    I mean, if you’re going out to sit down restaurant and getting a good sandwich, I don’t think that’s unacceptable at all. That said, my local sub shop has amazing subs for $6-8

        That sounds like a dream to me in Germany. Subway for two was around 20€ last year and the average Döner is at least 7-8€, though in my area it’s closer to 10€

          Laughs in Eastern Europe’s 20$/week spendings on food.

          While making sandwiches for myself every day.

          With or without drinks, and footlong or half-footlong? Been a while since I’ve been to subway, but I’d be very surprised to learn that the cheaper half-footlongs are already at 10€ (assuming your area’s taxes, wages and raw material prices are similar to mine, which is not a given). IMO the footlongs are too big to count as “one sandwich”.

            Without drinks and foot long. Even if I don’t finish it in one sitting, I’ll basically always go for a bigger sandwich and have leftovers later, unless it’s something really saucy or likely to get super soggy.

              Yeah, but that’s one big sandwich. 10€ for a big sandwich is different from 10€ for a normal-sized sandwich.

                It’s about the size of a dürüm, at least around me. If they stuffed it really full, it might feel bigger, but subway was never even close to as full as any Döner place makes theirs. I tend to judge the size of food by my companions because I have a bird stomach (I would be happiest having three bites of food every half hour all day long, because otherwise I get really full), and I’m the only one who saves part of it for later.

                    What common German institutions would you compare to the “local sub shop” my original comment responded to other than subway and Döner? They’re not exactly the same, but they’re really the closest thing I can think of.
