Honeybaked Ham. And Jimmy Johns has just expanded and added more stores. I think I heard that Baguette just closed as did a Quiznos on University drive.
No Jewish delis, and I don't foresee one opening up with the lack of Orthodox Jews in town. A synagogue has a Deli Days festival every June but I've found it to be rather weak and quite pricey to boot.
The Baguette Deli on 8th Street closed, but the original on Franklin remains. I was pretty surprised by this. The one on 8th Street was a little pricier given its location, but it was still a cheap option in an area where things aren't so cheap.
I've completely forgotten about patronizing Honeybaked! The one I would go to was a constant lunchtime madhouse being near the Warner Bros. lot, Disney Channel offices, and other media outlets. Yet the sandwich quality remained consistently solid. I need my ham fix too. Nevertheless these wouldn't be regular visits. I'm happy with Giuseppes and Baguette being my standards with an occasional foray into Deli George for their pastrami.
Used to love Hugo's. Haven't been in ages but they used to have some sort of beef with horseradish that was delish. The location I went closed, not sure which ones are left.
My new favorite place in town for an excellent gourmet sandwich is Bleubird in downtown. The Boise Coop makes really good sandwiches too, a little on the pricy side but well worth the extra few dollars.
As I've heard the pronunciation explained from somewhere...
It's Pasty that rhymes with Nasty which it aint,
Not Pasty that rhymes with Tasty which it is!
Basically meat, potato with a little veg baked in a crust shaped like an apple turnover. Very common in the Great Lakes area (especially the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) as an alternative to sandwiches as a take away food, served hot usually served plain or with ketchup... sometimes people put gravy on it if it's served at a table but some folks are like about the gravy!
Also common to make at home, it's just a bit of a project. But once they're made you can freeze them!
I'm about to make a big bunch of them today!

Get 'em quick. The opened 4 of them here in the Seattle area, all gone out of business now.
They didn't have Linguica like in the SF Bay Area but were still great while they lasted.

We had a place similar to this a few years or so ago, but it was replaced with a Baugettes Deli.
There is a small restaurant called Tango's Empanadas from Argentina which are served in crust shaped turnovers.

Oh yeah, I'm familiar with empanadas. A Latin American version in a way but different. We have a favorite Peruvian restaurant that make yummy ones as appetizers. They are usually smaller, and spicier. Very tasty!
You are all making me very hungry! And ramenfan, you really know your food locally. I am always so impressed by your posts.
