So, now...I see that I need to go to Walmart and look in the cold cut section for something specifically called luncheon loaf...is this correct?

Yes. Luncheon loaf (here) is the one that's like meat with meat in it, rather than cheese, or olive or pimento. Sorta like thin-sliced SPAM with a little more tug to it.

This is what I have always taken it to mean as well.

Thank you all for your responses.

What you put on your Bunny Bread when you go fishing, or ya daddy ate it with a cold Dixie. What's not nice enough for finger sandwiches at a baby shower. You know, lunchmeat.

Yes, Hungryone hit the nail on the head. Someone in the KC area told me it was called Dutch loaf or Homestyle Loaf here. So I went to the deli and asked for these items. They had Homestyle loaf and the look was similar it did not taste the same.

Just something about a luncheon meat sandwich on Bunny with Blue Plate mayo! Man, that's good eatin!

We moved to New Orleans in September of 2007 from Kansas City, Missouri. Enjoy KC..it's a great city!

I'm trying but I can't stand the cold weather! People here are very nice but there is no place like home. I will admit the fall season is very beautiful and nothing I had ever seen before.

I moved to Kansas City from Kentucky..the only problem I had with KC was the bitter cold weather. My first winter there..I think I slept in sweats and socks every night. I did get a few curious looks when I talked..and had to repeat myself more than once. After a while, I just decided that midwesterners can't help it if they talk funny;)

I do miss Jack Stack Barbecue and good mexican food though. There is a lot of KC that I miss....but New Orleans feels like home now. We love this city!

Well New Orleans needs good people so I'm glad you made it your home.

I'm no fan of barbecue or Mexican food so I struggle with the food choices. But the new Power & Light district is very nice and serving the city well.

In the meantime, I'm dreaming of a nice Spring day...

ok, let's see...thinking of another place for you to try. Try Stroud's..they have some of the best fried chicken you'll find anywhere! Their new place is at 4200 Shawnee Mission Parkway.

Then..this summer..go to Winstead's. They're all over the city..and get a cherry limeade. You'll learn to love KC. I was apprehensive at first. I had moved to KC from a small town of 2500 people..BIG adjustment for this small town girl. But, I really did learn to love Kansas City.

Oh, and if you like blues...check out Grand Emporium or Knuckleheads. They always have some great shows. Marcia Ball plays at Knuckleheads a couple of times a year.

Wait...... wait.....

No, not LuncheonMeat legs: LUNCH-meat legs. Nobody really pronounces the "eon" portion of the word.
