What does DEVON mean in Scrabble?
noun
AustralianNew Zealandinformal
A processed cold meat made from seasoned minced pork or other meats pressed into a sliced loaf, similar to bologna or luncheon meat.
Devon is an everyday cold cut sold sliced for sandwiches in Australia and New Zealand, and despite the capital-letter look of the name it functions as an ordinary common noun rather than a reference to the English county it was likely named after. Regional names for the same kind of meat include fritz and polony, and which term is used often depends on the state or town. It is a staple of school lunches and takeaway sandwich counters rather than a fine delicatessen item.
