You want manky water, try Bakersfield, CA. I stayed in a hotel there and the water smelled of oil with a high sulphur content. At least in Beatty Nevada, it's just the sulphur from the volcanic strata.
I give up on Deli meat

In coastal Ga. you just learn to buy gallon jugs or small bottles of water. Know some folks that bought $2K filter systems.
Where do you get your Saugys.[emoji1]Since moving to GA, I have yet to find a good deli in any market or as a sole proprietorship. Everybody sells Boars Head, and depending on where that is sourced, that may be of poor quality, as well as being overpriced.
The store brands that I have encountered are terrible. I recently got some store brand slicing pepperoni that tasted like it had been injected with dish detergent. Just got my refund from Boar's Head for terrible black forest ham.
So, I guess I am headed to peanut butter and jelly along with home made chicken salad.
I have one other thing I want to try. There are beautiful small hams in the meat dept for say 4.50 a pound. They have a good shelf life. I may thin slice my own. It is potentially much better than paying 12.00 a pound for Boar's Head
I guess the Northeast has spoiled me. Oh, and the water is terrible.

You'll give up your silly Yankee deli meat once you've tried livermush.
I looked that delicacy up. Man does that sound NASTY

Dave's Market in 7 days when I get back there for the summer.
Life without Saugy's is almost unbearable.

Dietz & Watson lunch meat is my choice, a Philly staple since 1939. As the jingle says “The only thing as good as Dietz & Watson is Watson & Dietz”. They don’t make Lebanon Bologna however, so for that I rely on Seltzers.
When we moved out to the edge of Lancaster County 40+ years ago the lunch meat options were horrible compared to what you could find in any corner store in Philly. Nobody out here could figure out how to slice it correctly either. Lunch meat should be THINLY sliced, not a quarter inch thick. I won’t even go in to the bland stuff they passed off as a roll.
Lunch meat may not be the healthiest thing to eat, but you only live once. A life without lunch meat is no life at all.

Frey Olive loaf. .99 for four slices-makes for two nice sammiches. Mayo-Frenches yellow mustard and some lays potato chips (the old fashion greasy thin ones in the yellow bag) smashed on top.
Good and good for ya! Gotta use white bread.

Years ago when I was in military school one of the guys in my company was Jewish and from Chicago. His parents would send him a 10 lb salami. He would sell most of it to me for a couple bucks. I have been looking for salami as good as that for many years but never found its equal. Of course I haven’t found a kosher jewish deli.
How about SPAM ? I here it’s great after a night of drinking
Or during.
I guess I am spoiled here in the midwest... lots of small town meat lockers & grocery stores that make their own deli meats... I head to Iowa for dried beef & braunsweiger... summer sausage & thuringer in Nebraska... ham & bologna on either side of the Missouri River... smoked brats, polish & bacon too... ya, kinda spoiled here...

Fried with over-medium eggs and grits! Yummm.
Lebanon, PA isn't too awful far from here. On New Year's Eve they drop a baloney at midnight.
I put in a whole house carbon filter system for like $1800. That didn't take care of the calcium deposits so we added a softener. Water is pretty good after that. Still doesnt compare to Western PA water .

As a lifelong southerner, 70 years and counting, it always amazes me that folks move down here then trash talk the south. We like it and seldom find anyone moving north. We just drink the water, eat our simple tasty food, gripe about the humidity and enjoy the relative lack of the white crud all winter.
Just learn to appreciate the experience.
Oh just get a stick of bologna LOL

Make up a big meatloaf.
Refrigerate the leftover loaf.
Slice down for sandwiches.
The best cold sandwich there is!

I knew this post was coming. It always does.
I've been getting into capicola ham. It is originally Italian and similar to prosciutto, but it also kinda reminds me of Virginia country ham. Need to slice it very thin It is pretty salty.
Only thing I don't like about it is that it is $18 a pound at my local supermarket.
