To: a fool in paradise

Ahh, pastrami. Can’t find could pastrami sold anywhere here in the swamp. What’s sold as pastrami is Boar’s Head 99% lean corned beef cold cuts with a dusting of pepper along the edges that never even makes it off the meat slicer. Essentially, it’s Boar’s Head ham made with beef instead of pork. Other brands exist, but they follow Boar’s Head lead. Boar’s Head makes nice ham, but pastrami should be loose but dense; textured, not smooth; highly marbled, not 99% lean; and cut messily with a knife, not is neat cuts by a meat slicer.
