A ketchup coating on the holiday Brisket is one of the most widespread, if not palatable, Jewish-American culinary habits of the late 20th century. My father-in-law swears by it. ---

> [@](#): > > – Uke, wondering why you re-opened this old thread to ask such a goofball question. 1. I had a relevant question. 2. I didn’t notice the dates. 3. The tone of the thread (not too serious) appeals to me. 4. I’m a bit of a “goofball”. (Your word…) 5. To bug you. (I mean, as a moderator, what else would you be doing? You should be thanking me.) I could go on, but I think that’s enough for now. BTW, I still haven’t tasted Pastrami. I’m not sure when I will. I want to save that experience for the right time. You know, when I’m ready… ---

Pardon me, I’m too impatient (and now, hungry) to read the whole thread. What is the thread’s title an allusion to? I know I’ve seen this… ---

To the OP Smithfield Country Ham. Cooked by me. Sliced thin. Served on my hot(homemade by me) biscuits. With/or without light buttering. [I will accept those who brought up prosciutto, awarding them second place]. ---

I’m picturing a threesome with jcg20 and samclem. Don’t mind me. Back to your sandwiches. ---

Aha! Just saw the Seinfeld where George is eating sandwiches in bed. I knew it sounded familiar. (Someone had mentioned Seinfeld before, but I couldn’t put my finger on which episode–so many episodes focus on food, after all.) ---

Sorry Bumbazine. Last time this thread was going around, I had to go out to Langers for the Number 1. (See item 9 on this page: [http://www.jewishjournal.com/archive/08.04.00/travel.08.04.00.html](http://www.jewishjournal.com/archive/08.04.00/travel.08.04.00.html) ) The number 1 is hand cut Langers pastrami, on twice baked rye (warm and soft in the middle, with a crunchy crust), with russian dressing and coleslaw. Now I have to go to Langers again today, for the Number 1. And it’s only 10am, and I’m drooling, and my stomach is growling.
