People are calling sandwiches 'homemade Subway'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Remember when restaurants would proudly claim things like 'Just like mama made!'? Well now it seems we've become such consumerists that things are going in the other direction, with more people than I can feasibly fit in this article describing the humble sandwich as a homemade version of what you buy in a shop.
Twitter user @michaeljhudson was the first to spot it, before BuzzFeed rounded the examples up, many of which genuinely seem to view a submarine roll as entirely a Subway thing.
Admittedly, some of the creators can be forgiven for making a Subway-esque recipe:
Some tread a dodgy ground toward just a sandwich:
Some are just weird Philly cheesesteaks:
And some are just straight-up SANDWICHES:
What's next? Loaves are 'homemade Hovis'? Chips are 'homemade McCain'?
As social media faux pas go, this is way less cuter than grandmas accidentally tagging themselves as Grandmaster Flash.
