Mouth watering sandwiches.......

Everyone has a favourite sandwich.....it might be peanut-butter and jelly from our childhood or a grilled cheese eaten at your local hangout as a teenager. But it is that unforgettable taste that triggers memories of places from our past.

My favourite sandwich was found at a small delicatessen in Elliot Lake. The owner would slow roast a rump roast of beef early in the morning and by noon if you did not pre-order, you were out of luck. Once it was gone, that was it for that day. The sandwiches were so large that one person really only needed a 1/2 sandwich. We have tried many times replicate this sandwich but it was never quite the same as "Berts", the owner of the deli. He was the local butcher and his European delicatessen served the community well.

Kern spent some time learning how to "butcher" meat from Bert. It was a labour of love and the time spent gave Kern a real appreciation for the various cuts of meat.
