Schwartz’s Smoked Meat
Montreal’s very own Schwartz’s is home to the best smoked meat in the world (I know, I’m starting to sound like a broken record after my best bagels in the world entry). Similar (though not identical) to NY pastrami and London salt beef, Montreal smoked meat is spiced cured steamed and then sliced by hand. When served with super soft fresh rye bread and a 1/2 sour (pickle) you’ve got the best thing since well, Montreal bagels.
Again, worth the detour to Montreal (wherever you happen to be heading).
