big up yourselves for trying the prosciutto. glad you guys tried it. it is an appetizer type thing, to be eaten with crackers or cheese or added into something kind of like bacon would be added to a dish for flavor. as much as I want to like it (i love thinly sliced ham) i prefer regular ham to prosciutto. Oddly enough, sandwiches are my fave food so i really enjoyed this video. you two are a beautiful couple

Field roast is better ingredients, tofurky is just a tofu which is soy but if you are into that thing, you would like that one

Tofurky is my favorite (haven’t tried that new brand you just tried, but I don’t suspect it’ll change). Field Roast is good for what it is & I don’t mind adding it to a sub with Tofurky slices. Loath the others. Highly recommend a sub with ALL of the Tofurky slices, Violife’s Epic Mature Cheddar (the block), shredded lettuce, tomato, red onion, banana peppers, pickled jalapeños, Just Mayo, & hot pepper jelly. Chef’s kiss! 👌

Yves makes a salami that is SO good. When I was a kid, my friend's Dad used to take slices of salami and spread cream cheese on it as a snack for us. Then years ago when I started eating the Yves products and found the salami (I think they are the only mass producer who makes salami), I immediately veganized this childhood favorite and it's been a mainstay for me, and any charcuterie board or picnic basket I have made since then. TRY IT! Yves salami spread with vegan cream cheese and rolled up. SO YUM!

Prosciutto is Italian un-smoked ham. I have never seen anyone eat it on it's own unless they are obsessed with it. Basically it's supposed to add a slightly sweet and salty flavor and can be used on a cheese board, pizza, and wrapped around asparagus. (Disclaimer: I never liked pork products especially ham. I didn't enjoy this as a meat product. I doubt that I would like the vegan version.) Great video. 😊

What a time to be alive, when we can say things like, "Our personal butcher . . . " as vegans! I find plant-based lunch meat challenging, because, like yogurt, it's more hit and miss than beef and poultry analogues. I remember trying the Kroger Simple Truth plant-based turkey slices and Black Forest Ham slices, and the turkey I had to throw out because it was _fishy tasting_ but the first bite of the ham made my brain go, "Oh! Black Forest Ham! I forgot about you!" Can you imagine if Gardein tried doing lunch meat? Thanks for the analysis and recommendations!

Fun fact: "Corned beef" doesn't actually contain corn. "Corning" is a style of preserving or curing the beef, similar to when meat is salted to preserve it like salami and other cured meats. It's just cured with large granules of rock salt that are referred to as "corns". Corned beef is traditionally served in a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing. I guess it's not as popular in NJ but I always visit Deli's in NY that serve it. I'll look out for the Unreal Deli version now, thanks!
