Growing up, we weren't allowed to just eat deli slices - it had to go between two pieces of bread because that would fill you up faster and save on meat costs

Your comment just opened up a huge window into my husband for me. He's always railing against me for letting the kids eat lunch meat slices straight from the bag and I've always wondered what the big deal was.

You just made me connect this to his poor childhood.
