Is pastrami bad for you?

[HappyPuppy]

Hmmmm?

 

[xuanman]

It probably depends on how lean the pastrami is. I miss hot pastrami sandwiches from nyc delis. It always felt like they were going to give me a heart attack, but they were oh so good......

 

[Yossarian]

pastrami has a lot of fat and even more salt

 

[308nato]

Naaaa. Its good for you.

Plus, after eating a big sandwich on rye, I generally get the bed to myself sometime during the night.

:Q

 

[Miramonti]

its good, very good, especially if you get in on a sandwich bought at Togos.

 

[slikmunks]

cold pastrami is bad... you can see all the fat...

 

[slikmunks]

or is that salami... d'oh!

Dunno about pastrami, but bologna has been shown to increase the risk of cancer if you eat it frequently.

Hotdogs too.

Let's put it this way; It isn't good for you.. But it probably isn't going to hurt you if you eat it a few times a year.

No it is good for you.

And a good brain needs some fat.

Only Linoleic, Linolenic and Arachidonic fatty Acids.

Pastrami is probably chock full of those and even other fats we don't know are good for a brain.

I like pastrami, a lot, but the pastrami sandwiches from Togos are about 70% fat. Blech.

Haha.. you wish a garbage meat like pastrami was "chock full" of omega-3's.

Try eating some hemp seed if you want omega-3's, not pastrami.. LMAO!

So says the guy with the hippie avatar.

"Arachidonic"

that sounds like spider fat to me.

 

[everman]

There's a place around here called "The Hat" that makes a great pastrami, especially with their gravey on the side. You don't want to know how bad it is for you though.

 

[Zugzwang152]

pastrami owns! salami does too, although the congealed fat is a little disgusting. I'm all for pastrami and swiss on rye, i just wish i could get a good one where I live

 

[0roo0roo]

its hotdog meat, so yes, relatively high in fat and cholesterol/

 

[Zebo]

High fat, high saturated fat, very high in nitrates and other perservatives, and high in salt. BUT WHO CARES!!

 

[Iron Woode]

Forget Pastrami.

You need large quantities of Montreal Smoked Meat.

mmmmmm......montreal smoked meat.....ahhhhhhhhh.

Now that is food for the gods!

I live in NYC and the best pastrami is truly only available here

HappyPuppy, I eat one pastrami sandwhich a week for as long as I can remember and it's hasn't hurt my health yet, now the alcohol & cigarettes, that's a different story

 

[jaeger66]

I find pastrami to be the most sensual of the salted cured meats.

Togos doesn't have the right mustard. Schlotzky's does, but their meat is too fatty.
