If there is one food which is synonymous with the city of Montreal, it is the smoked meat sandwich. In other parts of the world, smoked meat is similar to pastrami, brisket, salt beef and corned beef. The difference in taste is derived from the type of cut of beef and how it is spiced and cured, providing a unique taste of its own. Smoked meat's roots can be traced back to Jewish communities in Europe. The dish made its way into North America with the wave of Jewish immigrants during the mid to late 1800's. Since then it has become Montreal's favorite food symbol for locals and visitors alike. Due to its rich history and tradition, one may even say that the sandwich has taken on a legendary status. |

The basic smoked meat sandwich is served on rye bread with mustard. A side order of cole slaw, pickles and french fries make for a complete smoked meat sandwich platter. The meat is freshly cut and served warm, providing for a tasty culinary experience. In addition to the sandwich, smoked meat is also served in a variety of dishes. The entire brisket can even be purchased in order to be taken home and prepared. Although other Canadian cities offer smoked meat, it is widely accepted that Montreal smoked meat is the tastiest and most authentic one of all.
