I loved this installment! Thanks for sharing! I fell doubly sad now because we’ve moved from CT.

This made me sooo hungry - last time I wanted pickles before 10 in the morning I was pregnant!!!!! I grew up in a town where there were two Jewish delis. I remember one had guys working behind the counter who were fast, curt and you needed to know what you wanted! Very Jewish over the counter mannerisms - it’s a jewish thing I believe - similar in Israel when ordering sabich (sp?) anyway it smelled great in there and they gave you a bowl of pickles if you sat down at the table. Didn’t allow Swiss on your corned beef - no way. I think they might have thrown you out in your ear if you tried to order that.
