Dear Subway,

You had an amazing Veggie Patty. It had this satisfying first bite and the right mouthfeel. It did not drown out its flavor when I loaded the sandwich up with amazing green veggies. It satisfied big hunger (especially the foot-long). It was just perfect with one flaw. It had eggs and milk. That left a vast majority of our Vegan cohorts away from the pleasures.

Requests were submitted, petitions were made, articles were written for years to make it a Vegan Patty. You listened. You worked on it and you implemented the change. Your Vegan customers were happy to see the new patties slowly rolling out in the stores.

The regulars however noticed a change something you did not say you took out! It was not just milk and eggs that were taken out.. there was more! The flavor was taken out, the texture was taken out, the boldness was taken out and the pleasure was taken out.

At first we thought it was just the store, or a less than perfect initial batch. But several days later all those things have still been missing.

What passes for a a patty now is a lumpy flavorless mush. It does not taste like anything. I have never eaten a Newt, but I wonder, if I did, it would probably have a similar mouthfeel!

Your Patty felt like it was designed by a committee that needed to get the job done by designing the least offensive most characterless Patty. It should be so kind that it should not even make itself felt by the 'taste-buds' they might have said!

Please do something! Put some life into it. send it to a 'vegan patty boot camp' or something! Toughen it up, spice it up, give it some strength and some character!

Please Subway!

Sincerely

a long time patron
