Pastrami in Cork

Batigol309

Hi All,

Anyone know where you can get pastrami or bresaola in Cork....I have tried the English Market but no luck (even though one store sells sandwiches with it she couldnt tell me where she got it:))

She suggested one of the Polish or Lithuanian shops but I guess they dont call it Pastrami?

Also what is Polish name they have for greek yoghurt or quark...

Cheers

You can get pastrami in M&S

I used to buy it in Lidl - but haven't seen it in a while now in my local but I wonder do other Lidl's stock it still?

Pastrami - Not knowing what it is I had to wiki it - and it definitely looks like a meat that Polish shops would have in their deli counters. Not sure what it's called there though, nor if it's exactly the same.

Greek Yoghurt? Well in Polish that'd be called 'Jogurt grecki' (Pronounced Yog-oorrt grets-key)

Quark - I didn't know this name for it, but I have the Polish version of this in my fridge (two cartons, both with a flavour pot in the style of the Muller Fruit Corner Yogurts)! 'Serek wiejskie' (Pronounced Ser-ek Vee-EH-ysk-eh) basically translates as 'Cottage Cheese', and they come both with or without flavourings. Whether you want to try saying 'wiejskie' or not is up to you, and my attempts at pronunciation guide may just confuse you more than help you. Anyway, generally the people in the Polish shops speak good enough English anyway, so if you have a note of the names you'll be fine.

According to the label's the ones I have are 'Serek wiejskie truskawka' and "Serek wiejskie brzoskwina - marakuja" (Serek wiejskie = Cottage Cheese, truskawka = Strawberry, brzoskwina = Peach, Marakuja = Passionfruit). Also, I note mine are out of date now. Does this matter much? Are they still safe to eat?

Are you sure you can't get in the English market. I've definitely bought bresaola in Iago's before. And The the Pigs Back should be a good bet too.

You can get it in tescos. Its in the chilled meat cabinets next to sliced ham & corned beef products. I got some in my local tescos a few weeks ago.

I used to get bresaola in M & S, Patrick's Street, a few years' ago, but when I tried for it recently it had disappeared. Maybe it is back now.

Yeah, definitely the Italian wholesalers at Forge Hill would supply these, and the quality would probably be better than the prepackaged ones you find in Aldi/Lidl/Tesco. It's difficult to reach with public transport though, so hope you drive!

Thanks for all replies...

Checked M&S and they do have it just not in stock..ridiculous price though...5 quid for 125g

Whats the name of Italian wholesaler in forge Hill??

onlyrocknroll

It's a little outside the city but you might find em in Napoli Italian Delicatessen in Monkstown.
