Smoked meat, also called beef brisket in some parts, is a kosher-style deli meat cured for more than a week so that it properly absorbs all the flavours and seasonings. Though most people are familiar with it in sandwich form, it sometimes finds its way onto other dishes, such as poutine. These places in Edmonton will satisfy your craving for smoked meat in any form.
