[edit] Merge?

I think we can merge this page with deli meat. A combined page for both could add information to each. Anyone else agree? Wyldphyre 04:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree with merging. As a side comment, clicking "Roast Turkey" on this page links people to the country Turkey instead of Turkey (bird). Sorry, I don't know how to fix that. {Bob}

[edit] Citing high Fat and Sodium

I believe that a citation is in order for the high fat and sodium content of cold cuts, since most deli-prepared, non-prepackaged cold cuts are just normal cuts of meat, and have no substantially different fat or sodium content than normal. A distinction should be made between freshly prepared deli cold cuts, and pre-packaged, typically preserved cold cuts. 70.35.160.201 09:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definition

Cold cuts are cheeses or precooked meat [...] served cold on sandwiches

- Does the term "cold cuts" really include cheeses?
- A number of the listed cuts (e.g. salami) are not cooked, pre- or otherwise
- ..."on" sandwiches? Don't sandwiches, by definition, have meat, cheese, etc. sandwiched in them, between two pieces of bread?

One can make or consume an open sanwich (SouthernElectric 15:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Not SPAM

I have remove reference to SPAM as being a type of luncheon, this is not the case, SPAM being made from cuts of pork and ham and not mechanically reclaimed meats. I challenge anyone to find a citation to show that SPAM is made in the same way, with the same 'cuts' of meat, as (pork) luncheon meat. (SouthernElectric 15:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC))
