So some "writer" ex-"punk" hack takes several sessions of playing Cyberpunk or Shadowrun and writes a book. I thought copyright infringement was looked down upon in writing circles.

"Smoked meat" is a pastrami-like delicacy particular to the city of Montreal. It is eaten in a high-piled sandwich, flanked by rye bread (no carraway). The French-Canadian term for a smoked meat sandwich is un smoked meat. Hence the italics, I think.
