Around the World: Subway Japan - Duck Pastrami!

Subway Japan is currently doing a French-themed promotion that includes a Duck Pastrami and Orange Sauce sandwich with an orange sauce.

Sounds pretty fancy no? Duck isn't exactly a common ingredient at a fast food joint. The rest of the sandwich is fairly standard Subway with your choice of bread and veggies. The Duck Pastrami and Orange Sauce sandwich costs 450 yen for a 6-inch (about $5.59 at the time of this writing).

In addition to Duck Pastrami, Subway Japan is also offering a Oil Sardine and Basil Sauce sub sandwich. It doesn't sound as appetizing to me but it's 30 yen cheaper at 420 yen for a 6-inch (about $5.22). But that's not all...

Also available are French Herb Oven Potatoes (toasted and not fried no doubt) and Orangina. If you've never heard of it, Orangina is a carbonated citrus drink that originated in France and features a blend of orange, lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit juices and some pulp for good measure. It reminds me a bit of Squirt but with actual fruit juice, albeit from concentrate.
