      Pastrami is sometimes made from brisket, like corned beef, but it can also be made from what other primal cut of beef?

        I had no idea, and so guessed wildly and incorrectly.

          I knew this even though I don't like pastrami. I have no idea where I gathered this knowledge.

            I didn't know it was made from anything other than brisket but was able to get the right answer by process of elimination.

            I seldom have it, but pastrami on rye with mustard and a dill pickle on the side is yummy!

                Pastrami is IMHO harder to make than corned beef, because it has to be smoked and it generally uses a spice rub, too. A former business partner of mine lived in NYC for a while and got hooked on pastrami from Katz's Deli on Houston. (That's the one in "When Harry Met Sally".) He'd order a whole pastrami from them and pig out on it for a week.

                I tried making some Montreal Smoked Meat a few years back, it is kind of an offshoot of pastrami, it wasn't quite as good as the stuff we had in Ottawa, but it was pretty good. If I had a real smoker it would probably have been better, but all I've got is a wood chip tray for my gas grill. I made it from some brisket.

                A friend of ours it talking about opening up a food truck in a few years to do BBQ. I've been working with him some on menu planning issues. He's got a good smoker, I might try making some more MSM and have him smoke it for me.

                  I guessed wildly and correctly. I love pastrami in sandwiches.
