I had a turkey and provolone sandwich with avocado mayo on a sourdough rye bread, and it was quite tasty. The bread was particularly good: sourdough can sometimes have a rock hard crust and be too soft and airy on the inside; this bread had a crust you didn't break your teeth on, yet the inside had some decent texture to it.
