Of the canned, sliceable pork meats, the best I have found is the

I have had some good Brazilian and Argentine canned corned beef.  The
standard cheap meat protein available in trade stores around the
Pacific is the Australian and PNG produced Ox and Palm brand.  That has
been the basis of many Pacific islands recipes.  (Now I will try to
find one.)
