19 Menu Items You Won't Find At Any Subway In America
When you drop by your local Subway for lunch, you pretty much know what you're going to get. Sure, you might come across a new sauce or a special sandwich from time to time, but for the most part the Subway menu remains blessedly unchanged, and you know that your order will taste exactly the same as it did last time. But Subway is a huge chain, with more than 44,000 restaurants in 110 countries, and there are some menu items that you can only find outside of the United States.
Aloo Patty
Apple Pie
Only at Subways in Costa Rica can you top off your sub with an apple pie.
Barbecue Rib
In Germany, you'll find Subway's answer to McDonald's McRib, a pork-based patty marinated in barbecue sauce.
Corn and Peas
At Subways in India, you can order a sandwich filled with corn, peas, and carrots in a mayonnaise-based sauce.
Chicken Cordon Bleu
In Argentina, chicken strips topped with ham and cheese is a popular menu item.
Chicken Seekh
In Indian Subways, you'll find coarsely-ground grilled chicken seasoned with mint and green chile as a protein option.
Chicken Tikka
At Subways in the UK, you can order the Indian chicken tikka, boneless chicken breast chunks that have been marinated in a tikka spice blend and grilled.
Halloumi
Subway guests in Saudi Arabia can order a sandwich made with halloumi, a cheese that originated in Cyprus but is now popular across Greece, Turkey, and much of Arabia. Halloumi has a very high melting point, so it can brown up nicely on a grill without oozing.
Ham and Mascarpone
Only available in Japan, this sub is filled with cold ham and mascarpone cheese.
Oven Potatoes
In Japan you can order oven-roasted potatoes as a side dish, in flavors including regular, barbecue, and cheese.
Paneer Tikka
There's a great cheese option at Subways in India: paneer tikka, the cheese you find served in sauces in Indian restaurants, cooked in a traditional tandoor oven.
Peri-Peri Chicken
Peri-peri (also called piri-piri) is a spicy sauce and marinade of Portuguese origin, traditionally served with chicken, that has become popular in Africa. At Subways in South Africa, you'll find chicken strips flavored with peri-peri sauce and topped with spicy peppers.
Sandwich Wraps
You can turn any sandwich into a wrap (wrapped up in a flour tortilla) in Slovakia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Schnitzel and Slaw
A limited time offer that's only available in Australia, this includes a schnitzel that's been topped with "golden herbs" and cabbage slaw.
Shrimp and Broccoli
Shrimp and broccoli is a classic Chinese-American dish, but in Japan they're loaded up a sandwich loaf with them.
Skagenröra
At Subway restaurants in Sweden, diners can order skagenröra, literally "mayonnaise," a shrimp and crab salad tossed with mayo, lemon, herbs, and spices.
Smoked Chicken and Cream Cheese
At Brazilian Subways, you can order a smoked chicken and cream cheese sandwich, essentially chicken salad made with cream cheese instead of mayo. It's apparently one of the most popular menu items there.
Subway Taco
A Japanese limited time offer, the Subway Taco is a flatbread filled with ground beef and spicy salsa, along with your choice of cheese and vegetables.
Veg Shammi
A vegetarian option at Indian Subways is the Veg Shammi, a sandwich made with lentil patties flavored with garlic and onion.
