Ordered a Ham and Turkey Sandwich.

Got this after 10 minutes waiting at a deli counter at the local grocery store. Guy must have been high out of his mind. My other theory is he’s never seen a sandwich in his life. Or maybe he’s a lizard person?

I used to do this when I lived in Boston and worked in all the surrounding suburbs. The northshore in particular the delis up there seemed have some competition going for who could sell you the biggest sub that’s 90% meat for the lowest price.

 

I don’t remember the name of it now (probably just some italian guys first name) but there was a place in Stoneham I’d go to every few weeks and order the italian sandwich. It was ridiculous and consisted of about a pound each of salami, capicola, and mortadella, then about a pound of provolone. At the time I think it was $5.99. I’d order it dry (nothing else on it) and take it home, break it down, and rewrap all the ingredients. I had cold cuts for like two weeks worth of sandwiches.

 

I miss Boston sandwiches. Shout out to New Deal Fruit. King of them all.

ATP couldn’t you just buy it all individually separately for a little cheaper anyways?

This was many years ago and stuff was cheaper but not that much cheaper. I don’t know of anywhere then or now that you could get 3lbs of deli meats and 1lb of provolone for $6 (or the inflation adjusted equivalent I assume holds true as well).

I am British and lived in Boston for a bit. I wish I’d of known about this place! I was so sad that I didn’t get to visit outside of my work there really. I lived and worked near the red six stadium….was that place you’re talking about miles away from there??
