I don't eat meat

[debm55]

11. Ty Wicked Blue. Provolone it is.

[barbtries]

3. a recent favorite has been

turkey with salami. on wonder bread

but the current supply is going bad in the fridge because I don't seem to maintain any interest in any particular food anymore. it comes and goes.

[debm55]

12. barbtries. --Ty. Thant happens here a lot too.

[Chainfire]

4. Black Forrest Ham. (Although I doubt that the ham has ever been near the Black Forrest)

[debm55]

13. Thank you Chainfire. That sounds great.

[Permanut]

5. Spam!

Gave it up because of the salt, but I miss it.

[debm55]

14. TY Permanut. I have never had Spam. Sorry you had to give it up.

[yellowdogintexas]

29. Don't fret. You have not missed a thing. Nasty stuff (It isn't really meat, you know) nt

[Permanut]

43. Hey, grew up with it.

You know how that goes.

[Chainfire]

49. My father loved the stuff so we had it at home. Of course he also liked pig brains fried with eggs.

His eating habits contributed to him dying of a heart attack at age 56 and a few months.

We sent it to the Russians by the shipload during WWII, their troops loved it, but then again they talked about the pleasure of eating lard on bread. Another similar product that made it to my childhood table was called "potted meat." Apparently it was made of every part of an animal that a person would not knowingly eat separately.

[TexasBushwhacker]

48. Sliced thin and fried crispy

Added to my grilled cheese sammich

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

6. Gabagool

a.k.a. capicola

[debm55]

15. Ty. I love it on Hoagies. Enjoy.

[MOMFUDSKI]

7. Thin-sliced roast beast.

And a little horseradish on a Chicago hard roll. With butter, please.

[debm55]

16. That sounds wounderful. TY MOMFUDSKI

[yellowdogintexas]

30. yes!!! Beef must be rare!!! nt

[Mark.b2]

8. Fried bologna nt

[debm55]

18. TY Mark.b2 when I was a kid we ate those. But we didn't call it bologna. In Pittsbirgh we called it Jumbo.

[Mark.b2]

21. Never heardit called jumbo! Actually, we called it 'baloney'! I was just trying...

To be sophisticated and hide my impoverished southern Arkansas upbringing!

[Sneederbunk]

10. Head cheese.

[yellowdogintexas]

33. OMG you are from the country. That is disgusting stuff. I have watched it being made

it isn't appetizing at all
In Kentucky we say the only part of the pig we don't eat is the squeal.

[arkielib]

17. Cornbeef is great. I love Reuben sandwiches.

Next favorite is cracked pepper turkey breast.

[debm55]

20. TY arkielib, That's what we use it for. That cracked pepper turkey breast sounds good too.

[yellowdogintexas]

34. love a good Reuben!!! Or the Rachel, made with pastrami.

I could go for a good hot pastrami on rye with some Gulden's right about now

[Elessar Zappa]

19. Corned beef also but it has to be of an excellent quality with good marbling.

I also like a good roast beef. If I’m buying cheaper lunch meat then nothing beats good ole’ bologna.

[debm55]

22. Thank you Ellessar Zappa. Boar's Head is very good. The same with their roast beef. I do not care for bologna aka Jumbo.

Mainly because that is the only lunch my Mother bought and I got sick of it.

[Elessar Zappa]

25. I was kinda like you for a while.

My mom also gave it to me seemingly every day. I hated Bologna until I was about 35 and now I love it!

[debm55]

38. Ty Elessar Zappa. I never regained my taste for it. Maybe I will someday.

[womanofthehills]

23. Gave up lunch meat because of nitrates

Once or twice a yr, I might buy some salami- but I know it’s unhealthy. I would rather cook up a good grass fed steak and cut it in thin lunch meat slices.

basis. and no researchers or doctors names were given. except for the World Health Organization. I would imagine that the US has a better standard of meat processing than a lot of other countries. I like hard evidence. You provided us with a six sentence paragraph.

[Iwasthere]

42. Nitrites. Imo there are no safe amounts. That's the important point

I personally gave them up decades ago. Not worth taking a chance. Only whole, chemically free foods for me.

[ms liberty]

24. Spanish pork roast

It's required for a real Cuban Sandwich, along with Genoa Salami and boiled ham.

[debm55]

32. TY ms.liberty.Cuban Sandwich are great.

[yellowdogintexas]

A place here makes them using pulled pork barbecue and they are good

26. Pastrami

[Mr.Bill]

27. Pastrami here also.

[debm55]

[TexasDem69]

31. Ham, turkey, corned beef, pastrami

Any deli sandwich meat is good, and healthy too!

[debm55]

40. Thank you TexasDem69 . I love your choices. The way I see it, no one is forcing anyone to eat anything. This is just a

site to discuss things. Different links will show different information. Moderation is key.

[yellowdogintexas]

37. #1 is Rare roast beef, with horseradish mayo on a nice crusty roll

I missed that so much when we moved from BOston

I also like Black Forest Ham . It is very low in fat, and thusly Weight Watcher points.
Thinly sliced turkey breast.
Pastrami and Corned beef

[debm55]

44. Thank you yellowdogintexas. I am going to try some.

[LoisB]

39. Turkey breast (real as in, I bake a turkey breast then slice off pieces for sandwiches). nt

[debm55]

41. Thank you LoisB. I love turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving.with stuffing on top.YUMMY

[DBoon]

53. Ty PittBlue. They still sale it here in Pittsburgh.

[LakeArenal]

55. Anything not a loaf or conglomerate; Like Pimento loaf or Spam.

There’s a dearth of sandwiches in Coasts Rica.

So I’ll take any from above.
