Being Blayne, he also spelled "laze about" wrong.

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
Deli is spelled with one "l," not two.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
As in Delicious, Delicacy, Delightful, and, um, Delicatessen.
Posted by airmanfour (Member # 6111) on :

Congrats on being gainfully employed, and syn is right about free meat being sweet.

Congratulations, Blayne! Hope you like working there.

I'll take a hot pastrami on rye with swiss and a little mustard.
Oh...yum...
You have my dream job.
When you go to NYC, visit Zabars. You can talk turkey with them.

Of course, you could just bring in Cajun cooking for lunch (shellfish and pork, mmmmm).

I remember my sister making a corned beef sandwich on Wonder Bread, with mayonnaise. My father just stared at her, and announced that her father must have been the mailman.

im assuming you and Tante are refering to Pork being against your religion??? I'm just making a wild geuss of what your talking about.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Oh dear.
We are laughing at Bob because in the Kosher tradition, it is forbidden to eat meat and milk foods together. So it would be a faux pas to ask for a pastrami with Swiss.
Oh, you'll learn! Have a great summer.
And, oh yeah, the chopped liver is supposed to look like that.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
hmm liver *drool*
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Please, don't drool on the liver. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Or do, so none of the rest of us have to eat it!
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
now now you dont have to it if you dont want to, especially the liver i work so hard to prepare *sniff* Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Good. *promptly ignores liver*
(Guilt trips do not work on me! Haha! Okay, at least not coming from teenage boys.)
Posted by Shmuel (Member # 7586) on :
Well, Tante's talking about the milk'n'meat thing; StarLisa's added another issue. There's nothing unkosher about corned beef and mayo on sandwich bread from a strict religious standpoint; it's just Bad and Wrong and makes me shudder. Corned beef is meant to be served on rye. A club roll is an acceptable, if lesser, alternative. No mayo. Mustard would be more canonical, with a pickle on the side, though I prefer to skip those. The meat is to be stacked high. Cut in half, serve with seltzer, and enjoy.
Posted by starLisa (Member # 8384) on :
Shmuel, a kaiser roll (bulky roll) is as good as rye bread. My favorite deli sandwich is roast beef and tongue on a kaiser with brown mustard. Served hot, but not too hot. And I'll take a Coke over seltzer any day. Pickles aren't my thing, either, but the presence of a pickle improves the ambience. <grin>
Mayonnaise is goyish, as Lenny Bruce may have said. So is Wonder Bread.
Posted by aretee (Member # 1743) on :
I was going to ask if you could get a hot ham and cheese on a bagel...but that joke is wasted. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Pfft. Mayo isn't goyish; it's Yekkish. (They even serve it with gefilte fish, alongside the chrain!)
(That sentence almost gave my spellcheck heart failure. )
Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :
I like my corned beef with kraut.
Posted by starLisa (Member # 8384) on :
Ick. Mayo is the worst crime ever committed by Napoleon Bonaparte.
Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :
Mayo is not fit for human consumption.
Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :
Mayo is divine.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
To my non-kosher friends:
If you can find GREAT pastrami, and have it on rye with mustard and melted swiss cheese, you will experience the truly transcendent sandwich creation. The best pastrami comes from Jewish delis. Most of the ones that serve goyim customers not only make this sandwich, but they usually have a name for it on their menu. I'm hoping one of them will name it after me someday.
to my friends who keep kosher:
You aren't missing anything without the cheese. Really. nothing at all. Don't even worry about it. If anything, you get a bit more pastrami on your sandwich than I do, and that really cheeses me off!
to everyone else:
Who cares what you think!
Posted by Shmuel (Member # 7586) on :
I'll agree regarding the eminent suitability of a kaiser roll. And, truth be told, I generally prefer Diet Pepsi to seltzer... but from a traditional standpoint, you'd have to go with Dr. Brown's. And I'm in complete agreement with Lisa on the mayo.
(I'd make a joke about the common theme of "Yekkish" and "kraut" in consecutive posts, but then I'd have to explain it...)
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Posted by Chanie (Member # 9544) on :
I've never tried it, but Galaxy makes a kosher soy-based Swiss cheese. Might be worth getting some to try making a corned beef and swiss cheese sandwich.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
But I doubt it. Posted by Chanie (Member # 9544) on :
True, I still have nightmares about the time I tried parve pepperoni.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Oh, yes. That stuff is foul.
Pastrami is sublime when it is cut into chunks and cooked in the cholent. Brilliant!
I will save the cheese for non-deli meals.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Oh, and by the way...
Hiya Chanie! Welcome aboard! Will we be seeing you outside of Jewish Delli threads?
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I like my corned beef with boiled potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
That's good, too.
Try making the cabbage into cole slaw instead of boiling it soggy. Even better!
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I don't boil it soggy; I boil it crisp. I only put it in for the last few minutes, usually (although cabbage is one of those veggies, like cauliflower, that if you overcook it it just melts like butter and is good that way, too.)
Posted by aretee (Member # 1743) on :
My husband cooks the corned beef in his cast iron dutch oven and then bakes the potatoes and carrots in the juice. Has a strong but DELICIOUS flavor. One of my favorite meals.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
I also saw mention of beef tongue. I will say that good beef tongue also makes for a delightful sandwich.
Yum!
Oh, and matzoh ball soup is pretty darn tasty too.
But please, don't make me drink Cel-Ray soda. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

I prefer this dark herry flavoured softdrink we have its amazing.

I'm hoping that's a misspelling of the word "cherry" and not of the word "hairy"

Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda ROCKS.
And Chanie, knowing how many folk around here think my screen name is pronounced "Tontay", I'm going to guess that those same folks are figuring that your name is pronounced the same way that our Vice President pronounces his last name. Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :
Blayne, congratulations on the job. One bit of advice. Don't cut your finger on the meat slicer. It hurts like .
Posted by Amilia (Member # 8912) on :
Derrell gives good advice. I have ultra cool scars on both my thumb and pointer finger of my right hand. Different incidents. You'd think I'd learn.
We had a theme song at my deli:
I'm a deli girl, In a deli world. I wrap in plastic, My life's fantastic! I slice meat and cheese, Make sandwiches and salads . . .
Erm, I don't remember the rest.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Just as well.
Posted by Chanie (Member # 9544) on :
I've been lurking for a while, but the wonder of corned beef drew me out.
Umm...so I actually ran out to get some corned beef. Which, of course, must be eated on a kaiser roll with red horseradish and tomato. If you'd like to add lettuce and onion, that is also acceptable. Or if you are into mayonaise, you can mix it with the horseradish.
My dad is a big fan of the horseradish/mayonaise mix. In our house, we call in chrainaise (a joke on the yiddish for horseradish, which is chrain). I was 21 when I found out that was actually not its name.
In case anyone is wondering, my name is pronounced "Han-knee." It's the channukah/challah "ch."
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
I'm figuring that if you try pronouncing "honey" as "hahney", with the "a" sound in "father", you'd be reasonably close.
Not everyone can do the "ch" as in "channukah" thing. Comes from a pastrami deficiency.
Posted by Chanie (Member # 9544) on :
Ohh...I like the honey explanation.

My partner likes brocolli al dente. I like it softer. She complains that I like it "spreadable". <grin>
