SUBWAY

Although I haven't personally eaten at Subway either here or in Goa, I understand that they do not use the some sort of processed foods that McDs do, so perhaps they are a healthier option any way. I'm replying without full knowledge, so will stand corrected if it is revealed they are no better.

If this is the case, that the food supplied by Subway is a healthier option then I should say that they are more acceptable. However I do think it is a shame that wherever you go in the world you are faced with the same outlets, much better in my opinion for things to be more local - and the same goes for the UK.

hi miccie
yep i think your probably correct about the healthier eating issue.
my concern is though, the speed at which the subway outlets have spread in the UK.
these are all franchise outlets and if they use the same system in goa, there may well be a flood of SUBWAY'S there too.
then we will probably see lots of litter outside their shops, just like there are in the UK.

I think that the Subway has been there for a couple of years now, and yes it will probably contribute to the litter, but that is always an issue in India, they do tend to drop everything wherever, I'm always surprised at the amount of rubbish lying about in the ditches and things.

I have used Subway the last couple of holidays. We usually have quite an early flight,so we go to Subway late the previous night and have our purchase double wrapped,so it is still fresh(ish) for breakfast at the airport. Have seen a few others do this as well.Paula

W bought baguettes at Sweet Art in Candolim to take to the airport when we were there in April, much cheaper and much nicer.

Sweet Art is down the road that runs between the Bom Sucesso and the Casa Seashell, it is opposite the Xavier Beach Resort and the Casablanca is just below it. Have to agree with sleeps their cakes are to die for.

Cafe Day are also a franchise there is one on the Baga Road but a new one has opened in Calangute high street their food is delicious and very reasonable also cakes, croissants (chicken ones are delicious) and the iced coffee is to die for. Eat your heart out Starbucks, it is so clean and inside has A/C which is nice. Royal food have now moved to near Focus World, they have turned the old place into an addition to the hotel that was behind it. The Neelim has a huge new extension to their hotel as well.
It's certainly all change in Calangute now. As long as I can keep track of my bread, cakes and icecream I'm happy. :wave Can't wait now to go leave on 2oth Sept for 7 months. I'll get fat and OH will probably have to join AA as he does love his honeybee and kingfisher. :D

Subway may sell itself as being more healthy but all fast food outlets coffee chains etc are a blight on Goa and any other local economy.Guess where 99% of them originate from.Yes the good old U.S.A. a country not exactly known for a healthy population.

McDonalds,Burger king etc etc are slowly killing us all with the rubbish they produce.Monolithic U.S corporations spreading their tentacles across the world makes my blood boil.

Anyway gotta go I am dying for a burger. :D :D :D
