Which is the correct usage?
I will total the responses and henceforth go with that. Right now it is a simmering point of contention with the potential to flare into unpleasantness, and I do not want to enter the hols with this an open question. 16 Dec COB deadline for those interested in helping me. This binary: one or the other. I do not want a bunch of DCUM existentialism or vignettes from your own families and how they wrestle with it. Cold cuts / lunch meat. That’s it. Thanks! |

Cold cuts
(Although I don't see why it has to be one or the other and have always assumed the different usage is just regional differences.) |

Me too! Most often more specific though (deli turkey, deli ham) because people rarely eat all kinds of deli meat so it pays to be specific. |

Lunch meat here, although deli meat works, too.
Cold cuts just sounds weird. |

I grew up in a cold cuts household but married into a lunch meat family.
I prefer the term charcuterie, which I just shorten to charcs. “Goin to the store, anyone need some charcs for their lunch buckets?” |

Lunch meat, if cold cuts is the only other choice.
(But I really call it deli meat for the catch-all term or sliced ham/sliced turkey if I'm being specific) |

| Why is this under general parenting forum? Wouldn’t it be better suited for the Food forum? |

Lunch meat.
But why is this a bone of contention in your house? |
