.....makes delicious sandwiches!

Don seasoned a venison roast for 5 days, smoked it for 3 hours, and steamed it for 1 hour, then got out his meat slicer and created thin, succulent slices of sandwich meat.  He put it between slices of seeded rye bread, added sauerkraut, swiss cheese and russian dressing and grilled it till it was crisp on the outside and melty on the inside.  Accompanied by pickles, chips, and beer, it made a great Sunday supper!
