Cold Cuts: The sandwich thread

I take lunch to work quite often, so I was wondering if I'm missing out on sandwich combos?
What kind of sandwiches do you make for yourself?
I'm a sliced (thin) chicken breast kind of guy. The cheese rotates for me, and then usually top it off with pickle, tomato, or avocado (only 1 of the three at a time). Mayo and sometimes some sweet hot mustard.
I'm picky when it comes to ham, and same with roast beef.

Yes, peppered turkey is good. You ever try chicken breast, RR?

This thread is geared more towards the "make your own" sandwich crowd, guy.

Please don't go. I just had to point that out for future readers. You did this thread a favor.

sprouts. That is an underrated sandwich topping. Love them.

I've been trying to lose some weight so the sandwiches I take to work are pretty underwhelming. I generally use one of the 35 calorie breads, and I mostly stick to mesquite turkey breast or low fat turkey bologna, crappy 2% American cheese, and lots of mustard. Now if I were just making a mean sandwich, I would probably go with a sourdough with turkey, ham, salami, pepper jack, roasted red peppers, lettuce, and a spicy brown mustard. I'd be just fine with that, plus maybe a pickle on the side.

Sourdough is the Mickey Mantle of sandwich bread.
or is it the Rickey Henderson?

i refuse to allow this thread to be cast in an exclusively brown bag direction, as one of life's simple pleasures is consuming a local deli's pastrami or corned beef sandwich creation early on an autumn afternoon
