    coldmeat store?

    Comment

    Dictionary: coldmeat

    cold meat (Amer.) = kalter Braten

    cold meat [COOK.] = der Aufschnitt pl.: die Aufschnitte

    sausages and cold meat [COOK.] = die Wurstwaren pl.

    coldmeat store [COMM.] = Laden mit Wurst- und Fleischwaren


    AHD doesn't have coldmeat or cold meat, though it has cold cut, of course: https://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=c...

    cold cut n.

    A slice of cold cooked or cured meat: The caterer offered many kinds of cold cuts.


    Neither OALD nor CALD have coldmeat/cold meat, but they do have cold cuts.


    Does anyone say any of these? If I saw "cold meat," I would think of literally that: meat that is cold, probably leftovers (chicken, slices of ham) that you eat cold out of the refrigerator. I would not immediately think of cold cuts (Aufschnitt) or any kind of sausage (cold hot dogs anyone?).

    No; it leaves me as cold as you. We would say 'cold cuts' or 'sandwich meat' if anything.

    And the closed compound is surely just wrong.

    Thanks. I thought I would check first before flagging it as a wrong entry. Sometimes you get surprised by what others say.

    Definition of cold meat

    Thanks, SD3. Strange that LEO has it with an AE tag.


    Should we add additional new entries?

    cold pizza = a form of pizza that has been baked and allowed to become cold

    cold spaghetti = a form of pasta that has been cooked and allowed to become cold

    I should have added:

    I've never heard of a coldmeat (one word, two words, or hyphenated) store, though.

    @no me bré: I know, right? There's something really odd about the entries.

    The AE sounds wrong to me. Cold meat would literally mean meat that's cold in AE. Aufschnitt would be cold cuts.
