Your Idea Of The Lunchmeat You Rate As Never

We travel from home to Adelaide for dancing/ and medical appointments/ shopping ( 320 km return trip) afternoon dances are our preference in winter months .
We have those wide mouth food thermos flasks so if I’ve got any soup or other hot foods I’ll bring that with us for lunch , or I’ll butter nice fresh bread or rolls and buy a 1/4 of a hot chicken to make us lunch in preference to eating foods prepared by someone else at pubs / cafes .

My hubby calls me particular yes I’m I like our food to be as nutritious and fat free as possible
so they can keep the luncheon meats

You've got me so queasy, @Aunt Marg . I don't care how poverty stricken I'll become, I refuse to eat this stuff. You had me at 'jellied loaf'. :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

I know deep in my heart my mom and dad tried so hard to give us kids the best, but being poor, options were limited.

I remember when I hit the lotto and mom would slice leftover meatloaf thinly and make us sandwiches with that, or a yummy roast beef sandwich with mustard and lettuce, but those occasions were few and far between, and I can only imagine it killed my mom taking the last of the leftover roast beef and using it for sandwiches.

Even when we had nothing left in the house leading up to dads payday, mom always seemed to pull something together for mealtime, but it didn't come without hardship and stress on my mom.

I can say with all honestly, Pam, I could be dirt poor and mock chicken would not figure in.
 
Seems to me our senses interpret the same except for taste and sometimes smell. Going through the grocery store sometimes I see something and think "Who would eat that thing?" The answer is someone.

We've been low-salt for decades so a lot of commercial lunchmeats taste too salty for us. Not fond of head cheese as I'm not a big lover of aspic normally, but my mom loved the stuff and was always thrilled to be able to find it at a deli. It's not common in NorCA markets.

Haven't seen olive loaf in decades! Never cared for green olives until I tried good quality Castelvetrano olives - those are marvelous! Again, though, some brands are too salty so I'm careful about which brand I buy.

Love liverwurst but the only commercial brand we've found that isn't too salty is the Schaller & Weber Braunschweiger (smoked liverwurst), but it's only available at certain stores. We found it on our last trip to the Wine Country, and it was marvelous! Wish I could find it nearby but so far no luck.

Not fond of bologna or turkey ham (ham in general, except for Jambon de Paris, isn't a fav of mine). Though we love sausages, American style hot dogs are not our style either. Spouse is Chinese-Portuguese so he adores linguica, and fortunately there used to be a sizable Portuguese population here (sheepherders in the Wild West/Gold Rush days). There are several excellent local companies that make a good linguica, which makes great sandwiches on a French bread roll! Melted Gruyere and caramelized onions, mmmmmm...................
 
I am not a fan of lunch meats, although I do occasionally eat them. I particularly dislike “flavored” lunch meats such as honey ham. I'd rather make a tuna salad sandwich, chicken salad, or egg salad.

Fortunately, the farm where I buy meat raises turkeys and sells sliced roasted turkey breast, which makes a delicious sandwich. They also produce delicious turkey liver pâté. 😋
