Montreal Smoked Meat

My brother's favourite part must be the smoked meat that Montreal is famous for. We went to two different places in two days! Ben's and Schwartz's (also known as Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen). Meat, meat and more is all I can say.

Also had an interesting Ben's Onion Soup which had a nice crusty cheesy rim on the mug it was cooked in. Just scrape it with your spoon. A bit like the cheese crust you get when you have a toasted cheese sandwich. Also had a very pink Ben's special soft drink cocktail. Tasted somewhat like Strawberry Fanta.

Those fried potato cake things were from Ben's. I think it had a sour cream and apple sauce dip. Can't remember what they were called. Oily Blintzes or something. Someone please tell me.
