Wednesday after SCA council a bunch of us decided to go to the Cat and Fiddle pub. I hadn't eaten yet, so I figured this was as good a place as any.
We order the food from the Paris Hilton look-alike who was our waitress and then we waited. And waited. And waited. For about an hour.
What I ordered was the Montreal smoked meat sandwich. I hadn't had one in a long time so it sounded good. Now picture in you mind the ideal Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich. What I got was as far away from that as you could get and technically still be a Montreal smoked meat sandwich.
They got the rye bread right. They put some tomatoes on it, and some lettuce. For the meat there was but a single slice - this was their first sin. They slathered it with mayo. Not dijon mustard, not even regular mustard. Mayonnaise. This was their second sin.
So yeah, here I am in Edmonton jonesing for a real Montreal smoked meat sandwich. Perhaps tomorrow when I'm at the mall.
