Subway's new vegetarian falafel sandwich

Having lived in both Chicago and San Francisco, I can't really complain about lack of vegan food options, though having gone vegetarian over two decades ago, I can say that I've seen a lot of changes. But not everyone lives in the big city, and even for those that do, options can be limited while traveling. However we may feel about large corporations versus small independent businesses, there's no doubt that large chain restaurants have a lot of bargaining power.

First there was the Burger King Veggie Burger. Then KFC Canada introduced the vegetarian chicken sandwich. Now, Subway in Canada (BC and Alberta only, for now) is offering a vegan falafel option. How great is that? The vegan falafel has long been on the menu in Chicago, and is specifically marketed towards vegetarians.

I've long dreamt of the day that Subway offers vegan mayonnaise and soy cheese (really, how hard can it be?), so maybe that dream is just a little bit closer to reality today. And all I have to do is move to Canada.

Canadians (or travelers!), have you tried the vegan falafel patty at Subway? What do you think? Ask them to send us Yanks some, will ya?
