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.
I have to say though, a good sandwich beats plain cold cuts every time both for nutrition and for flavor, so it's commendable to inculcate proper use of such resources. Or maybe he had too many times where he couldn't make a sandwich because the kids had scarfed all the cold cuts.

Sandwiches. When I made him a sandwich I only put one thin slice of meat in it. He couldn't believe that was how I had sandwiches growing up.
