when one orders a sandwich in a US Deli ... you spec ingredients

That's one of my biggest peeves about ``delis'' down here in the South. Here, they don't work like that. They have a list of sandwiches you can order. I always end up getting one of those sandwiches except with a different meat, and with this other ingredient, and without that other one, oh and can you steam it instead of grill it? Thanks. I go out of my way to go to a real deli, but most of them have closed now. I guess Southerners like being told what to eat. (BTW, I've lived all of my 29 years in North Carolina, so don't tell me to ``Go Home, Yankee''.)
