Sometimes the very thing we crave most for lunch is a simple deli sandwich. Two slices of fresh rye bread, mustard, mayonnaise, a few pickles, and of course the main attraction—a few cold slices of deli meat. But which deli is the best to use in a deli sandwich? Here are a few excellent choices to go with.
Pastrami
Perhaps one of the most iconic deli meats to eat is pastrami. With a deep, rich flavor and savory finish, you really can’t go wrong with it. Pastrami texture tends to have the perfect balance between roughness and softness, which is a great complementary texture for a sandwich.
Turkey Breast
The flavor of turkey breast deli is a little bit less bold than that of pastrami, but that’s also one of the reasons it shines so much. The subtle flavors are sometimes exactly what you need in your sandwich, and it pairs absolutely brilliantly with a rich, bold barbecue sauce.
Salami
And finally, we have salami. Ahh, love it or hate it, there’s no denying that salami is one of the most unique foods in the world, because there’s nothing quite like it. Some salamis are better than others, but if you can find one that works for you, you’ll have a hard time choosing anything else for your deli sandwich.
