Cold cuts

Boar’s Head Tavern Ham

The kind with the peppercorns that everyone spits out and yet for some reason people keep buying it anyway

Hard salami on onion sissel (if you can find it) with brown mustard and thinly sliced cucumbers...heaven.

Soppressata, sliced thin, with olives and a strong cheese.

Olive Loaf and Headcheese

I don't understand the question and I won't respond.

Roast beef.

deli meats were largely referred to as cold cuts back in the day. I was always intrigued by “cold cuts”.

I never heard the word sissel in my life.

We had cold cuts a lot growing up. Chicken roll was my favorite. I find them way too salty now so seldom buy them.

Black forest ham and thinly shaved smoked turkey (NOT! BUDDIG! which is cardboard and pencil shavings). Real meat

Yeah, come to think of it, nobody says "cold cuts" anymore. Let's bring it back!

It's what pretentious people call "charcuterie".

I like the German custom of combining cold cuts and eating them with butter on good bread.

But I rarely eat cold cuts.

Oops, what I meant to say:

Charcuterie is what pretentious people call cold cuts.

Are cold cuts really that unhealthy? I know a few people who've told me they don't eat them for that reason, but they eat other hugely unhealthy things for lunch that have way more calories, sugar etc. A lot of brands are high in salt, but other than that cold cuts are relatively low in calories.

The nitrates cause colon cancer.

R15 I think it's the nitrites that are bad for you and the salt

I buy nitrate free cold cuts (Natural Choice)

I like the salami. Thinly sliced with Swiss cheese. It's the salami, boys. It makes my mouth water. I can't wait to eat the salami. You like it too?

What are nitrates? If they can make nitrate free cold cuts then why continue to make cancer causing ones?

"Nitrate-free" is misleading. They just use nitrates/nitrites naturally found in celery juice or extract instead of chemically-extracted nitrates/nitrites, but it's basically the same thing. "Uncured" ham or bacon is the same misleading labeling.

hungarian salami "president's choice" has an awesome one in their brand.

Jersey Mike's sells subs with a lot of cold cuts on 'em, unlike Subway.

Anything Dietz & Watson. Reliably fantastic. Shaved of course.

Cold cunts

I bought some Żywiecka Sausage at a local Polish market a few months ago. Lightly spicy and savory and ADDICTIVE.

Going back to that market tomorrow to stock up!

Everything is fine to eat once in a while. I love salami and sauSEETCH etc, but only have it every couple of months.

Trader Joe's Rosemary ham. So delicious! I haven't had it since the beginning of the pandemic, unfortunately. Also prosciutto.

Nice R26, are you going to eat it when you're done with it?

Yeah it is the salt that is bad for you.

Nitrates preserve the cold cuts as does this salt. Nitrates also give cold cuts much of their distinctive flavor.

A nitrate will meet a protein in the body and combine to form nitrosamines, which are thought to cause cancer.

As another poster stated you can use celery to "cure" meat but it's merely a "natural" nitrate and has the same exact effect when combined with protein.

That said, most people don't consume enough cold cuts to present a risk. The recommended limit is once per week and no deli cured meats for children under 13.

Isaly's Chipped Ham

[quote]Nice [R26], are you going to eat it when you're done with it?—We all know why you purchased it...

R29 - Believe it or not, I *just* got back from the Polish Market an hour ago and am enjoying my Żywiecka sausage with a cold Żywiec beer. I started browsing DL and found your reply and burst out laughing!! I had the woman behind the counter slice it for me, so NO, I did not bring home a whole sausage for immoral purposes.

Too bad I didn't see your response sooner. I would have at least thought of you and smiled while I stood at the deli case.

Speaking of “cold cuts,” for some strange reason every time I buy deli ham lately it’s always got gristle or that hard silver shit in the ham and it’s disgusting. Doesn’t matter what brand I get either. I rarely used to have this issue.

How could you forget THE GABAGOOL?

Nutloaf

Revengalogna!

R24 Dietz & Watson make a nice bologna. And I don’t even like bologna!

Gay child and cold cuts

A cold cheese sandwich is delicious.

Salami sandwich, yes GAWD hunny!

R24 Agreed! I especially like their German Bologna. When I'm in a shop that doesn't carry D&W or Boar's Head, I'll settle for Scott Peterson's Veal Bologna, or any Kosher Beef Bologna.

I love salami of all kinds as well.

Usually the italian ones, but I will admit - as a nostalgic fat whore on this anonymous board - a few weeks ago I made a bologna and velveeta, iceberg lettuce and tomato sandwich, and enjoyed the FUCK out of it.

Part of a good cold cut sandwich is having good bread. What bread does everyone like?

Pepperidge Farm 7 Grain if I’m being basic

Lebanon bologna, either regular or sweet. It's from Lebanon, PA and isn't like regular bologna at all, more like a lacto-fermented salami that's fairly soft.

R45 Cheers Magda. I've yet to try that, and it's been highly recommended to me. Looks interesting, kind of a best of hoth worlds if you like a salami.

