Glad you're back! Enjoyed this very much-- very informative. As a child I always confused pastrami and corned beef because I didn't like either one very much--too "weird" for me (and I grew up in NY!). Which is stupid, because I loved bologna which truly IS a weird meat product. At any rate, I've found my way to both types of sandwich meats as an adult (hot pastrami on rye and the reuben) but don't eat either one very often. Have you talked about pastrami vs corned beef in this series? Very different origins?
