salamis

Italian deli meats

Salamis is the plural of salami, the cured Italian sausage made from fermented and air-dried meat, typically pork, seasoned with garlic and spices.

The word usually appears in singular form even when referring to multiple varieties, but salamis works when emphasizing distinct types: The deli counter displayed six different salamis. (Capitalized Salamis is an ancient Greek island.)
