Grew up in Montreal and used to go here as a kid on the occasional Saturday morning, with my dad and his friend, after a morning of playing chess with them. They would get the "regular" more fatty smoked meat sandwich. I always opted for the leaner one as I had quickly developed an aversion to gobs of fat in my food. It was still a very good and formidable sandwich for a young kid, and the last one I ate must have been 25 yrs ago. I remember marveling at all the interesting looking preparations behind the counter and wondering what they were and how they tasted... Fast forward 25 yrs and to San Francisco where out of the blue last week I developed a bad craving for smoked meat. If anyone knows where I can get some in the Bay area, please let me know.
