Known for adding a tasty bite to deli sandwiches, Black Forest ham is a type of smoked meat that's dry-cured in salt.
That said, this sandwich tasted nearly identical to the bacon one. I even had to double-check the inside to make sure I ordered the correct meal.
But after pulling the meat out and sampling it individually, it became clear the Black Forest ham had a sweet nuance that I found much more palatable. Plus its texture was wonderful — slightly chewy with nice, crispy edges.
The meat was still undeniably salty but was the most tolerable.
Combined with the melted cheese, it formed a nice blend of mildly tangy, slightly sweet, and smoky flavors that was surprisingly tasty. The addition of a sauce, like mustard, would likely improve it, but it was still surprisingly decent as is.
VERDICT: I wasn't blown away by the Black Forest-ham sandwich, but it was definitely the best of all the options I tried. It's the only one I could see myself ordering again.
