Let me count the ways.

Boar's Head pastrami.

Mayonnaise.

Lettuce.

Tomato.

Pickles.

Red Onions.

Pepperoncinis.

Melted mozzarella cheese.

A freshly baked sub roll.

Life is good, to be sure, but life is better with a good deli.

I hate you, Saxon. I was already hungry, and then you go and post that. I have another forty minutes before I go home. Ack!

This really sounds like the kind of thread I could sink my teeth into.

Sounds like an old Mad Magazine parody:

Hello, Deli.
This is Joe, Deli.
Would you please send up some turkey on rye.
A box of Ritz, Deli,
And some Schlitz, Deli.
Some tomatoes and potatoes and your apple pie...

(Can't remember the middle...)

Oh, please don't be late, Deli.
'Cause I cannot wait, Deli.
Deli without breakfast I will die.

(Sung to "Hello, Dolly" of course.)

Ah, sandwich haiku! Beautiful.

Simple joys of life
Ham, provolone, and mustard
Not much, but not bad.

So, for the first time in the year since I was introduced to Rinaldi's, I ordered a different sandwich: turkey, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a sub roll. And it was good.

But I felt like a traitor.

I have discovered pannini, recently at Andiamo, a place in Amherst. (Sarah, have you tried them?) They are way too expensive, but my husband and I are both addicted.

It's kind sad - the best deli sandwich I can find comes from Publix (a chain grocery store).

White bread
Spicy mustard
mayo
roast beef
lettuce
Oil
Vinegar
Pepper

Simply delicious! [Big Grin]

Edit: And American Yellow cheese. [Big Grin]

Good recipe for panini (which apparently has only one "n")

Saxon 75,

I just visited my family in Phoenix. My brother turned forty, and I got him a gift certificate to this tiny family deli. He was SO excited. He has been going there since he was in high school! He always gets the same thing, turkey or tuna.

By the way, if any Phoenix folk are out there, it is called Cheese n Stuff.
My parents swear by DeFalco's, which also has hot Italian food.

saxy:

About the 'traitor' sandwich. Good call on mixing the avocado, turkey and tomato, but next time add bacon. It makes for an awesome sandwich.

And: Speaking of awesome -- that was an awesome haiku I wrote.

Turkey and bacon.
Bird and pig.
One would never think of them as compatible animals, yet in meat form they are pure poetry.

I just saw the Princess Diaries 2 (very silly. gives chick flicks a bad name) and was stumped as to why the Royal last name sounded so familiar. I was puzzled as to whether or not it was a real royal name.

Now I realize. Rinaldi - not only the Genovian royal line, but purveyors of fine Italian sandwiches as well!

I'm not sure if that makes me like the movie better or angry with it for sullying the name.

I haven't seen it, but I wish they would have stayed true to the books. That annoyed me a bit in the first one. They change core parts of her personality that are exactly what I liked about the books.

So, let me tell you a little story about a sandwich I met this weekend. It had turkey and it had avocado. It had bacon and tomato and lettuce. But it also had bleu cheese. We thought about running off together and building a little cabin in the woods where we could raise little sandwich children. Instead, I ate it.

The end.
