This is dedicated to Tuscondave and all those other guys sluggin' it out in all those scattered locations, far from their homes of yore and missing a taste of their past.
We were talking in the SB the other night, and I was complaining about how everybody in the Southwest can just about take good Mexican for granted, and how it can be hit or miss in a lot of places, and he came back at me with a comment about good deli.
So, Tucsondave, much like the pious woodchopper, I haven't much but my appetite to give, and so I share with you a gnosh for the ages ...

... consisting of, for me, a bowl of matzoh ball soup, a potato knish, a hot pastrami on rye, various home-style dill pickles and a hot pickled tomato, with two Dr. Brown's Diet Creams and at the end a serving of matzoh kugel and good, strong coffee to keep it all down. The pastrami had just enough fat, but it could have been a wee bit thinner for my tastes. Tender, it was, but just a little on the side of dry. Nonetheless, I managed to wolf it down.
