzz about Glasgow churning out content on the "newest must-go-to spot"; this is how I became aware of Sub 126. I had tried to visit them on a few occasions; however, it was always shut. It turns out they close at 3 pm, so I'll take the blame for us previously not being able to connect. However, as the saying goes, "distance makes the heart grow fonder, " which certainly was the case. I had known exactly what I would have for weeks if not months now: the Number 1. The Number 1 is assembled with salami, prosciutto cotto, turkey, mozzarella, tomato, iceberg lettuce, herb mix and sub sauce. This might not sound like something special on paper, but let me tell you, this sandwich was incredible. While eating this sandwich, I felt like I was in New Jersey wearing a velour tracksuit and had a job in waste management. Every element of this sandwich complimented the next without subtracting from itself. The meats were to the highest standard, the sub was like no other, and the iceberg lettuce gave that perfect crisp touch to the ensemble. However, sometimes the most minor details make the most significant impact; in this case, that was the herb mix and the sub sauce. It gave the sandwich this slight edge; without it, my experience would have been different. My only regret is that I shared the sub with my associate, as I could have done with another full one to myself. All this being said, I will adorn Sub 126 with a glorious 5/5; I felt like being more cynical for the sake of being cynical; however, after talking to Ben and Ollie in the shop, it would have felt a bit too mean for my liking.

Black Pine Coffee Co.

I told my chauffeur (No. 6 bus driver) to take me to a bagel spot, and he said he knew of a place, so I ended up at Black Pine Coffee Co. Before I get into the review, I’ll have to iron out the fact that a bagel is a sandwich in my opinion. There is a thin line between a sandwich and other dishes, but a bagel is definitely a sandwich. It can be difficult to distinguish foods such as burgers, which switch sides like the Italians in global conflicts. Anyway, I ordered the Reuben bagel, which embodies pastrami, Swiss cheese, pickles and some sort of sauce. I couldn’t find out what it was, but I think it’s Thousand Island dressing. This is the first sandwich I reviewed where it was already pre-made; I’m not too mad about this, but I also didn’t eat it straight away as I'd just had lunch and didn’t fancy gorging myself. The bagel was fresh and probably one of the best I’ve ever had. The Pastrami and the Swiss cheese were just pretty mid-table, nothing to complain about, but equally evad...

Piece

As we have come to the end of summer (if you can call it that in Scotland), I found myself craving a bit of heat; however, since the weather doesn't work like that, I opted for something to warm my tastebuds instead. This is how I found myself at Piece. While perusing their sandwich menu, I saw they do a Bahn Mi. A Bahn Mi has to be one of the best formulas for a sandwich and is one of the few positives to come out of colonialism. This Vietnamese/French love child hits all the bases in my book. You can't dispute that the baguette is one of the top dogs in the realms of savoury pastry goods, and this, mixed with Southeast Asian flavours, is a recipe for success. Piece's Bahn Mi comprised pulled pork, house slaw, pickled chillies, carrots, coriander, mint, spring onions, soy toasted seeds, nam jim and hot sauce. The sandwich was a bit of a flop (just like any attempt to invade Vietnam). They tried to reinvent the wheel and made a bit of a meal of it. It just didn't taste ...

About & Origins

My name is Finn, and I have to create a blog on any subject matter for my marketing course. The logical topic was obviously sandwiches, as who doesn't enjoy them?  Throughout the next seven blog posts, I will journey across Glasgow and give my silly opinion on a few sandwiches this dear green place has to offer. The history of the sandwich begins in  1762   it is said that John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, was playing a game of cards, and instead of halting the game to eat a meal, he requested that he be served some meat between two slices of bread. It is unclear how true this is as some believe it was a rumour spread by his foes. If that is the case, John's enemies were terrible at insults. Nevertheless, people continued to ask for "the same as Sandwich, " which is how the title persisted. Long gone are the days of the Earl; however, it is apparent that the sandwich is a staple in people's diets all across the globe. In the UK alone, around  3 billion ...
