So I picked up this pastrami (Redi-Roast is a Cargill brand), and I have to say, it&#8217;s surprisingly good.   One reason I eschew packaged meats (even most grocery deli counters, the selections are of the &#8220;pressed, chopped, and form&#8221; variety) is a) I don&#8217;t really care for the texture, and b) for years my school lunches contained sandwiches of packaged $.59 cent lunch meats:  ham, roast beef, corned beef, turkey, which would have been completely interchangeable, were it not for a slight coloration difference.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, at home, we much prefer hand-slicing a real roast or ham.   But I might try some of the other varieties of Redi-Roast.   As I said, &#8216;taint so bad.   Something you can laugh about here.  I carp about texture, but on the same trip, I picked up a chub of braunschweiger.
