La Media Luna Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 At La Media Luna we are thinking about offering Montréal Style Smoked Meat (Sandwiches.) We are looking for 4 true connoisseurs of Montréal Smoked Meat. Specifically people that have eaten it many times or has grown up eating it. (The purpose of this is to see if this would be a good addition to our menu.)Once we find the volunteers, later in March we will invite them to La Media Luna for a free lunch with refreshments in exchange for an honest opinion and critique of the flavor and the presentation.We will also discuss the size of the sandwich, the price point that is thought the local expats would pay and compare it to the cost of making the sandwich. So discretion is a must and would be greatly appreciated. Please PM us for consideration and let us know how familiar you are with Montreal Style Smoked Meats and how many times or years you’ve eaten it. Once we find the four volunteers we will keep you informed and make arrangements for the day and time of the lunch. Sincerely, La Media Luna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrod Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 OMG! Grew up on these but in no way an expert. Might tourtieres (meat pies) be next? YUM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think it's actually quite smart to prepare with market research like this. Doesn't happen around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Media Luna Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 So far we've got two great volunteers. Both have eaten the product that we are wanting to duplicate. We'll keep looking until we find the other two. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're thinking sometime in the future we'll be offering to take home smoked heat and serve ribs and chicken. In a few months we'll have Coppa, Culatello, Pancetta and starting next December we'll have Prosciutto. Although it is not typical some of the products aren't normally smoked we should have smoked and none smokes varieties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 "Take home smoked heat"? Alright! You will now be bombarded with info about tourtiere pies, basically a ground pork pie created in Quebec four or five hundred years ago. I would call it po-folk food, which gained aristocracy over the years as people discovered how good it can be. However, it is also notable in my personal eating history as often being terrible: overcooked, dry, with god-awful crust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're starting out slow sticking with smoked meats and in the future some other things that will have to do with cured and/or smoked meats.

ComputerGuy Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 That is perfectly alright. I am not a fan of tourtiere anyway. I am surprised that there have been no responses to jrods comment, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 I must be out of touch. Is this a restaurant? If so, where are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Media Luna Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Kyle, sorry for the late reply! We are at the Ajijic Plaza just across from the school. http://la-media-luna.webs.com/ https://www.facebook.com/LaMediaLuna1/ https://www.google.com.mx/maps/place/Parroquia+1AC,+45920+Ajijic,+Jal./data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x842f46ab41244abb:0xa6d4aee24f3a494f?sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj4tseGhe3SAhVjylQKHcduA5sQ8gEIGzAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I've sent a PM to Media Luna, since I rarely am in that part of town, to see what happened. I have never heard back after our intial meeting. I have to assume the project reached a dead end, or we'd all be chomping down fabulous Montreal-style smoked meat sandwiches by now...
