The Smoked/cured/pickled meat appreciation thread

I shall open with a favorite of mine, Suho Meso which is brought to us by the peoples of the former Yugoslavia. Suho Meso means dry beef in the mother tongue and it's damn tasty. I cut it thin and like to serve it with a few slices of Munster cheese. It's smoky as smoky food gets and pairs well with your favorite beer. I was introduced to it by a Bosnian Muslim who I worked with for a time. He would give me a heel of it at Christmas and on my birthday. Now a days I get it at the al-Bos Cafe here in Grand Rapids. It's easy to find from distributors online and goes for $15 a pound commonly. It travels and keeps very well.

Wow that looks good. I would imagine that I can find that at a Bosnian restaurant here. Believe it or not, the Jortsville has the largest Bosnian population outside of Bosnia. I know, i know, haven't they suffered enough?

St. Lou is followed by Grand Rapids, MI and the Revere, MA. Go figure. Also get yourself an order of cevapi, a caseless beef sausage which is delicious. (Pic below)

I read that as "ceaseless beef sausage" for a minute. Why won't it end?

When it comes to cured meats, lox is my go-to. I was surprised to find that it's infinitely better in Seattle than it is in New York, given that it has such an association with the city. But it's all for the best.

West Coast cold water salmon is among the best.

If you're looking for Jewish lox and you're in NYC I suggest Russ and Daughters. They carry all variety of blessed Smoked fish.

I ALSO like it there. I'll tell you what, there's a deficit of good pastrami in Seattle.

It should be an easy thing, right? Montreal, NYC and this place in Boston called Sam Lagrassa's are the best I've found.

That's because all of your Jews are vegan.
