This tastes just like the ones Cynthia used to make. She apparently had them when she was a girl, in the north, so she had a flavor in mind. After she was grown and we were married, she experimented until she got the flavor right. I remember her making them and the only thing different here is simmering the pastrami in beef broth, something I got from the food channel. Cynthia made them in the oven, I use a small toaster oven. These sandwiches taste just like her's.
