Pastrami

Etymology
From pastrame, from  pastrama. That word is probably from pastırma, a variation of bastırma, "dried meat", from root *bas-, to press; the other possible origin of the Romanian word is the  παστώνω (pastono, "I salt"), from   (pastos, "sprinkled with salt", "salted"). The English spelling ending in -mi is probably from the influence of salami.
