    Ham & Swiss is a great combo. On a good Jewish rye is the right way to do it and of course yellow mustard is crap anyway but spicy brown mustard is perfect. Personally I like Gulden's but others are good. Make the pickle a Kosher Dill and hold the slaw.

    Hey, read the sign buddy: NO SUBSTITUTIONS. Before you know it people are going to be asking for their Diet Pepsis with "light ice", and their ruebens with the dressing on the side.

    That said, a big dill pickle would hit the spot about now.

    Hey if your Deli only has one type of pickle, your loss. As to the Cole Slaw, it is a side, so save yourself some money and save it for the next order. I don't eat the stuff. Man you would think I asked for plain toast.

    Ham n' swiss n' spicy brown mustard on rye is one of my absolute favorite sandwiches.

    When I was a kid baloney with American cheese was a lunch-time staple.

    For some reason we often ate baloney with margarine...which sounds gross now, but I really liked then.

    My mom made the skimpiest sandwiches. A deli owner she was not.

    I have enjoyed all of these sandwhiches at one point or another, but swiss cheese and spicy mustard has to win. Whatever deli meat's included isn't really important. (and tbh, I would prefer turkey to ham)

    It was a close tie between the egg salad and the ham. But ham won out with the mustard. Also ham is miles better than turkey.
    I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

    Um, I went with the only one that isn't completely disgusting or forbidden to me. None of them sound good, though.

    I'm veg., so I can only do two of the above, and I am slowly backing away from eggs. Still, all of these sound good to me.

    I gotta know, what kinda sammich would appeal to you?

    Hmmm. Pastrami or corned beef on whole wheat, extra pickles, lettuce, tomato, mayo. Grilled Muenster on artisanal white bread, with caramelized onions and tomato. Gyro, hold the tzatziki. Grilled chicken with pesto on a ciabatta. Those all sound good to me, though unfortunately I'm all low-carb and can't partake of most of them

    The Capri Deli in Palatine, IL, a place that is perfect in all but its pricing, makes a fresh mozzarella and roasted red pepper
    sandwich that they serve on their own, baked-in-store focaccia that is about the finest sammich I have ever tasted.

    It oughta be good, it's like $10. Freakin fabulous.

    I picked the PB&J as I am a peanut butter fiend.

    However please note my objection that none of these sandwiches have bacon on them, which is wrong.

    The best sandwich in the world is a ham and cheese sandwich with bacon, lettuce, mayo, mustard and tomato served on whatever bread is handy as this is just a vehicle for me to consume delicious pig meats.

    Basically a club sandwich minus the stupid way of cutting it so that you have to take it apart to eat it.

    Mozzarella and roasted red pepper sounds crazy good. Could take it in a Southwestern direction and do something like Oaxaca cheese and roasted green chiles, now that it's Hatch chile season...

    I just ate massive amounts of cheap, Americanized Chinese food. And then I read this and realize how unsatisfying it was in comparison to the possibilities. Damn, that sounds good.

    I went with the ham, swiss, spicy brown mustard and rye. That is bliss on bread.
