Trivia: Pickles are served alongside pastrami sandwiches in what style of cuisine?
Italian
Thai
Jewish
Peruvian
Correct Answer: Jewish
So why is this answer correct? : Jewish delis first became prominent in New York City in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the 1930s, Jewish delicatessen owners began serving dill pickles alongside fatty pastrami sandwiches. The acidity of the pickle acts as a palate cleanser to cut through the fattiness of the meat. Pickles soon became a popular side dish at Jewish delis around the world.
