Smoked meat sandwich from Quebec

There are signs all over French Canada proclaiming smoked meat. They are not inaccurate. This sandwich had two types of meat, I think beef and ham, with mustard on lightly toasted bread. It was cut very thinly, but built up in many layers. I need to become friends with the ham slicing lady in the single remaining unpretentious butchers in London (in Chrisp St market, tower hamlets). In fact, I need to visit her today.

Beef rolled round spinach and cheese

I can't even remember where I saw this but when I did, I thought, "what a good idea"... I've got a cast iron skillet with grill pan ridges coming in the post from Amazon. My sister recently demonstrated that a cast iron ridged pan is the only way to cook steak, so I'll be interested to find out how my £7.50 offering fares against the ostentatious le creuset. Probably we'll be about even after I've seasoned it over a couple of years. Hmmm.
