The meat on the left is definitely pastrami, which always has a marbled look and that black, crusty stuff on the outside. The corned beef is the reddish stuff on the right in your photo. I am a lifelong New Yorker and I don't particularly care for either. I'll take a bloody roast beef sandwich, four inches thick, dripping with Russian dressing on fresh New York Jewish Rye, any day over those two! And a cold beer!
