saucisson
Sliced cured meat
Saucisson is a type of thick, dry-cured sausage from France, typically made from pork and seasoned with garlic, pepper, and other spices.
Unlike fresh sausages, it's eaten sliced without cooking, often as an appetizer or with bread and cheese: We picked up a saucisson and some cornichons at the market.
