Not all of could make it to UofA to enjoy the celery tonic and cider donuts, unfortunately. Can we have a report please?

My old NYC neighborhood had a kosher dairy shop. They had creamed herring and lox.

I was around when we served the first faux cheeseburgers and Ruben sandwich. It was some kind of parve soy oil based cheese concoction. Today’s soy cheese is 1000% better although I still wont eat it due to the flashbacks ;)

OK, here was my main sandwich when I was really hungry and didn’t want to eat yet another corned beef sandwich:

Club Roll with inside scooped out – we didnt have sourdough back then :(
Russian Dressing on one side
Real deli Mustard on the other side
Fresh Turkey Breast (not that processed stuff) sliced thin on slicer
Very RARE roast beef sliced very thin on slicer… almost shaved so the meat falls apart in your mouth
a thin layer of cole slaw …. and
FATTY Pastrami (“Belly Pastrami”) trimmed in the middle to remove the tough interior fat, but leave the outside fat there!

You don’t need to pile the meat up too high, that is just a show for the tourists and TV.

I would love to be sitting there noshing on a half sour pickle though I guess food is probably not permitted in the classroom…

Profusser, I hope you will post some nearby recommended deli locations prior to the event so interested parties can stock up beforehand.
