BK Salt Beef in Edgware

Many people talk about the Pastrami sold in New York's deli's as if it is the last thing in boiled beef, I've even taken a special trip to New York just to visit Katz Deli on the Lower East Side to savour what is surly America's best, but did you know in England we have something equally as good?



BK Salt Beef in Edgware must be the best Jewish food in England. Their salt beef is sublime, moist, juicy and perfectly salted, with a beautiful colour (boiled with the odd beetroot perhaps?).

The family who own the shop know just how to serve it, untrimmed/ as it comes is my favourite, a little bit of fat makes all the difference, but if you want it scrupulously lean they'll do it like that too.

On rye bread or white with a smear or more of hot English mustard and a side of pickled cucumber, new green or sweet and sour.

All the other Jewish classics are available, chopped liver, gefilte fish are perfect, latkes and of course Jewish Penicillin…...Chicken Soup with all the trimmings, knaidlach, spatzle and kreplach, yum yum….,



They tell me that the owners children have opened two more shops over west, haven't tried these yet, can't stop visiting the original!
