How many of you buy Cold Cuts? (health, leftover, cheap)

That bone in turkey breast is a winner. It always tastes better when its roasted with the bone in. And $.99/lb. Cool!

Not a big fan of cold cuts. DH gets bologna and ham for him and Darcy. I will eat Italian roast beef on one or two sandwiches, but that's it. Our local farmer's market has a great turkey breast that tastes just like Thanksgiving turkey so I will eat that. I do like sliced cheeses, but I lose interest within one or two sandwiches. However, Costco is now selling packaged Havarti that is already sliced (and has paper between the slices) and it is really good.

I like to get lebanon bologna, salamis, and various tasty Italian meats from the deli. It just depends on what I'm craving that week.

I always ate peanut butter.
I can't even eat a sub sandwich... I still don't like them even as an adult.

Same here, with some very limited exceptions. I like to make melts with buffalo chicken breast and provolone, and am ok with Trader Joe's rosemary ham. If I have to I can usually stand ham, but find it nearly impossible to choke down cold turkey. Forget bologna.

I'm not sure why I dislike it so much, it definitely made things more difficult as a kid. I ate PB&J all throughout grade school.

ill pick one up and give it a shot. probably wont do anything to worry about taste. taste isnt important to me (i can always dip it in lemon juice or yoshida sauce). my biggest concern would be overcooking it.

We usually buy turkey and ham, sometimes roast beef.

I will typically purchase turkey and ham at the deli counter.

Although...I will admit to the occasional bologna and cheese sandwich. Bologna, American cheese (NOT individually wrapped "singles") with a bit of mayo on white bread.

I'm sure there's something healthy there......somewhere.

Not a big fan of it, even the "good" deli stuff v. prepackaged/loaded with preservatives and salt. If I'm going to eat my meat cold, I'd prefer it just be leftovers of something I made....sandwiches made of Thanksgiving roast turkey leftovers, pulled off the bone...same for roast chicken...leftover pot roast chunks can be cut up and used to make a great sandwich, esp. if run through a toaster oven with a slice of provolone on top. Cold cuts just always have a weird consistency, to me. About as close as I'll come is, once in a while, pick up some good dry-cured Italian sausage for a nice antipasto.

I buy american cheese from the deli regularly. Land O Lakes is preferred here and I rarely will buy something different. Once in a while I will buy turkey breast, ham, provolone, or salami. That would be more in the summer time.

Does your bologna have a second name?