R43 The bread depends on your mood. Rye with seeds is always a good bet, and cocktail rye is perfect for whipping up fancy tiny sandwiches. Roast beef with horseradish cheddar deserves a puffy kaiser roll. Hoagies are the ultimate cold cut sandwich and they are served on Italian rolls, preferably ones on the softer side like Amoroso's. A nice brioche is right for croques monsieur et madame. The delightful Monte Cristo is best with brioche or sourdough. I'm going to have to stop now as I'm getting really hungry.

It’s hardly revolutionary, but my life changed for the better when I started putting Duke’s on the interior of both pieces of bread, along with coarse salt and pepper.

That was a good day, my friends.

R43 Not unlike Magda, depends on the day and my mood. My usuals are sourdough, or a nice fresh baguette. I need and demand Rye for Pastrami and Corned Beast however. Onion bagels and bialys for tuna, sardines, trout, mackerel, and salmon.

Salt bagel for smoked salmon

R45 beat me to it. Growing-up in Ohio, one of my favorite sandwiches was Lebanon Bologna. I'm in CA now, and have to order it online because no places here carry it. I think its because it was never actually marketed outside PA and the Eastern Midwest. Maybe they need a Lebanon Bologna Council of America.

Processed meat, especially pig flesh, is a known carcinogen.

R39 is either a sarcastic elementary schooler posting from 1978, or the Darfur orphan feeling like he's won the lottery. Hard to tell.

R54 I like Cheese and pickle (Branston). It's nostalgic for me. I'm not R39 however.

What can I say, r54?

A couple of thick slabs of extra sharp cheddar, Old Croc in a pinch, on some bread, mayonnaise dab of mustard, salt and pepper, and I’m walking in high cotton.

You gays eat way too many processed foods and spend way too much money. Remember, people first, then money, then things! 😹

Big Suze?

R9 Do they sell chicken roll still? It was one of my favorites too, but I have not seen it in a long time, and I have looked.

Corned beef

R59 Not R9 here, but that stuff does seem to be scarce these days, and I much prefer it to turkey. Mariano's in Chicago had some last year, but I haven't seen it since. (E. Village location/Chicago Ave.)

Dietz & Watson Off The Bone Ham, shaved.

"Isaly's Chipped Ham"

Yes! With potato chips on top of a buttered hamburger bun at the picnic table in my grandparents' backyard on a summer Sunday evening.

I love ham and turkey on good wheat bread. I usually have it with cheddar, pickle relish, and Durkee sauce.

I see your chopped ham R63, andI'll raise you a Taylor ham.

Glad I don't eat these fattening, high caloric foods! 🤮🚽

Oh Durkee’s yes!

Mortadella with pistachios

Do help yourself, Chief Inspector.

The clubs are anchovy, salmon spread in the hearts, marmite spades - and potted meat diamonds.

Cold cuts from the market are never as good as leftovers from your own fridge.

leftover country ham on a biscuit

I can't think of anything more common and vulgar than serving people cold cuts.

You know what that screams: POVERTY!

R72 = Marlo Thomas

Jamon Iberico de Bellota

Poverty, schmoverty... You're obviously oblivious to the price of cold cuts these days... they're all sky high. Really poor people probably struggle to afford most of these.

R74 Yum, and good for as well, when compared to other ham. Very healthy lipids with those acorn-fed pigs:

Subway has capicola now - yum!

Erryone dunks on Subway, but I like it every so often.

Cold cunts

Favorite cold cut would be Joey in Sean Cody's Winter Getaway.

Hard salami and cream cheese on a bagel with a bowl full of pimento stuffed olives on the side.

Wonder Bread

- Basic Bitch

Usinger's liverwurst. I hate liver but I LOVE this.

Mortadella.

Schaller and Weber bologna, French bistro ham.

Pastrami

Pastrami from Katz’s or Langers. I’m the pastrami maven.

Langer’s yes Gawd

That sounds awesome, r81

Aldi Liverwurst is as good as Boar's Head and much cheaper. About once a month I have it open faced on rye toast with good mustard and beer. My favorite "I don't feel like cooking" meal.

Boar's Head dry salami rules too.

I will not buy cheap meat. That’s where I draw the line.

When I think of deli food I remember how in my 20s I didn’t really cook. Fairway around the corner sold cheddar cheese sourdough rolls and apricot glazed ham. That was dinner.

I could also make a Greek salad.

Prosciutto from Trader Joe's

Hard salami with cheese and olives and bread and butter.

^^^ yes

A muffuletta is good, love the olive salad.

It is a bit bready, but I haven’t actually had one from New Orleans yet.

I like a cold meatloaf sandwich.

Has anyone tried one of those shooters’ sandwiches?

They were big for a while, but I never tried one. I think the Two Fat Ladies made one on an episode.

This was the shooter sandwich episode, although many of the others I’ve seen were more cold cut based.

R96 My first muffuletta was in New Orleans and that got me hooked on the olive salad relish and salami.

R97 I make a great meatloaf and eat one serving hot out of the oven with mashed potatoes and corn. The rest is devoted to cold meatloaf sandwiches with raw onion and mayo.

Yum r99. I love meatloaf sandwiches.

Miss Elle’s Homesick Bar & Grill on the Upper West Side served what they called the “leftover sandwich” which was always a meatloaf sandwich. I miss that place. 😢

I love fancy poultry parts
