The whole "toe-mar-to/toe-may-to" thing is a long standing joke between me and one of my bestest friends. Maybe I should explain.
Back in 2004, I visited her in North Carolina, and we went into a Quiznos.
When asked what salad I wanted in my sub, I said "everything but tomato" in my English accent. The person behind the counter looked at me oddly and said "What?". I repeated "no tomatoes please". Again, another blank stare.
I sighed, realising they didn't understand what I was saying, and said "no toe-may-toes". This they understood!
Yay, Quiznos
. Been to one in Birmingham and it beats Subway by a long way. Pricy though, and they've not made their way north yet.
