I thought the same but I had to try them at least once, as this biking vlogger I like is obsessed with them......and every few videos is stopping to buy one. Followed by one word..."Delicious!!". Has become like his catchphrase.

Anyway, I'm glad I did....they were surprisingly good.

I think the two main things are they have to be super crunchy, and well seasoned. The technique I found on YouTube to best get them super crunchy is to liberally flour them first, then batter them, then crumb them, then freeze them for an hour or so before deep frying.

Classic Deli sandwich (a Reuben) and pickle. Delis is short for Delicatessen.

Looks good. I knew deli was short for the term 'delicatessen' but in Europe it is somewhere you go to buy high quality specialist stuff - not sandwiches really. The wiki definition (sort of) explains it.

In Europe "delicatessen" means high-quality, expensive foods, and stores. In German-speaking countries a common synonym is Feinkost (fine food), and shops that sell it are called Feinkostläden (delicacy stores). Department stores often have a Delikatessenabteilung (delicacy department). European delicatessens include Fauchon in Paris, Dallmayr in Munich, Julius Meinl am Graben in Vienna, Harrods[12][13] and Fortnum & Mason in London, Peck in Milan, and Jelmoli in Zürich.

In the United States, a delicatessen (or deli) is often a combined grocery store and restaurant, although the term may also be used for a strictly take-out or sit-down restaurant.[citation needed] Delis offer a broader, fresher menu than fast-food chains,[citation needed] rarely employing fryers (except for chicken) and routinely preparing sandwiches to order.

Yes MG, in the US, many delis sell meats and cheeses retail, and also make sandwiches to eat in house, or carry out. Unlike fast food sandwich shops, a good deli slices the meats and cheeses for your sandwich when you place your order. Most also put a lot more meat on a sandwich -- you are not eating mostly bread.

To bring it full circle, a woman at work refers to that as...the pickle. It used to be fairly common to overhear her on the phone telling her girlfriend she was, "hankering for the pickle" because her husband had been out of town or otherwise unavailable. :laugh:
