My only exposure to "Smoked Meat" was in Calgary, where it was one of the optional add-ons to the restaurant's Poutine. We asked the server what exactly Smoked Meat was, and she was only certain that it was smoked. And Canadian. She did not know what kind of meat it was. We got it. It was fine, though the stuff they had had more of a generic lunch meat vibe. Some years later, at the National Restaurant Show in Chicago, I talked with a company that was intent on bringing Smoked Meat south of the border. Not seeing it at the local deli counter yet . . . .
