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.

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.

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.

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.

I was going to ask if you could get a hot ham and cheese on a bagel...but that joke is wasted. Posts: 1735 | Registered: Mar 2001

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!

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...)

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.

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.)

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.
