Wandered into our local Subway today and noticed they had a lot of NEW sandwiches on offer, but this one caught our spice-loving eye: Tandoori Twist. Had to try it.

From the press release: “Inspired by the traditional dish, a warm and bold Tandoori-spiced pork cutlet is paired with Monterey cheddar cheese and topped with spinach, tomato, banana peppers and crispy onions drizzled with a vibrant Tandoori-spiced sauce.”

The pork cutlet was a bit mushy and soft for our liking, and not what we would describe as a “cutlet.” (Think of a pork chop, but this is not close.)

We’ve never ordered a Tandoori curry and asked for extra Monterey cheddar either, but for you lucky people, this sandwich comes with it. The “crispy onions” were like those little crunchy things you sometimes sprinkle on a salad, if a crispy onion salad is your bag.

So, how was the Tandoori-spiced sauce? It was OK, kind of reminiscent of the flavour you get with a Tandoori bag of crisps. It’s there, but just about.

Glad we tried it but give the Subway Tandoori Twist a disappointing Brits in Toronto 1/5 stars.
