This year, I am planning to get Mrs. Buffet a new ironing board cover and a case of spray starch for a Valentine's Day present IF - and I should mention that while I am benevolent with gift giving, I DO like to tie them to some aspect of self improvement on her part - she can successfully name all the lunchmeats. Last year, she left out "Thuringer" and did not get the mop she had her heart set on. Since then, she has been practicing diligently and making field trips to grocery stores. I have not wanted to be unreasonable by asking her to list anything in paste or semisolid form, such as potted meat, but rather, I am keeping this restricted to loaf style meats or link style greater than 2" in diameter, and she has no restrictions on natural vs. artificial casings. Tell me, have I left anything off of this years' list? ********************* German Salami Coarse German Salami Beef Salami Thuringer Spicy Hungarian Salami Venison Salami Salami Head Cheese Blood & Tongue Sausage Thuringer Rotwurst Jagdwurst Beerwurst Veal Loaf-Leberkase Pastrami Hildescheimmer Liver Sausage Corned Beef Leona Bologna Schinkenwurst Ham Yachtwurst Jellied Sulze Roast Beef Mortadella Pepperloaf Bologna Garden Bologna Vienna Bologna Cajun Bratwurst Onion Bratwurst Mettwurst Kishka Tongue Blood Loaf Berliner Bologna Strassurger Liver loaf Turkey Schinkenwurst Smoked Turkey Breast Westphalian Ham Nuss Schinken Lachsschinken Rauchleisch Kalbsliverwurst Gelbwurst Liverwurst Braunschweiger Luncheon Meat Jelly Tongue Krakauer Kuemmelwurst Peppered Loaf Souse Johnsonville Brat Canadian Bacon Dried Beef Garlic Bologna Ham & Cheese Hard Salami Honey Loaf Old Fashion Loaf Olive Loaf P&P Loaf Pickle Loaf Pickled Bologna Ring Bologna Sliced Beef BBQ Loaf Blood and Tongue Pressed Tongue Liver Mush Liver Pudding Scrapple Turkey Pastrami Cotto Salami Combination Loaf SPAM Treet Honey BBQ Ham Thu Feb 02 16:07:37 -0800 2006 0 Jimmy Buffet 1 1681142 As far as I can tell, the list looks pretty good- I would add 1 sausage: the German Lantjaegger In most regions they're very small in diameter (1/2") but in my neighborhood, I am fortunate enough to have 2 different grinders who make them larger (at about the 2" minimum you suggested). YOU seem to know your sausages, but to those playing at home, Lantjaeggers are a coarse smoked garlic sausage which is then air dried. They are most often found in linked pairs. Really, they're more of a snacking sausage than a deli style, but heavens they're tasty and expeditious! Why no Italian salumeti? Genoa? Sopresetta? Pepperoni? Hungarian Garlic sausage? These are a few (more) of my favorite things! Thu Feb 02 16:38:30 -0800 2006 1681129 0 jdherbert 2 1681147 uummm. I don't much like sausage in general, but I LOVE those chewy little lanjaeggers. My Wisconsin born husband introduced me to them. Not sure where he was getting them sent from WIS, but I have discovered that Dean and Deluca in both NY and Charlotte have some that are delish. Thu Feb 02 17:26:27 -0800 2006 1681142 0 danna 3 1681175 OK, we have been to Charlotte but NOT to D&D, as I don't want her to get too many high minded ideas, but if the Lanjaegers fall below the diameter requirement, it probably wouldn't be fair to add them. However, our anniversary and her birthday are coming up. She has appropriate memory competencies for those dates as well.

We live in South Carolina. If I mentioned German Lantjaeger to folks around here, they'd think it was some kind of a prissy dog. I mean, I want to be FAIR to my wife... .. no...wait a minute, she was raised in Pennsylvania. She MIGHT be expected to know this. OK, I'll add it to the list and give her a silicone ironing board pad if she guesses it. But as for Italian salumeti, genoa, sopresetta, pepperoni, hungarian garlic sausage... OK, I'm adding those.... Thu Feb 02 20:56:52 -0800 2006 1681142 0 Jimmy Buffet 3 1681232 Nothing says Valentine's Day like a gift of silicone for the ladies! How about Lebanon Bologna? Fri Feb 03 16:18:06 -0800 2006 1681173 0 SuzyInChains 1 1681149 An ironing board and a case of spray starch - what thoughtful gifts. And such an extensive list of tasty treats! You should add *kabanos," a dried polish sausage that works wonderfully as a snack with beer. It's the model for Slim Jims and a whole lot better tasting.

Hey, maybe I'll ask for a case of this sausage from her for my Valentine's Day "President" Thu Feb 02 20:58:51 -0800 2006 1681149 0 Jimmy Buffet 3 1681181 I believe the fresh version is called kabanosky. Thu Feb 02 23:24:21 -0800 2006 1681174 0 bryan 4 1681182 "I believe the fresh version is called kabanosky." Actually, it's sometimes listed as "kabanosi" in Polish meat markets and sometimes as "kabanos." Google lists only 3 hits for "kabanoski sausage" and prompts for "kabanos" instead. You're right about there being a fresh and a dried version. Both are worth trying but I like the dried version a bit better. Thu Feb 02 23:49:45 -0800 2006 1681181 0 Bob Martinez 5 1681183 kabonosi is the plural I believe Fri Feb 03 01:11:38 -0800 2006 1681182 0 wally 6 1681224 Thank you all for your suggestions. Keep them coming, as last night, I saw my wife standing at the coldcut counter at our local supermarket counting on her fingers. NOTE: THIS IS A JOKE. THIS IS HUMOR. THIS JOKE OR HUMOR MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR ALL PEOPLE. Fri Feb 03 15:02:41 -0800 2006 1681183 0 Jimmy Buffet 1 1681156 What a sweet idea to get your wife a president for Valentines! I would think Bill Clinton would be the most fun, but maybe she'd prefer Jimmy Carter. French ham, prosciutto, serrano. Thu Feb 02 18:56:43 -0800 2006 1681129 0 semmel 1 1681163 Great list! Mrs. Buffet is indeed a lucky woman. Looks like you left out plockwurst, a bear-shaped sausage made from beef and bear meat.

