Yummy!!!! Haven’t had a good pastrami sandwich in years.....
Guess I can’t get a barbequed pork sammich there.....
That's what happens when you're all glitter and no guts.
That sure is an example of fusion cuisine.
Cut off most of the fat on both Corned Beef and Pastrami. Won’t really matter if they are brin-cooked properly. Cholesteral count through the ceiling but who’s counting.
Rye bread. Fresh, with seeds. Old world style, not the crap that poses as rye bread (Manischewitz, passable; Arnolds - passable thru the bowels; H&S out of Baltimore, pretty good. Otterman’s in DC, if they still make it - outstanding.)
Had an imported NY rye at Giant and it was too thick, too dry and lacked the “rye” taste. Otherwise it was edible.
Be glad the meats are a deckle cut, not a schmekel cut (inside joke).
Real corned beef in Baltimore, Weiss’ Delicatessan at Lombard and Aisquith Streets. Attman’s okay but nothing like it used to be when old man Attman and his son Seymour (even with the toupe’ and ear job), ran the place down the street.
In the old days in Baltimore, 1950’s/60’s, there was Attman’s and Atlantic Import (fresh corned beef, brisket, smoked White Fish, Revelation, rye bread from Silbers - down a few buildings; Horseradish that could take the paint off your car from Tulkoff’s, right across the street; fresh Kosher chickens next to Tulkoff’s,etc.
European Kosher hot dogs and hamburgers down the street on E. Baltimore St. (Rabbi Friedman was the mashgiach, an escapee from Nazi-occupied Hungary - he spoke 4-5 languages, got forged military papers for travel (he was in the Hungarian Army Reserve) and crossed Europe with a friend to freedom. He officiated at my son’s bris).
That was my childhood “hood” since our family store was a small block away on E. Baltimore Street.
Today, you usually get “dreck” posing as Kosher style.
For Gefilte fish, homemade was the only way to go though Rokeach’s Sweet 3 fish (Carp, White Fish, Pike, with carrots) is the best in a jar.
Matzah - Manischewitz. The others make good Frisbees and housing shingles.
