What is on a Montreal Smoked meat sandwich?

 

[Leslie]

nobody knows...

 

[unclehobart]

I can imagine a meat sadwich ... and even smoked meat at that. I was just wondering what made it so 'Montreal'. I've seen Montreal steak seasoning at my local supermarket... but I wonder if its a certain medley of mustard/mayo/veggies that makes it just so.

Moose

 

[unclehobart]

Nah... that would be more of a Saskatchewan thing. Mo-ray-al would probably rely on more tranditional sources of meat ... like beaver.

What ever happened to a good old Racoon BBQ? I haven't been to one of those in years.

 

[unclehobart]

Perhaps a Montreal meat sandwich is a variant on a menage a trios.

Smoked Meat 101

[Professur]

Whaaaaaat?

 

[unclehobart]

Les is like 98% vegitarian.

 

[Professur]

Well, that leaves 2% to enjoy a good smoked meat, doesn't it?

 

[Leslie]

I can't get the mysterymeat preconception out of my head on that...it's like...mock chicken...can't abide the thought of that either

 

[Professur]

It's not mystery meat. It's brisket.

 

[unclehobart]

mystery meat? I read that it was brisket. Brisket... if handled right ... is yummy.

 

[Leslie]

I said preconception, it doesn't have to be logical

 

[unclehobart]

Most of the high end delis are outright kosher. Kosher means a higher standard above and beyond.
