capicola
Italian cured meat
Capicola is a traditional Italian cold cut made from dry-cured pork shoulder or neck, seasoned with wine, garlic, and spices like paprika or black pepper.
It's sliced thin for sandwiches and charcuterie boards.
The pronunciation varies: Italian-Americans often say "gabagool," reflecting southern Italian dialects: I'll have the capicola on rye.
