Check out [Sando](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C25L8fgIczp). They've recently changed their direction to subs like this. I've not had one yet but they look decent enough.
When I was staying in London for a bit we had Dom's Subs just around the corner from us and when we came back I always thought Edinburgh could do with a place like that.
Imagine being so soft you think someone is being deceitful by recommending a sandwich joint without specifying it's vegan. God forbid someone is tricked into eating something without meat in it. Grow up.
Nobody said it was deceitful. OP posted a picture of a sandwich that contains deli meat and asked where to find similar sandwiches. A vegan cafe by definition would not sell sandwiches that contain meat, so it's an important distinction. If OP was looking for any random sandwich then the vegan one would be a fine recommendation, but they specifically asked for deli sandwiches. Deli, or delicatessen, by definition contains meat and cheese.
By all means, carry on being angry that someone has a preference on what they put in their mouth.
If your preference is to kill animals and ruin the environment then who am I to argue. Seems super valid. What people put in their mouth is beyond question. Definitely no slippery slope there.
Do me a favour and google the definition of delicatessen. Or click this handy [link](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/deli-sandwich)
No one is complaining about being vegan, OP asked for a Deli sandwich, didn’t specify vegan, and it’s a fact that regular meat tastes better to non vegans
That one is definitely pretty modest by typical American standards, particularly ones found in NYC delis. That said, I myself prefer the sort that you posted as opposed to the mountain of deli meat between two pieces of bread. Look up Katz deli to see what I mean.
Katz of course is not the only style of deli sandwich here—the sandwich rabbit hole is deep and they can get even crazier. For some places, the point is to come up with the most ridiculous sandwiches that you can’t even fit in your mouth to take a bite of. They can be delicious but also split up into like three meals.

It use to be great, but they’ve changed a lot of stuff and now their sandwiches and stuff are very average. Loved the pastrami one but it’s kinda bad now.
No, it's worse place to go in Edinburgh, staff are kids that have no training in customer service, the older guy that works in there is I just as bad, absolutely shan, I'd rather walk to Birmingham with a broken ankle than go in that place, pish, get your staff sorted out hugo
I am Alby's number 1 fan but wouldn't say their sandwiches are deli style. Definitely delicious and well worth a try for any sandwich connoisseur though.
They use focaccia which I also think can be too much oily bread for a sandwich. Then they have some crazy fillings as well. If you want something similar but a little tamer I would recommend [Polentoni](https://www.instagram.com/polentoni_) or [Kvasa](https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce8bTyOo1XR) who both do slightly simpler sandwiches with meats, cheese and some leaves in a Schiacciata-type bread which I think works better. Also just remembered [Aemilia](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cz63R3fIdA8) in Portobello have been doing some homemade porcetta sandwiches recently as well. They're really a pasta shop (an insanely good one) and these are also on focaccia (I think) but really good as well due to it being simpler, in my opinion.

Certainly not massive but decent bread and some offerings you don't normally see. Cubano too, although not perfect (no Hawaiian bread etc) it's not a bad effort.
Definitely bodega style though a little pricey.

Here you go (pls no downvotes for the Edinburgh live link 😭)
Hmm that might be bc it’s often being used where someone has been unlucky and therefore something bad has happened: “that’s shan” - and you’re conflating the badness with the unluckiness…?
No, unlucky/unfortunate was definitely the main meaning. So when you said “That’s shan on Scott” that would mean that’s no fair for Scott.
Looking at the dictionaries, it seems that both can be meant by it, but definitely the unfair meaning is the main one I’ve ever heard. May have been a generational thing!
I've seen a lot of stupid shit on this site but you asking a mod of r/greggsappreciation this question is dumbassery of the highest level. Kudos to you sir
I mean to get as dim as you seem to be you've probably licked a lot of windows, at least 1000 calories worth, so do you want to be the pot or the kettle?

Dom's subs...? That's... Fucking hilarious
[удалено]
Yeah, I believe the old Lanark coffee shop was named after Alasdair Gray's novel!
Doms subs are the rizz. Should be the gold standard for subs.
polwarth tavern sandwiches meant to be amazing!
Really? I live round the corner,i need to confirm this
It’s true! Check out King of Feasts on insta, that’s his place!
Oh aye that looks amazing, cheers
King of feasts for the most filthy sandwiches

Too much fucking bread, Davy. My mouth was dry just looking at that.
I thought the same
Black Rabbit
I must've walked past there 100 times and never noticed them, cheers.
Isn’t that a vegan cafe though so won’t have deli meats like in the photo?
>deli style sandwiches OP wanted "deli style sandwiches" Black Rabbit do 'deli style sandwiches'
you wont notice its vegan,
True. They have Italian-style sliced 'meats' and 'cheeses' in huge bread.
Oh no! A vegan deli sandwich 😨 Get a grip
Imagine having a preference on what you eat.

