As I’ve said in the past I have another #Holiday I can’t wait to share with David. This holiday falls on January 14th and it celebrates National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day #HotPastramiSandwichDay. How does that sound for dinner tonight?
For me not so good because I don’t think I’ve ever had any kind of Pastrami, and I don’t think I want to try Pastrami today. As for Charlie he eats a lot of Sandwiches with David so he might have had Pastrami in the past.
I can almost bet you David has. With my brother her now having Sandwiches featuring any Cold Cuts or Lunch Meat is off the table because it bothers his stomach. Which is for the Birds because David Charlie and I like to have Sandwiches sometimes. What about you?
National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day– January 14 • #HotPastramiSandwichDay
I would like to invite you to celebrate one of the great deli classics today — the hot pastrami sandwich. Did you know this hearty favorite the Pastrami Sandwich traces its roots to Eastern European Jewish cuisine and became an American icon thanks to the bustling New York delis that perfected The Hot Pastrami Sandwich. The Hot Pastrami Sandwich is traditionally piled high on rye bread with mustard and a side of pickles. Don’t forget a hot pastrami sandwich is all about bold flavor and warm comfort.
Here’s a warm, simple, kid‑friendly Pastrami Sandwich
Kid‑Friendly Pastrami Sandwich– A gentle, tasty twist for younger eaters
Ingredients
- soft sandwich bread (white, wheat, or brioche)
- mild pastrami slices (choose low‑spice if possible)
- mild cheese (Swiss, provolone, or mozzarella)
- a little mayo or softened butter
- optional add‑ins: thin pickle slices, lettuce, or a drizzle of honey mustard
Directions
- Warm the pastrami: Heat it in a skillet for 1–2 minutes until just warm.
- Prepare the bread: Lightly spread mayo or butter on the inside of each slice.
- Assemble the sandwich: Layer warm pastrami and cheese on the bread.
- Melt the cheese: Place the sandwich in a warm skillet and cook gently until the cheese softens.
- Cut into kid‑friendly shapes: Squares, triangles, or fun cookie‑cutter shapes.
Tips for Picky Eaters
- Use very thin pastrami slices to keep the texture soft.
- Swap mustard for mayo or cheese if they prefer milder flavors.
- Serve with fruit or veggie sticks to make a balanced, colorful plate.
Thank you.
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
