I'd like to speak to Mr. Pita

It's been far too long since my last sandwich
Truly, it's a wonder I'm still alive, because I have no idea what I've eaten in the past month
I can tell you for sure that it has not been sandwich

I had to get off the tragic path I was headed down and had to consume a sandwich
My life practically depended on it

I now work on a different side of town, so part of my new challenge is finding good sandwich places
I passed by a Mr. Pita on my way in this morning, and thought, "rolled sandwiches count!"


The countdown to lunch had begun
In order to scarf sandwich at precisely noon, I got in to Mr. Pita quarter to, just in case they were slammed
They were not and my Italian pita was packed in seconds

The Italian pita claims to have Salami, Ham, Swiss, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pepper rings, and Italian dressing
Either the economy has had a serious impact on meat and cheeses, or I got an abbreviated Italian because I only caught a bite or two of salami and Swiss, and I don't even remember having tomato on mine!

What I do remember is trying to bite big enough in order to get both meat and veggies in my mouth
A bite of meat alone was OK, but to get veggies alone was a little too much for the pallet.
I enjoyed the onion, red, by the way, and the peppers, but the flavored needed to be calmed down by the ham and occasional bite salami.

I have a suggestion for Mr. Pita: put the meat down first and then the veggies on top so when you wrap the thing up, there'll be meat and veggies in every bite, and you won't have customers like me trying to stuff the whole mess in their mouth.

Plus, that might help keep the Italian dressing contained, because I'll tell you what, that constant back-and-forth biting made it especially difficult to be tidy.

I'll probably be eating at Mr. Pita again, but only because I haven't found a better sandwich shop in my new area.
