n. & adj. — Food, Quebec, especially Montreal
smoked meat, usually brisket, that is often sliced thin and used in sandwiches.
Type: 4. Culturally Significant — Smoked meat and smoked meat sandwiches have come to be strongly associated with Quebec, and especially Montreal, over the course of the 20th century (see, e.g. the 1955, 1978, 1988, 1996 and 2008 quotations). Although the term is not unique to Canada, its popular association with Quebec cuisine and Montreal in particular makes it a culturally significant term.
