I'm making a homemade pastrami.

Details please. I made it once, but would like some tips.

I should have said semi-homemade. Started with a Hormel corned brisket and combined black pepper, juniper berries, and the spice pack that came with the brisket. It tasted really good but I failed to plan ahead and was hurting for time. I ended up cooking it at a higher temp to speed it up and sacrificed some tenderness. Since it was sliced so thin it didn't really matter.

We had a feast this year...had a few friends over.

Hickory Smoked Brisket (2 x 6lb briskets smoked for 10 hours)
Homemade Cheese Curds (yeah, we were going for the Packers)
Black Pepper Crusted Venison Backstrap Bites with a Mocha Merlot reduction sauce (the idea came to me in the shower one day, and it was a hit! If anyone wants the recipe, let me know!)
Green Peppers, Onion, and Sausage on the Discada.

All this combined with three different types of venison sausage a good friend brought over, a crock pot of venison chili, and chopped BBQ...well, we should all have gout in the morning, along with about 5lbs of extra weight around the waist. :-)

Tons of leftovers that were eaten for lunch AND dinner today. Next time we have a "gout-fest" like this, I'll save ya a plate!

Had them a couple years ago in Wisconsin. The squeaky ones? I didn't care for them. My dogs, that love cheese, wouldn't eat them. My daughter also loves cheese and she spit it out also as fast as the dogs. I didn't think they were terrible. They just weren't for me.
