I have long been a fan of Reuben sandwiches. I went out to lunch with a friend and she ordered a Rachel sandwich. I had never heard of it before. I do live a fairly boring life.
There was a small grocery store by my hardware store that had been there longer than I have lived in Colorado. It recently changed ownership. One of the new owners went to h.s. and played soccer with my daughter, so I went in to see what the store was like. They are actually a spin off from another small grocery store a few miles away that evidently has around 30 different sandwich choices. As a small grocery store that carries specialty items, it is not a cheap place to shop. You can get a deli made sandwich for around $15. I took a copy of the sandwich menu home. Will I make all of these sandwiches? Probably not, but knowing the recipe options is interesting to me, someone whose most frequent sandwich is grilled cheese, likely 9 out of 10 times that I have a sandwich. I will try some of these sandwiches.
Many things are higher priced now, but I realize that these deli sandwiches can be made at home, if you have the ingredients.
I worked with a man who was often making deli sandwiches for himself for his lunch. Now I wonder if he had worked in a place that made deli sandwiches?
What is involved in deli sandwiches? Particular kinds of bread seem to be involved, such as a Ciabatta roll, rye bread, specialty rolls and more. (I've seen a 6 pack of them at Costco for $6). Deli meats and specific cheeses are used. Dressings, and certain other things like sliced tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, muffuletta (olive salad) and other potential items. There are a number of recipes for these deli sandwich variations.
