Well the beef is soaked in salt brine so a bit similar, we have ‘Cottage Roll’ which is sort of a pickled type pork, we cook that boiled. Corned beef is more pickled but similar in preparation.

Here's a quirky one for y'all: crackers with cheese and slices of fresh garlic. Sometimes I also spread fresh homemade hummus on first, then add the cheese and garlic. Mm-mm, good!
