What is Pastrami?

Pastrami is a beef based deli meat made by cooking, brining and curing the beef. No particular cut is used for pastrami, though it often comes from the belly of the cow. Pastrami has a dark outer coating of herbs and spices. When it is sliced, a pinkish red meat is revealed. The texture is a perfect blend of dry and moist with a meaty chewy. The flavor is robust, smoky and peppery. It goes well on sandwiches.

Water is a necessity in nearly every aspect of life, including cooking, baking and hydrating the human body. Water can be served as a cold beverage, or at any temperature comfortable to the mouth and skin.

salt

Salt is a mineral composed mostly of sodium chloride. It is the main flavoring used in food and is naturally occurring in certain foods, such as cheese, beets, meat and celery, plus many others. Salt is white and has finer granules than sugar. Many commercial salts include iodide, while others exclude it. Most salts are white, while some are naturally pale pink with minerals. Salt brings out the flavor of something and can create a tangy mouthfeel, if used in excess.

additives

Additives are added to food items in small quantities to improve the flavor, change the texture, enhance appearance, or preserve the item. Additives are both natural and artificial. Natural additives have been used for a long time, while many artificial ones were discovered in the 19th century. There are numerous artificial additives including soy lecithin, guar gum, ascorbic acid and sodium nitrite.