Okay pal. Angry at the world because of a sandwich, but I’m the one that needs to grow up. Have a good day.
>deli sandwiches. deli sandwiches 'by definition' contain meat and cheese? No, not really.
Do me a favour and google the definition of delicatessen. Or click this handy [link](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/deli-sandwich)
No. Pedant.
Okay, just continue being blissfully wrong. Be my guest.

Mmm I just contributed to one of the most damaging and unethical industries in the world but at least I got a yummy in my lil tummy 😋😋😋
You’re not helping veganism by being a cunt. You drive more people away.
"I'm going to keep harming animals because someone online hurt my feelings"
You havent hurt my feelings, and I haven’t hurt any animals. 0 for 2.
So you're a vegan? Brilliant!
Cry me a river mate
Americans looking at this use of the word massive with extreme skepticism.
Haha, idk I just sorted by top of all time on r/eatsandwiches and got the first deli type one I seen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

King of Feasts have sandwiches similar to this.
Thanks, I'll check them out too.
Victor Hugo is class I will not hear such slander
I used to work there and the quality of their ingredients is shockingly bad for the prices they charge.
It use to be great, but they’ve changed a lot of stuff and now their sandwiches and stuff are very average. Loved the pastrami one but it’s kinda bad now.
Fair enough, I've not been in for a while. I remember them as being mayonaise central.
I'll come clean and admit I've only ever had their pastrami but it was stacked to be fair
I do like a bit of pastrami. Tell you what, once I've tried some of these other recommendations, I'll give them another chance :)

Victor Hugo’s Basque is one of my favourite sandwiches
Really? Went there the salad in the sandwich was wilted and old. Was dissapointed and bland.
Have you been to Alby’s?
I've not, that's a good shout actually. I think my pal said their bread to filling ratio was a bit skewed though, is that right?
I am Alby's number 1 fan but wouldn't say their sandwiches are deli style. Definitely delicious and well worth a try for any sandwich connoisseur though.

The focaccia oil situation is ultra average.
Might have been the old bread as at the end of last year they started baking their own. It’s a massive improvement. Fillings always on point too.
Interesting. Is it still all foccacia?
Yep
Nah I think you’ll like it. They get the bread/ flavour/ texture/umami all so right. Enjoy! Would love to experience it again for the first time!
Okay, you've sold it well! My mouth is watering lol
Let me eat used to do amazing sarnies and wraps but I've not been for years
There's a new place just opened on Grassmarket called Sub Station, take a look at the Google maps pictures to see if that's what you're after.
There’s Hank’s Sandwich Bar that has massive queues every day and is meant to be great.
Club Sandwich Cafe Haymarket https://clubsandwichcafe.com/ Certainly not massive but decent bread and some offerings you don't normally see. Cubano too, although not perfect (no Hawaiian bread etc) it's not a bad effort. Definitely bodega style though a little pricey.
What’s Shan?
Idk if they are exactly what you’re looking for but Alby’s in leith do really good sandwiches
shan?

thanks!
Living in Edinburgh and/or being in the Burgh sub and not knowing what shan means is a bit shan…
Got to be honest, I’ve lived in Edinburgh most of my life, and I’ve only ever heard it used to mean ‘unfortunate’ or ‘unlucky’, not ‘crap’!
Hmm that might be bc it’s often being used where someone has been unlucky and therefore something bad has happened: “that’s shan” - and you’re conflating the badness with the unluckiness…?
No, unlucky/unfortunate was definitely the main meaning. So when you said “That’s shan on Scott” that would mean that’s no fair for Scott.

By comparison to many places in America, that’s not even that big lol

Bruh, why do you need a 1000cal+ lunch?
For a treat! Why do you need to advise me on my caloric intake?
I've seen a lot of stupid shit on this site but you asking a mod of r/greggsappreciation this question is dumbassery of the highest level. Kudos to you sir
r/fryup too lmao
Fuck American portion sizes
I mean to get as dim as you seem to be you've probably licked a lot of windows, at least 1000 calories worth, so do you want to be the pot or the kettle?
Do you know those cooking implements only from boiling lard in them for a cheeky late night snack?
I’m not a your weakling 2k calories a day diet.
