Salted and smoked? How is it different from pastrami? Is it
essentially dried pastrami?

Nope!

pastrami [puh-STRAH-mee] A highly seasoned beef made from a
cut of plate, BRISKET or ROUND. After the fat is trimmed,
the meat's surface is rubbed with salt and a seasoning paste
that can include garlic, ground peppercorns, cinnamon, red
pepper, cloves, allspice and coriander seeds. The meat is
dry-cured, smoked and cooked. Pastrami can be served hot or
cold, usually as a sandwich on rye bread. It's widely
available in chunks or presliced in most supermarkets.

The assertion that pastrami must be dry cured is incorrect.
It can also be wet cured.

Chipoped beef is usually much saltier and drier. Also made
with chopped/pressed/spindled/formed beef instead of whole
cuts of meat.

Salted and smoked? How is it different from pastrami?

Pastrami is wet cured more often than dry cured in the US.

Chipped beef is not dried enough to be jerky, but
almost dried enough. Chipped beef is sliced much
thinner than jerky.

Chipped beef is salted more than corned beef.

It's like a hybrid between corned and jerked beef. In the US
it can be found in any grocery store but it is unpopular
enough that it will be at the top or bottom not near eye
level on the shelves.

Well I had a lot of SOS in the Army, but never made with
Chipped Beef. Usually "C" Ration hamburger or sausage or
maybe a combination.

BTW I don't beleive that chipped beef is smoked, and it is a
winter dish in my house at least once every two weeks. Had
it this morning as a matter of fact.

Ugh, no wonder why I never liked it. Sounds like a heart
attack waiting to happen.

I've never considered it that way, but if you don't like
it... you could make an analogy to anything repulsive.

Hmmm. How $mart would it be for marketers to put a less
popular item out of easy sight for consumers? It wouldn't
make $en$e.

Practice safe eating - always use condiments

These days, 'chipped beef' is to beef what McNuggets are to
chicken -- that is, a sort of beef lunch meat sliced very
thin and packed into jars. It used to be very thin slices of
dry and salty beef, also packed in jars.

I like corned beef. I like jerked beef. I like chipped beef.
I don't get why you added "replusive" in there.

Chipped beef is saltier than corned, and less dried
than jerked.
