While Pastrami might be the most sensual of the salted cured meats I prefer the taste of Corned Beef (albeit not by much). Which icon of the deli do you enjoy more?

Neither, thank you very much 
I'll usually avoid those funky Italian meat-like items. Just not my cup of meat.

Pastrami. On my first trip into New York city with my wife (she's from Statin Island) we ate at a deli that served for a single person a sandwich about as big as your head. I had the pastrami. We had visited the World Trade Center that day, top of the south tower, winter 1999. I think that may have been my first pastrami.

I have always wanted to try some of those legendary American sandwiches such as "Pastrami on Rye",the "hero Sandwich" the "Monte Cristo sandwich" and others,they sound delicious 
Here in Australia one can walk into any Fish and Chip shop(real thick hot chips not those skinny french fry thingys) and as well as the usual quarter chicken and chips,chicko rolls and yiros one can also have the good old Aussie Steak sandwich which is steak,onions,egg,cheese,tomato,lettuce, beetroot and pineapple on toasted bread or a bun.Great stuff after a night out
Pie floaters are good too.

Ah, the "Cindy Adams" (whoever the blank that is) at the Stage Deli in New York, plus swiss. Costs an arm and a leg but it's damn delicious.

oh, Pastrami, though you really can't find the good stuff very often..I'm talking moist, fatty, falling apart delicious and sliced thinner than thin, hot of course with a good mustard and maybe some onions or a nice dill pickle. Corned beef is good too, but I prefer it stewed in beer with cabbage, potatoes and carrots

For me corned beef for its sheer virtuosity.

I think the best corned beef is better than the best pastrami, but average pastrami is better than average corned beef. I love both though, probably my two favorite deli meats

Whatever you do eat these meats in moderation. Just look at what all the sodium has done to Man Of Mystery's avatar.

Hot pastrami sandwich, made properly, is I think what they referring to as manna in that Bible.

The corned beef we get in the UK is that ground-up mess soaked in gelatin that comes in odd shaped tins that you open with a key that doesn't quite work so you end up digging the stuff out with a fork.
Proper corned beef, that we call Salt Beef over here, is harder to find, but delicious. I have made it myself on a couple of occasions by brining a slab of sirloin for a few days, then boiling it like gammon. Sometime in the Summer I'll have a try at smoking that to turn it into Pastrami.

Pastrami with sliced good quality tomatoes & a combination of English mustard & horseradish (Nervous Nigel's Wow Wow Sauce  ) in a home made bread sandwich... drool.

Coin flip. I like both but haven't had either since I lived in Sacramento.

You got it completyely wrong.... Pastrami is nothing Italian for first and it's no meat-like item >>> it's full meat (not baloney/bologna or mortadella) and it is a NY jewish specialty >> it comes often in a bagel with either mostard and cheddar or with philadelphia cream cheese
So I went with Pastrami
BUT
You've got to taste the Montrealm variant called Montreal Smoked Meat >>>> so freaking good >>> you'll never want to taste normal pastrami again

I hate corned beef. I used to work in a deli...once we get an extra piece (delivery mistake), I took it home...I was barely able to put it in the fridge...and got fed up halfway through. Never, never again.
