Trealy Farm Charcuterie Beef Pastrami, 250g Sliced Pack

The name pastrami comes from the romanian pastrama meaning to 'conserve food for a long duration' and found fame in late 19th century America where it was first introduced by East European immigrants. Traditioanlly made with goose breast, its production soon became synonymous with beef, a cheaper meat, which was more readily obtainanble. The first Pastrami sandwich was made in New York in 1887 by the kosher butcher Sussman Volk, the recipe for which was said to have been swapped for luggage storage. In Utah it has been a favourite cheeseburger topping since the 1960s.
