I've just had pastrami for the first time

it's fermented cabbage, pickled in it's own vinegar i think... doesn't really taste of cabbage at all (and is delicious).
 
this is true. you didn't buy it ready sliced from a supermarket did you? it needs to be freshly sliced on the day you get it imo...
 
There's a scene in La Vie En Rose where Edith Piaf tells her boxer beau that he's eating boiled dog meat (pastrami sandwich) which always makes me laugh. She takes him to a proper restaurant for steak tournedos and a Chateau Lafitte 1937.:D
 
there's a decent polish deli in streatham hill, if that isn't too far (on the high road near the streatham fruiterers) which does cracking pastrami. they'll also sell you a nice rye loaf, and the various other ingredients necessary. :cool:

yeah you're right - i forgot about that place; it'll sell a good strong sauerkraut too. Minnie lives less than a mile from there but i bet it's too far

Minnie's shopping mantra seems to be:
"this is just not a store conveniently next to Brixton station; this is an M&S store conveniently next to Brixton station"
 
The true pastrami experience involves fresh slices carved off a steaming whole brisket by a surly, elderly counterman who says, "Wadda you mean 'not too fat'? What are you, on a diet or sumt'ing?"

Says you who can't be arsed to walk up the road to Sturgeon :p
 
Remember, it's just meat. Maybe you like york ham. but say you tried it for the first time today. you'd probably be thinking the same - what is all the fuss about. :)
