Pastrami almost killed me

What was I thinking? Thinking I could eat pastrami?? I've done well with most meats, and I figured pastrami is moist and will go down smoothly. NOT!! I had ONE BITE of pastrami (with no bread, just some mustard and pickle, which I know I do fine with) and within a minute I was in HELL. My stomach hurt bad and I could barely breathe!! I am a person that NEVER throws up, for whatever reasons, I've only vomited 3 times in my whole life. I ***tried*** to get myself to throw up, and couldn't. I was miserable for 45 min, then it passed. NEVER try pastrami Its bad, mmkay? Rebecca M. 269/207/150

You are a brave woman trying it. That is something I would have been too scared to try. I am glad it passed. Be careful! We don't want to to get hurt!

Hi Rebecca....I got a good laugh when I opened up this forum and saw your title....Pastrami almost killed me!!!! That was too funny, but I am sorry you had such a reaction. The one thing that did that for me was some honey baked turkey breast - about 6 weeks out. I had one very small piece - thinking the turkey was good for me and immediately things went bad. I have decided it was unfortunately the tiny bit of glaze on top of the turkey - which it never occured to me would be lethal! I was sick for a good 2 hours - thinking death would be easy compared to the pain! Poor Mr. Pouch's seem to be tempermental. Glad you are better...Barbara
