Only one place for smoked meat, that's Schwartz' (Ben's, though more famous, is not "old fashioned") on the Main (St. Lawrence Blvd). Only two places for bagels, Fairmont and (even better) St. Viateur. You have a choice of two types of bagels, sesame seed, and poppy seed. None of these namby-pamby flavours! And, you ~never~ ask for sesame or poppy, it's "white seed" or "black seed". They're made in a wood burning oven, and always warm. One must eat one, straight from the bag, as one leaves the shop. There may be a line up at any time of the day or night (that's why they're fresh). Amazing place. And, don't get me going on Montreal steamed hot dogs (otherwise known simply as "steamies") Gotta go to the Pool Room (also on St. Lawrence). To ask for an all dressed hot dog in Montreal French? "Un 'Ot Dog, All-Dress". Geez, I gotta get back to Montreal one day... cheers, frank Jim McIntyre wrote: > Montreal smoked meat on a Montreal Bagel, a slice of Oka cheese, washed down > with a Brador beer.
