Pastrami

[repoman]

Is pretty good if you ask me

[xrleroyx]

The most sensual of all the cured meats

[Chankgeez]

When I ate such things, I used to prefer the corned beef.

Hit you the fuck up.

I stopped eating meat in 1998 and the only thing I miss is pastrami.

As a Quebecer I went to Katz's Delicatessen on the Lower East Side full of smug Canadian incredulity.

Essentially, I was thinking, "No fucking way, that this place can even touch Schwartz's."

With my sandwich, I ate my words; for it was as much sliced Heaven, as it was sliced meat.

I would go back to NYC literally just to get a Reuben and a matzo ball soup again.

(Apologies to Celine Dion, also condolences.)

I just had a Pastrami sandwich this afternoon. On Dark Rye. Smoked Cheddar. Everything. Extra Mayo. And side of Potato Salad.

I was taught by my Dad that a pastrami sandwich means dark rye bread, hot mustard, sauerkraut, pastrami and nothing else. This is a poor Jewish sandwich.
A Rueben had corned beef and swiss and russian dressing, and was a separate thing entirely.

Yeah Rueben isn't Kosher
(good just not Kosher)

That pastrami looks so friggen good

hoping this thread picks up with more pics of cured meats

All I can think is, "Where's the fuckin' rye?"




aside:
Whoever came up with the name "corned beef" should be shot. They kept me from eating it most of my life. These days, I like to worship it.

Sometimes I think about other lunch meats. I mostly think about pastrami though.

This place in the Caribbean makes their own pastrami in house over the course of a week. It's like eating gods foreskin. Served with its own jus.
