deli meats

Sandwich counter selections

Deli meats are pre-cooked or cured meats sold sliced at a delicatessen counter or in sealed packages—ham, turkey, roast beef, salami, bologna, and the like.

They're typically used for sandwiches and cold cuts.

Also called lunch meats or cold cuts: I picked up some deli meats for the party.
