Questions about a deli menu
Should I list how much meat is in a sandwich?
If your sandwiches are known for their size, yes, like "half a pound of pastrami". If not, leave it out.
Can guests choose their bread?
If they can, say so once in the section note instead of on every sandwich.
Can I call my deli kosher?
Only with kosher certification. Otherwise, describe the food and leave the word off.
