I have no idea where M finds out about new sandwiches since he doesn’t have TV. He always seems to know when a new sandwich have launched in Canada. He told me about Subway and how there is a better “McRib” that they are offering.

We hurried down to Subway like 2 kids on a Christmas morning. We walked inside and didn’t see much advertisement about this sandwich, but good thing the workers knew what we were talking about. Their rib meat is similar to McDonalds with the artificial look of rib bones embedded to the meat mixture. Honestly, it looked a bit disgusting especially when there is no BBQ sauce to cover it up.

Like any Subway sandwich, you have to choose the size and type of bread that you want. Then you can have the option of adding additional cheese or bacon for an extra charge. Since M is a bit of a pig, he had the addition of bacon. Then once the protein portion is complete, you can have it toasted in the oven to heat up the meat and cheese.

When choosing the toppings, this is actually the most crucial step since this can make or break your BBQ Rib Sandwich! I actually ruined mine by adding all the vegetables and putting in honey mustard sauce on top. I KNOW! I forgot the BBQ sauce. I go on auto pilot when I put on toppings and sauces!

The best combination – Lettuce + BBQ sauce. Thats it! No need to go fancy and put on all the vegetables.  You can’t give me choices or else I will ruin something good.

I tried it with my weird combination and it really did not taste as good. It tasted like any ordinary Subway sandwich, but just with different meat. With the customizable toppings, theres a lot that can go wrong when constructing the sandwich. With the amount of vegetables, it made the “ribs” go cold fast and the meat didn’t have good taste either.

M on the other hand had a decent sandwich with the addition of bacon, lettuce and bbq sauce. He still didn’t think it was as good as the McRib. Since the whole “rib” isnt doused in the BBQ sauce, it does lose a bit of flavour.

Overall, not as good as we first imagined. Would you go out and try this sandwich?
