deli sandwich
Meat between bread
A deli sandwich is a sandwich made with ingredients typical of a delicatessen—sliced meats like pastrami, corned beef, turkey, or salami, often piled high on rye or other bread with mustard, pickles, and cheese.
The term evokes New York–style delis and their generous, no-frills approach: I grabbed a deli sandwich for lunch.
Any sandwich from a deli counter qualifies, but the classic image is substantial and meat-forward.
