The answer is always 1 or 2. Not all meats can be sliced at 1 without being shredded, so 2 is the safe bet. You can also just say “as thin as it’ll slice without falling apart” and they’ll be liked “ok, so a 2”
That guy was either very new or a jerk. A 5 is a very thick slice on most slicers. If someone said 5 I would ask if they wanted a slab just to be sure.
Yeah, that guy sucked. I have no fucking clue what the settings are on the deli slicer, and I’ve never had a deli person not just slice a bit and let me see if that’s what I wanted.
Fry that fucker up till it’s nice and golden, add some HP curry sauce and crack open a beer. Almost like Leberkäse…
Heaven. Will take all anxiety away.
Oh my God, you just brought up Leberkase and I’m SO upset that Americans dont have this delight everywhere.
I learned it as Fleischkase (sp?) when I was fortunate enough to spend a few months in Germany for work, but I was told that theyre pretty much the same.
Ugh, mustard and a toasted bun is how I ate it. So fucking good. And I’ve been crying about missing it ever since.
OMG yes! Harry Potter makes the best curry sauce!
It’s magically delicious!
That’s… That’s a different thing…
In Newfoundland we do fried bologna with rhubarb pickles/rhubarb relish on top. Best way to do it imo
I see what inspires these “men used to go to war and now…” posts, lol.
I mean, this shit never happened. Keeping that in mind, cringe is at an all time high. People are forgetting how to act.
This happened to me at a haircut place. They asked for a number and i didnt know what it meant so i said a random number (I think I said 1) and my haircut was way too short but i pretended to like it lmaoooo. This was in like 2014.
Normally people would say nice haircut out of politeness at least but this was the one haircut in my life where someone asked me what happened to my hair.
I believe hair clipper numbering is done by 1/8 of an inch. So like a 4 is 1/2"
can I get uhh 48
I mean a 1 is very small.
Not uncommon for men to come in and just say the clipper number. Honestly though I have no idea how I learned 2 was the length on the side I wanted. Probably it was this exact scenario I just guessed right.
This absolutely has happened. Literally happened with a friend of mine when hiking. They didn’t understand the scale and we ended up with 1/2 inch thick cuts of turkey for our sandwiches.
this is one of those “never happened” but also the sort of things that happened to people all throughout history.
And infact still does happen, as we still have deli slicers.
and also deli slicers slices
I’ve personally worked at multiple deli counters. By all accounts I was incredibly bad at it. The first time, on my first day I sliced the tip of my right thumb off down to the nub and shot arterial blood all through the display and got fired immediately. So I flatter myself that I am something of an authority on bad deli counter skills. And I tell you, this shit never happened.
Ok…? And I have personally visited multiple deli counters, in New York, so I flatter myself that I know what an actual real deli looks like, and how they operate. And I can tell you as something of an authority, that it absolutely may have happened, or maybe it did not happen.
Does someone pay you to be boring? They should.
That sounds more like whoever was responsible for training you was incredibly bad at it.
I mean, how likely was it to happen in the only day you worked there?
Hopefully that deli boy learns to count soon. Shame.
