Turkey is by far the best deli meat.  Of the turkey options cracked pepper is my fav.

same here!  but sd, don't sleep on oven roasted gold chicken breast.  tried it for the first time a couple weeks back and it was delish! <-not word.

they also have a pastrami coated turkey breast at the store i live near, hmmm?  was ok.

[steve dave]

Will try oven roasted next time, thanks for clue into deliciousness.

as a former employee of a sandwich shop i consider myself to have an extensive history with deli meats.

oven roasted chicken is by far the best white meat. however if the roast beef is high quality it is tough to beat. then again you left out corned beef, and pastrami. it all depends on the use of the meat though. i would say overall, the ORC is the tops. plus it can be healthy.

cappicola

[catdude33]

If you created a "most delicious food in general" thread I would say black forest ham.  This is a no brainer people.

[pissclams]

cappicola

good mixed with other meat such as a turkey.  can't imagine eating a sandwich with just this meat.

the answer is Mr. Goodcents.

[pissclams]

yes! goodcents is good! 

i get boar's head meat which i was always told is one of the better quality deli meats, it's what the market near me sells.

Obv. error in not telling the disgustingest. 

[Rick Daris]

Do Pepperoni and Salami count as deli meats? If so I will go with the combo as my favorite meat/meats. TIA.

it was an italian with everything on it. everything. every sauce that we had. on top of a whole one of those the dude would eat a half chicken parm and 2 cookies. and a large dp to top it all off. this was his lunch, and he would eat it about 2 times a week. also, the dude never wore a shirt whenever i delivered it to him. he was a large fella.

sorry RD, i edited the poll to include those guys.   

[Saulbadguy]

I just got done with a 3 month stint at the deli at the new Topeka Hy-Vee. 3rd generation delicatessen in my family.

Anyways, cappicola works w/ prosciutto, genoa salami, and provolone cheese...excellent sandwich.

I love cappicola but for an every day deli meat I like italian style roast beef, sun dried tomato turkey, cajun turkey, or extra rare roast beef.

Pfanastiel meats are kind of nasty.  They were the only meats we had that had MSG in them.  They also tasted very plain and meh.

how come that's so hard to find? i love it.  also SBG- your opinion of boars head meat?

Boar's head is good, it's the Dillons version of Hy-Vee's "Dilusso".  You can tell if it's good stuff if you get the grainy texture to it, and not the pressed, gelatin like consistency of the generic brands or willowbrook farms.  BH and Dilusso are both "all muscle" meats, which that they don't add gluten and artificial flavors or preservatives.  But yeah, always get the premium meats..they kick the others ass so much.

boars head isn't a dillons owned brand if that's what you're meaning, it's its own company but thanks for the other meat data.

corned beef and pastrami, FTW!

I believe Boars Head is Kroger exclusive, though.  DiLusso is HyVee exclusive, but it is a division of HORMEL foods.  That's what I meant.

i buy boars head at hen house, they're not owned by krogers.  i dunno.  picked up a pound of over roasted chicken tonight.

Ah..well, perhaps i'm mistaken.  In Topeka all we have is Wal-Mart, Dillons (Kroger) and Hy-Vee.  Give DiLusso a try from Hy-Vee.

hy-vee   

[Saulbadguy]

hy-vee   

Heard the Hy-Vee's in KCMO aren't that great.   

[pwrcat1]

hy-vee's everywhere are great.
