I liked one of the poster's idea about letting people make their own
sandwiches, although pre-made would look nicer, IMO. That plan would
also stop people from making mile-high sandwiches and having other
folks who get nothing.

* Your turkey sounds good. If I were eating it, though, I wouldn't be
interested in the cranberries.
* I'd put brown mustard (like Gulden's) on the ham and omit the
cranberry sauce.
* Roast beef would be great with horseradish, but that should probably
be set alongside. Not everyone likes horseradish. I don't think I'd
use mustard on roast beef.
* Salmon sounds good.

Corned beef with swiss cheese and a little mustard?

Have you considered making at least one form of vegetarian filling? I
can't think of any, but we have a few veggies here who will think of
something, I'm sure.

Please let us know what you decide to do, and how it goes over at the
office!
