You may only be able to get sliced turkey, prosciutto, etc. in big cities like Shanghai. But the kind of SPAM-like meat called 午餐肉 is widely available. Secret ingredient: "parts."
Here's a recent article from the New York Times about this ever-popular "food."

好像你所说的三明治也会非常受猫王 （Elvis A. Presley, the King of Rock'n'Roll) 的欢迎。就是还缺了香蕉片和松鼠肉！
他那种巨大的明星，什么离谱的事都做得出来！ 据说他以前会专门做个人飞机到美国colorado州，去某一家餐馆买那种三明治。
poddies 对这种小吃会不会有反感？

Huh? You put 芥末酱 on things besides sandwiches? 因人而异吧 ；－０
Marco Polo is a chain of bakeries. I figured they were nation-wide but I've actually never seen them outside of Shanghai. Just another reason to come visit the Pearl of the Orient!

Your ideal sandwich left out my favorite ingredient－－ 芥末酱 ｊｉｅ４ｍｏ5ｊｉａｎｇ４ mustard!
I've found that Marco Polo's 北欧核桃面包 Walnut bread （10 kuai) is pretty good-- hearty and not sweet. But you have to hack off your own pieces as it's not sliced.

我估计我们poddies的百分之八十以上都有考究癖！ 开玩笑啊。
反正我们都对中文语法有深厚的兴趣。你到我们这边来谈谈词语的准确用法肯定没错！
多谢，

The two mao price is standard for a smallish bag. The bigger bag is 3 mao. Since the stores print their own bags (it's a kind of 户外广告hu4wai4guang3gao4-- outdoor advertising ) the government is not going to get that money.
Hi tvan
I've never seen leather bags here. But some older folks will carry a heavy tote bag when they go grocery shopping.

Be careful with that baijiu! People swear up and down that only the cheap stuff tastes like fragrant gasoline.
But I've tried some very pricey stuff and the feeling was the same. If you're toasting people at a dinner, learn how to skillfully splash most of it out of your glass before drinking ;-)

我估计很多比较现代化的女生接受不了你的这个意见。太封建了吧！
反正每个人都有自己的想法，但如果老公跟她讲很难听的话，很多西方女孩儿就会想办法报复一下，甚至走掉。
