Pastrama
Pastramă is a popular delicatessen meat traditionally in Romania made from lamb and also from pork and mutton. Pastramă was originally created as a way to preserve meat before modern refrigeration. For pastrami, the raw meat is brined, partly dried, seasoned with various herbs and spices, then smoked and steamed. In the beginning, pastramă was a specialty from Wallachia made from young ram's meat. The word pastramă is etymologically rooted in the Romanian a păstra, which means "to keep" or "to preserve". But the word is maybe[citation needed] more ancient and comes from the Latin pastor who means shepherd. So Pastramă is shepherd's meat so lamb or mutton.[original research?]
