A corned beef sandwich is a Jewish deli sandwich filled with corned beef, traditionally served with mustard on rye bread with a pickle on the side.
In the United Kingdom, the Jewish dish is known as a salt beef sandwich, and a corned beef sandwich refers to one made with canned corned beef, often served with a sweet, vinegary pickled chutney such as Branston Pickle rather than mustard.[ citation needed ]

In Hong Kong Cha chaan teng cuisine, the corned beef sandwich refers to a variation made with bully beef: the canned beef is broken into minces and mixed with beaten eggs, and the mixture is fried into either a patty similar to egg foo young, or a hash of egg and beef pieces; either which are then sandwiched between bread slices.
