What is the difference between Pastrami and Corned Beef?!
The raw meat is salted (through immersion in a thick brine), then partly dried and seasoned with various herbs and spices (such as garlic, black pepper, marjoram, basil, allspice, cloves), and smoked. In the United Kingdom and the United States, beef is used and the meat is steamed after smoking, before serving
Corned beef, (also 'bully beef' or even more commonly known as 'corned dog' in the UK), is a cut of beef (usually brisket, but sometimes round or silverside) cured or pickled in a seasoned brine. The "corn" in "corned beef" refers to the "corn" or grains of coarse salts used to cure it

corned beef is a type of beef, and pastrami is (i think) like an italian sausage.
i'm not sure if im right, and if i'm not-- sorry!
i dount know.
Pastrami is beef. Like corned beef, it starts out brined, but then it is partially dried, then seasoned with herbs and spices, then smoked.
Corned beef is just pickled in brine, and it's usually a sweeter brine than pastrami.
Pastrami is smoked ham and the "corn" in "corned beef" refers to the "corn" or grains of coarse salts used to cure it.
Corned beef is usually made from beef brisket. and is steeped in pickling spices. It is not cooked. The best way to cook it is boil it.
Pastrami can also be made from brisket, but it has herbs and spices. It is cooked and can be eaten as is. I like mine on light rye bread with some Swiss cheese.

Don't know how to break this to Sherbert, but pastrami is NOT made from smoked ham. If it were, you couldn't get it in a Jewish deli. It's made from beef.
both are a cured type of beef brisket. pastrami, i think is also smoked, and obviously, is peppered. same cut of meat; different curing process.
