Thank you! That's all I wanted you to know. Sorry you didn't like
it, but those things are probably an acquired taste.

I've eaten corned beef at least once a year all my life, so I'm fine
with that - but I've never developed an affinity for pastrami.
Sometimes I'll order it over corned beef in a sandwich when I'm at a
certain hofbrau, because their pastrami isn't as fatty as their corned
beef - but mostly, I pass on either one and order a (rare) roast beef
sandwich.
