People come to Country Cupboard of Barnwell for many reasons, foremost among them to buy a sandwich. Available ingredients extend beyond ordinary deli cold cuts. Customers can choose from eight kinds of ham, four kinds of turkey, five different beefs, and countless cheeses including four Swiss (aged, baby, smoked, and regular). Lebanon bologna, a faintly smoky and barely fermented beef sausage from Pennsylvania Dutch country, always is on hand.
Sandwiches are made to order, starting with a customer’s choice of bread. Options are white or wheat, marble rye, sub roll, wrap, or croissant. They’re all softies; nothing is crusty. White slices, baked on premises, are lightweights, their flavor indiscernible.
