Other forms: salamis
Salami is a hard spiced sausage eaten in thin slices. A slice of salami, salami and cheese, hang the salami.
It is preserved by fermenting and drying rather than cooking, and the white bloom on the outside is a mould put there on purpose. Salami tactics means taking something a slice at a time so no single slice provokes a response. The name comes from the Italian for salt.
