what are your ideal lunch meat/cheese combinations?

[nageov3t]

I had a ham and provolone sandwich today because ham happened to be the only meat I had in my fridge and I wanted to use up my provolone... it was pretty not great. got me thinking, though, what are your preferred meat/cheese combinations?

based on the deli meats that I buy on a regular basis...

ham = american, cheddar, or swiss
buffalo chicken = american or cheddar
chicken / turkey = anything
salami = only provolone

 

[Leros]

I almost always use provolone.

 

[nakedfrog]

Blimpie Best is pretty good. Ham, salami, cappacola, prosciuttini, provolone, and whatever else you have them put on it.

 

[ahenkel]

roast beef + swiss
ham + medium Cheddar
provolone + turkey
salami+sharp cheddar

 

[gimmewhitecastles]

i don't think buffalo chicken counts as a deli meat. but if i do get it i usually have it with blue cheese.

i like swiss, gouda, pepperjack, or provolone with the deli meats.

 

[Exterous]

roast beef + swiss
ham + medium Cheddar
provolone + turkey
salami+sharp cheddar

Pretty close to the same although I much prefer colby jack with roast beef

 

[rasczak]

slammi and provolone tastes great!

 

[moshquerade]

pastrami + swiss

 

[BurnItDwn]

muenster on all cold cuts IMO

 

[CallMeJoe]

Roast beef with Pepper Jack or horseradish cheddar.
Corned beef or Pastrami with Swiss.
Ham with Swiss, Sharp Cheddar or Colby.
Salami with Cheddar, Monterrey Jack, Colby or Cream Cheese.
Turkey with Swiss or Monterrey Jack.


edit: Turkey can be plain or smoked. Ham can be Peppered, smoked or maple cured. Country Ham (salt cured) needs a stronger cheese.

Jarlsberg and Havarti can be substituted for Swiss as desired.

[Possessed Freak]

Used to love Pepperoni and Ketchup sandwiches. Now I like plain jane Turkey and mayo.

 

[daw123]

I've had ham, pastrami, swiss cheese and coleslaw, which was nice.

 

[zinfamous]

pastrami + whatever. it doesn't really matter once pastrami is involved.

I love me some salami + provolone.

bonus points for boar salami + pecorino.

 

[CallMeJoe]

dear god man D:

That was my reaction, until I tasted it. The flavors meld brilliantly.

 

[CPA]

roast beef and baby swiss
Turkey and ham with just about any cheese
Salami is by itself. It's too good to ruin it with cheese.

 

[sjwaste]

Prosciutto and fresh mozzarella. Delicious.
I also like mortadella and american or provolone.

I've found I'm much pickier about the lunch meat than I am the cheese, as long as the latter is decent. I like the Italian varieties more than anything, probably because I grew up with those, but Virginia Ham is also ridiculously good.

 

[blackdogdeek]

turkey, fresh mozz and sundried tomatoes from Fiore's in Hoboken, NJ.

Here endeth the thread.

 

[AreaCode707]

Roast beef and havarti!

 

[lxskllr]

I don't like lunch meat so much. The only time I get it is the occasional Italian sub when I'm out. I make cheese sandwiches/subs though. My top cheeses for that are cheddar, Swiss, and provolone.

 

[KeithTalent]

Roast beef and havarti!

Yep, very yum! A good horseradish cheddar is also nice with beef!

I love Ham and Gruyere.
