A very popular delicatessen meat, pastrami is usually made from beef however sometimes is made from pork, mutton or turkey. The pastrami was originally created as a way to preserve meat before modern refrigeration. To make pastrami the raw meat is placed in brine, then partially dried, seasoned with various herbs and spices, smoked and steamed. A wave of Romanian Jewish immigration introduced pastrami (pronounced pastróme), a Romanian specialty, in the second half of the 19th century. Early English references had used the spelling “pastrama” before the modified “pastrami” spelling was used. New York kosher butcher, Sussman Volk is generally credited with producing the first pastrami sandwich in 1887, claiming to have gotten the recipe from a Romanian friend in exchange for storage of his luggage. Due to the popularity of his sandwich, Volk converted his butcher shop into a restaurant to sell pastrami sandwiches.

WTF is that? See post 13 for a real pastrami sandwich.
What are they doing with it?
That’s “spiced beef” to us Tory-types!
LOL...but the article DOES back up what I said about pastrami. :-)
Is this for real ?
Cuz I made a hot pastrami sandwich for lunch today !
Scout’s honor.
When you cant wrap your mouth around the sandwich, you know youre in the right place.....a NY Jewish deli.
Then they duck behind the counter.

Cured, salted, navel-end beef brisket, with a spice dry rub, perfectly cut, on seeded rye, with spice mustard.
Like butter.
To die for.
I got a Text from Der Weinersnitchel this morning informing me of the news.
On a fishing trip to Montana back in the 80s, we wandered thru Moab, UT and stopped at a deli. I snidely asked for a pastrami sammich. The lady in charge said, “White, rye or pumpernickle?” Later, at a nearby dairy bar I had raspberry pecan ice cream, which I’d never seen before, nor have I since. Divine!
Kellie Waymire has been gone a long, long time.
I remembered that she attended a Methodist University in Texas. Was pretty sure it was Texas.
But I couldn’t pull her name off the top of my head. Hadn’t used it in awhile. Oddly enough, I thought of that episode just today or yesterday. She’s been gone over 15 years now.

Cardiac arrhythmia, mitral valve prolapse, diagnosed when she was a teenager.
At a local deli I ordered and was served this (with cole slaw & kosher pickle)

One of my absolute favs. Loved going to NYC (before it went psycho) with my Dad to get huge sandwiches on rye, so thick, you could barely get it in your mouth.
If you had that in California, that might explain it. I remember my Aunts and Uncles coming to visit, from California, complaining about some of the food out there and how they couldn't wait to eat REAL coleslaw and pastrami sandwiches, on their visit "home". :-)
OTOH...it's a somewhat better picture than that sorry one, you first posted; so good on you! :-)
Well, we know that Eastern Europeans brought it to the US. That doesn’t negate the fact that food historians say it originated in the mid-east.
