They’re using plate?!? That is harder to come by, but I have a source. I may give it another shot but it’s been so long that I’m not sure I could try to replicate it.
I just found out you can order their pastrami online. I may order a pound and try again. Thank you so much for the info! Now I have months worth of pastrami testing to do.
You’re probably right, but man I sure did try. And I’ve made pastrami since then using more traditional times. I make pretty ok pastrami, but there’s something in Katz’s that I just love.
I’m into brisket, and pastrami is no exception to that. I’ve had a lot of pastrami in my life and I’ve got to say that Katz is fucking killer.
I like to try to replicate things I really enjoy so that I can have it at home or fuse it with other food that I also enjoy. I spent months trying to replicate theirs and couldn’t do it. Unfortunately I think the issue by the 3rd batch was that I couldn’t smoke it at a low enough temperature to get 3 days of smoke on it.
I’m sad that I don’t make it up to NY very often anymore so I haven’t had it in a few years. I’m hoping to head up there next year.
The answer is always Royale with cheese.
One is probably malt vinegar.
Defederation makes it so that figuring out which instance to sign up with in order to see your friends and local businesses (since we’re talking about vs Facebook instead of Twitter or Reddit) would be a nightmare for the average person.
I have multiple accounts on some services trying to get to everything I want to see. I mostly gave up on Pixelfed. My main Mastodon account can see people on other instances but has problems seeing their posts. And I’m absolutely not willing to troubleshoot it because between work, a social life, and other hobbies I just don’t have the time or give a shit.
I like the fediverse. I’m here. I use it. But I’m only going to use what’s convenient and I promise that I have more patience than the average non tech person who wants to sign up using a linked Gmail account and see all the things they expect to see without having to think about it.
Edit: I think my brain skipped the last two sentences in that comment. I just sat here and bitched about something that was already mentioned. I have brought nothing to this discussion and have brought shame upon my house.
