deli ham

Sliced lunch protein

Deli ham is ham that has been cooked, cured, and sliced thin for sandwiches, typically purchased at a delicatessen counter where it's cut to order.

The term distinguishes it from ham you'd roast at home or serve as a main course: I picked up a quarter pound of deli ham for lunches.

It's usually sold by weight and eaten cold.
