Best Deli Meat?

[excel]

Hey guys,

I love sandwiches and was wondering where or who has the best deli meat? Locally made stuff would be ideal but taste trumps everything...

Thanks!

Has any one tried the Beretta Farm meats? It's made from just north of toronto and is sold at whole foods....

No one? I guess there isn't a huge sandwich crowed here....

Person ally, I find them to be tough and stringy. I'm sure that's from all that organic loving that they get.

Had their Montreal Smoked Beef and Corned beef. It's decent but not worth the pricepoint IMO.

What is the price point? Dunn's smoked meat is $16/kg in pouches at Costco.

If you like smoked or cured meats, you might want to try the Polish folks in the lower level of SLM. I've had good luck with the double-smoked Ukrainian, the garlic kielbasa, the Krakovska. Pick wisely though, because some of their stuff looks rather dodgy.

I also like their Landjaeger sausages - they're definitely greasier than usual, but I think they taste awesome.

You talking about the one tucked away in a corner near that small grocer?

I've had a few of their smoked/cured sausages, and the flavour is excellent.

[simplepieman]

That's them. I just looked them up and they're Ukrainian, not Polish. My bad. It's called Dnister and it's next to Domino's, the bulk food place in the corner.

And I should clarify my earlier comment re "looks rather dodgy": some of the items in the display, like the hard salamis, don't always look too fresh. I have no idea whether or not they are, having never tried them.

Highland Farms has a good selection and service is not rushed or haggard at the counter.

Bruno's has wonderful rare roast beefs, made in house. They do both a striploin roast and a ribeye roast. They also roast their own turkey breasts. There are 3 different seasonings, my preference is for the teriyaki -- the teriyaki flavour is minimal, but I prefer it to the other two (which are heavily herbed) because I like the taste of the turkey itself.

Was just going to say the same thing - they have a turkey with stuffing which is quite nice, and their home made roast beef is the real deal...
pretty expensive though.
