Smoked Salmon isn't just for bagels with cream cheese, onions and capers.
You are right. If I have a tree lose some bark, I nail up a piece of smoked salmon to cover up where the bark is missing. Really well-cooked roast beef (and I mean rare to ever so slightly medium rare) is hard to find in many cities. Many places only sell well-done roast beef which I could also nail up to a tree that is missing some bark. A rare roast beef sandwich piled on pumpernickel bread with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, and thinly sliced red onion with mayo is tough to beat.
