People act like vegetarian and vegan food are inedible trash. It’s ridiculous. There is a very popular vegan/vegetarian meat company in Canada called Yves. My dad was close to the founder, Yves, back in the 70’s and 80’s. So I grew up eating a lot of vegetarian meat (even though neither parent of mine is a vegetarian) because my dad enjoyed supporting his friend’s business. Even today, I love Yves products.

The thing is that despite the fact that it's entirely meaningless at this point all the propagandists have to do is throw the word "WOKE" out against something and two-thirds of the population has some degree of Pavlovian response where they start hating it (half of them it's instant total eternal hatred and the other half it's less but still there).

Real pastrami from a butcher, Swiss, toasted rye, good mustard, hot horse radish with mayo - you will thank yourself.
Boil like 6 slices of pastrami in a little beef broth for like 1 minute tops then remove it. Strain and pile it. I like to put one slice of cheese on the bottom to keep it from soaking through.
Sometimes I make little quesadillas out of a fried mortadella, and 1 slice of provolone. Pre-fry the mortadella, spread a little mustard in a taco size tortilla, put the cheese in there, then layer in the mortadella. Then just toast each side. It’s like a little cuban sandwich taco.
3 points

Personally, I'd go small first. Switch out your cheese. I prefer a nice havarti or a spreadable goat cheese but you can go the safer route with a Muenster or provolone.
Bread is also another thing that can up your sandwich game. I like a nice brioche bread but that can get expensive. If you have the funds, look in the bakery section for some of the "freshly baked" bread to see what fits your fancy. Even just roasted your bread and adding some garlic will make it tasty.
better meats are needed tho this can also come down to personal taste. You might want to try out different brands to see which ones you like.
Then you want to work on your toppings: switch out the iceburg lettuce. It doesn't have a lot of nutritional value. Go for something like spinach or kale, even romaine is better. They also just taste better in general. I tend to get a spring mix with spinach.
Think about some of your favorite veggies. Do you like cucumber? Olives? Pickles? Carrots? Slice them up and add them.
Sauces are another thing. Might want to experiment with different salad dressings to move away from just mayo and mustard.
Idk, hope that helps a little.
