When I was a kid, my family would buy those individual Carl Buddig meat packets. I'm not sure why, we weren't poor, but they were very cheap, like 39 cents for a 3 oz package or something like that. (the pics below say 2 ounces, but I think they have shrunk in size) My father would make sandwiches with them to take to work and I would make sandwiches with them from time to time as well. I haven't had them in many years, but I remember them well. Below are my rankings. Please feel free to discuss and post your own rankings!

#1

I remember this being legitimately good

#2

Also legitimately good

#3

Not bad, but not very "beefy"

#4

Pretty plain jane, not offensive

#5

Kind of gross and weird, not good

#6

Very gross and weird, definitely do not recommend

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.



Op, why do you keep making threads?

Specifically, why do you keep making vapid, uninspired threads, at an inane pace, over insipid, pedestrian (or worse) topics?

Buddig lunch meat is pretty low tier, but passable.

If I think I'm gonna need a sandwich or two for lunch in the next few days, I get the pastrami or the beef. If you add cheese, pickles, lettuce, and condiments you can get two decent sandwiches out of a 2 oz package. And you avoid slimy leftover lunch meat that you'd have to deal with later.

I only have canyoneyes for you
OP nailed it. Pastrami and corned beef are the only two ones worth eating.

You gotta have good technique to unfold the meat to get good sandwich coverage so it's not just bread bread bread LUMP OF MEAT bread bread bread

Never did go wrong with ol' Carl in the past. Now i'm gonna get me some Bud-strami and make me some fair lunch meat sandwiches for lunch this week. Thanks OP! :banjo:

I salute the OP, for Buddig is true Americana, the K-Mart strip mall kind that reflects the actual truth of the nation, rather than that wheat field and barn or American flag on small town Main Street bullshit.

This poo poo is loving awful. Then again, living with a roommate outside of Seattle with a $1,100 rent.....

All of them looked and tasted like they were stolen out of a prepper's bunker that was stocked 3 years ago.

We still stopped buying it. Beer has plenty of life giving calories.


edit: I think I switched to those Land o' Frost 1lb packages. Slightly higher quality, just a little more money, and slightly less depressing.

I actually like land of frost, however the turkey does not taste like turkey and the ham does not taste like ham. Neither taste like a meat I have tasted otherwise, the closest thing maybe being off brand gefilte fish.
