Meat slicer any one? Now £65.99, Save £3!

[GoodbyeHouse]

I have just been browsing Amazon's kitchen range and for the grand total of £66 (and a saving of £3!) I can have a meat slicer. I can't ever recall meat being cooked at home for cold cuts but there must be a market for it otherwise surely it wouldn't sell. I appreciate you can cut other things with it but honestly I can't ever imagine it being used and it will simply take up space (waffle maker I'm thinking about you!).

I'm bored, tired and it's Friday night. Does any one need a meat slicer?

I was given a cheap one and it's quite handy! Good for slicing bread and gammon at Christmas. I think you can use them for veg as well.

I have absolutely no idea what this means. I just copied from the app on Amazon. I'm definitely not a meat slicer sales rep. I do need a second job, however, maybe this could be my calling?!

We used to have a manual one when I was a child. It was probably a standard 1970s wedding present.

The Sunday joint would also double up as meat for the next few days (believe it or not making a chicken last more than one meal is not a Mumsnet invention) and people would use them to slice the meat so it would go further or be in thin slices for sandwiches.
