Yeah, I think it’s a southern jersey/Philly thing.


No, I don’t think it’s south Jersey or Philly at all. The people I know from there all say lunch meat.

I think it’s more north Jersey/New York maybe.


Hmm…I lived in northern NJ and say deli meat. Language is fascinating.

Lunch meat is what DH, from CO uses and so do I. I call it normally ham, salami, turkey, prosciutto, by the name of the item.

OP here. Well. While I was not paying attention, my spouse got on here with this addition, kind of changing the simplicity of my design. All I really wanted was cold cut / lunch meat. But spouse is a cutie, and frankly also HOT🔥, and has added an interesting component to the answers. Thanks, sweetie! Love you❤️


I think I just got a cavity reading that.

For some reason I think cold cuts is a Northern thing--like pop instead of soda, etc.

The NE says cold cuts. DC is arguably not the NE but places north of here will use it. "Lunch meats" sounds Midwestern and/or Southern to me but I am open to correction.

Lunch meat. Or sandwich meat.

Dad from Boston said cold cuts and it annoys my mom so he uses the phrase as much as possible for maximum annoyance
