I Don't Know What Was in the Mustard

I love mustard. I'm willing to try most kinds - but my favorite is probably spicy brown. I'm not crazy about mayo on my sandwiches - so any sandwich that might usually have mayo (other than egg salad) - I substitute mustard.

Today I went to Subway (kid's forced me into that) and bought a Veggie Delite Sub. Wholewheat bread with a bit of cheese, veggies and topped off with some "spicy brown mustard". I'm sure I've ordered it like that before and it was great.

Well no doubt about it - when they say spicy brown mustard, they really mean it! I don't know if I have ever eaten something before today, that actually burned the lining of my nostrils! A first time for everything. Great pain. Burning. Eyes tearing up I'm sure. It was very strange and a bit scary. It didn't happen with every bite - so there must have been areas of the sub that had greater mustard concentrations.

Let's just say if you have a stuffed up nose due to a head cold - just head on over to Subway and ask for a double dose of spicy brown mustard on your sub!

There was a large sized, cardboard cut out of Jared of Subway Weight Reduction fame, inside the store. Said he's kept off his weight for 10 years!

When the kids heard his story - they said they wanted to eat at Subway everyday b/c they needed to lose weight. Of course they don't need to lose weight. I think it had more to do with the fact that they were eating a PIZZA SUB - which they love - and which was most likely NOT on Jared's Subway diet plan.

Are you sure they didn't pit jalapenos on your veggie sub?

There were jalapenos on the sub - but the heat wasn't coming from them. I'm used to jalapenos...this was definitely in the mustard!
