You could have made that sandwich a LOT CHEAPER at home…

I just laughed so much that I just about choked, not kidding.

JMMom, when I grew up, where kosher delis were a plenty (and the opposite of where I live now), I don’t recall ever having mayo on deli sandwiches. However, my hubby only uses mayo. Actually, to appease Robert E. Lee, I will mention he makes his deli sandwich at home every day and takes it to work, but I digress.

So, you might be sacrilege but hey, nobody in your neck of the woods will likely notice, lol.

And about those tomato pickles (which my dad who is no longer living also liked), every time I go back home and to the deli, I like to get those as I have never seen them here in VT. A funny thing…last month we were on vacation on our favorite island, Anguilla. If you don’t know Anguilla, it is not very developed. Well, lo and behold in this third world sort of place, a kosher deli opened and we just could not believe it. So, we went and picked up food for the beach and I got an entire container of those tomato pickles. It was so funny to be getting this on Anguilla of all places which is far far far less developed than my rural town in VT where no way could I ever find kosher deli!

While I am on a roll (no pun intended)…I will add that Anguilla is known for its fine dining and we love it. Going out to eat every night on vacation there at a different fine restaurant is our evening’s “entertainment” (or part of it, lol) and Robert E. Lee would croak if he knew that a typical tab for dinner there runs about $150/two.
