I went to the opening of a new deli in my town. It advertises old-fashioned Jewish foods, and American classics. I had home made pastrami on fresh-baked Jewish rye bread with brown mustard and sliced dill pickles. It came with a choice of sides, and I picked the homemade potato salad and their iced tea. The whole thing came to about $8.00 after tax. It was really good! Why Scout, how very New York  In 1998, I was in Manhattan, and we went to some famous NY deli. Those sandwiches were HUGE and very good. This place reminds of that one, whose name escapes me. It also reminds me of Langers Deli in Los Angeles-which is a famous landmark with delicious deli food! New York's finest deli was always the 2nd Ave. Deli (used to be about 3 blocks from where I live, but now, is no longer on 2nd Ave. it has moved to mid-town because they could no longer afford the rent). That and the Carnegie Deli (both mainstays of NY eatery).

I think we were at the Carnegie Deli. That was a great place. Unfortunately, now too, closed. Pretty soon all that will be left are Frozen Yogurt places (yuuuuk!) and nail salons. Thanks to Mr. Bloomberg.

The whole thing came to about $8.00 after tax. It was really good! One of my favorite deli sandwiches is a Reuben sandwich made with pastrami, instead of corned beef. I'm from a suburb of NYC (Connecticut)and most delis used pastrami instead of corned beef. Reuben sandwiches seem to be more popular with guys. I like the beef pastrami (forget the turkey pastrami imitation), sliced Swiss, lots of sauerkraut, and Russian dressing. And, of course, some Kosher Dill pickle spears. One deli that I frequented years ago had a pickle barrel and you just helped yourself. The sandwiches were awesome and original! They don't make them like that anymore.

They don't make them like that anymore. If you want truly exceptional food you have to make it yourself.

I do. I didn't even realize that people made Reuben sandwiches with corned beef, until my craving for one caused to find a good deli recipe. I had thought that you made them with pastrami. I bake my own seeded (caraway)deli-rye bread. I buy Claussen pickles, which are like homemade.

I like to try different flavors of mustard. I prefer the stone-ground brown mustards, though.

Yesterday I bought three kinds of mustard. And I wasn't even out of mustard!
Today, because Joe brought it up, I got a pound of deli corned beef, Some Ba-Tampte new kraut and pickle spears, a loaf of seeded Jewish rye bread and a bottle of Russian dressing.
Joe, how do you bake that rye bread? My home made rye bread is "okay" but nothing special, y'know? My understanding is that Jewish rye needs to be a sourdough and I've just never gotten my act together to do sourdough bread.

I bake it on an oven stone in the oven. The deli-rye doesn't have to be a sourdough, but it does taste better to me. I also place a broiler pan on the bottom rack and add one cup water. I mix caraway seeds with the dough as well as sprinkling on top just before baking.
There were great bakeries all around us when I was young. However, they seemed to have gone the way of the machine shop on every corner. One of the bakery breads that I miss most is the hard roll with poppy seeds. They were fantastic! Nothing like the poor imitations sometimes available today. I'm not alone in that sentiment, either. When I was searching for a recipe, I came across a number of other people who grew up in the NY, NJ, CT area that also remember them from their youth and were looking for a recipe.