That may be eaten for lunch but it ain't lunch meat. Fri Feb 03 11:20:07 -0800 2006 1681194 0 Bob W. 1 1681207 I'm sorry, but is this a joke? You make your wife rattle off a list of various lunchmeats otherwise you won't get her a present of an ironing board and spray starch!?! What if she made you rattle off a list of every type of high heel available before she got into bed with you? Presents are presents not something to hold hostage for self-improvement. (Perhaps things are different in the red states?) If I misread this and you've asked your wife for a basket of lunchmeat, that is a brilliant idea. Fri Feb 03 12:41:22 -0800 2006 1681129 0 Jonathan Saw 2 1681218 "I'm sorry, but is this a joke?" Yes, it is. Not all jokes are funny to all people. Why not sit back, relax, and add to the list of sausages and cold cuts? Fri Feb 03 14:23:37 -0800 2006 1681207 0 Bob Martinez 3 1681222 >> Not all jokes are funny to all people. I should add that this one is very funny to my wife, and is a standing one that we have had for several years now. Fri Feb 03 15:00:47 -0800 2006 1681218 0 Jimmy Buffet 3 1681254 I can see where someone could misunderstand. I went to a hardware store with a buddy. He saw a webster, the gadget that cleans up cob webs, and thought it would be a great Christmas gift for his sweetie as she has been wanting one. I told him I thought it was a poor idea and that if he bought it for her he'd most likely be wearing it. Fri Feb 03 22:04:38 -0800 2006 1681218 0 Tracy L. 2 1681221 I'm sorry Jonathon, that life is so serious for you. Yes, it is a joke.

Someone suggested that I subdivide SPAM into Lo-Sodium SPAM, Bar-B-Q Spam, SPAM with Hot Sauce but I think I'll just let "SPAM" suffice. I mean, I want to be fair. Another emailer suggested adding "Bully Beef" but I think the last time it was made was around the time of the Scott expedition to the South Pole... ************ German Salami Coarse German Salami Beef Salami Thuringer Spicy Hungarian Salami Venison Salami Salami Head Cheese Blood & Tongue Sausage Thuringer Rotwurst Jagdwurst Beerwurst Veal Loaf-Leberkase Pastrami Hildescheimmer Liver Sausage Corned Beef Leona Bologna Schinkenwurst Ham Yachtwurst Jellied Sulze Roast Beef Mortadella Pepperloaf Bologna Garden Bologna Vienna Bologna Cajun Bratwurst Onion Bratwurst Mettwurst Kishka Tongue Blood Loaf Berliner Bologna Strassurger Liver loaf Turkey Schinkenwurst Smoked Turkey Breast Westphalian Ham Nuss Schinken Lachsschinken Rauchleisch Kalbsliverwurst Gelbwurst Liverwurst Braunschweiger Luncheon Meat Jelly Tongue Krakauer Kuemmelwurst Peppered Loaf Souse Johnsonville Brat Canadian Bacon Plockwurst Dried Beef Garlic Bologna Hog's Head Cheese Ham & Cheese Saucisse de pomme de terre Grumbeerewurscht Saucisse de Strasbourg Saucisse de Montbéliard Saucisse de Morteau Saucisson pistaché Pormoniers Sabodet Hard Salami Honey Loaf Serrano French Ham Taylor Pork Roll Trenton Roll Old Fashion Loaf Olive Loaf P&P Loaf Pickle Loaf Pickled Bologna Ring Bologna Sliced Beef BBQ Loaf Blood and Tongue Pressed Tongue Liver Mush Liver Pudding Scrapple Turkey SPAM Turkey Pastrami Cotto Salami Combination Loaf SPAM Treet Honey BBQ Ham Kabanos/Kabanosky (I will give her credit for either) Fri Feb 03 15:21:20 -0800 2006 1681129 0 Jimmy Buffet 2 1681239 Having lived in SC most of my life and not knowing what the hell you are talking about. But am fortunate to have had parentage from Va. and Eastern PA. I was awefully thankful when Suzy in Chains finally mentioned Lebanon Bologna which is one of my favs.It is 100% smoked beef with a vinegar and spice flavor the bubbas should like it. There is also sweet Lebanon Bologna which is not a favorite. It has only been recently that you could get LB in deli cases here in SC. We would have to wait until some one was heading north to get our LB and Scrapple. One of the best breakfasts is eggs, grits and scrapple. I call the old Blue and Gray. And JIMMY where is the HOT DOG. Who does man turn to when woman chews him out. Course I know you treat Mrs. Buffet so well that it never happens to you.

Falls below the specified diameter Fri Feb 03 21:09:51 -0800 2006 1681239 0 Jimmy Buffet 4 1681268 >>Falls below the specified diameter Had a friend who use to get all beef hot dogs from Sam's Club don't remember the brand name but they were larger than the 1/4 lb. hotdogs you get at the Hess gas stations and he would call them training aids. Can't image for what? Well maybe I do. When I was getting my Commerical Drivers License the instructor suggested I sit on a John with a broom stick and learn the shift pattern for the tractor trailer. The broomstick was entirely to long so I bet one of those training aids would have been perfect. Sat Feb 04 13:49:57 -0800 2006 1681251 0 1 wiener hound 2 1681246 Can I add?
