It’s about the size of a dürüm, at least around me. If they stuffed it really full, it might feel bigger, but subway was never even close to as full as any Döner place makes theirs. I tend to judge the size of food by my companions because I have a bird stomach (I would be happiest having three bites of food every half hour all day long, because otherwise I get really full), and I’m the only one who saves part of it for later.
What common German institutions would you compare to the “local sub shop” my original comment responded to other than subway and Döner? They’re not exactly the same, but they’re really the closest thing I can think of.
Most bakers sell rolls or baguette pieces filled with salad, cheese/meat and often a slice of tomato. It’s closer to a sandwich than a döner IMO, but you could also call them proto-hamburgers.
I would call that a sandwich, but not a sub. We make them at my bakery, but even with a half baguette, we put one slice of tomato, one slice of cucumber, one piece of lettuce, and two pieces of turkey/cheese or three pieces of salami/ham (along with generous Remoulade). I love bread and that’s still a wild bread to filling ratio, and it would be straight up immoral to change €10 for it imo (honestly, we charge €4-5 for it, and that still feels shitty). Plus they’re premade, which makes a difference for me in the feeling of it (you can order one new, but it’s annoying as shit for us because we then have to reclean the kitchen
Yeah, but that’s one big sandwich. 10€ for a big sandwich is different from 10€ for a normal-sized sandwich.

Yeah well, a döner isn’t really a sandwich.
