salame

Italian deli meat

Salame is an Italian spelling of salami, the cured sausage.

In English, it sometimes appears on menus or packaging to signal authenticity or specify Italian-style preparation.

The Italian singular is *salame*; *salami* is technically the plural, though English treats salami as both singular and plural.
