National Salami Day
September 7 · Level 2 · #1929 of 2238
National Salami Day is an unofficial American food celebration devoted to a favourite sandwich filling and snack-board staple. The name covers a wide range of meats, seasonings and curing traditions, leaving plenty of room for a tasting session.
How it is celebrated: enthusiasts compare varieties, assemble platters with bread and cheese, and share sandwich ideas. Delicatessens and home cooks join in with themed offerings and food photographs.
In Italian, salami is already plural: one sausage is a salame. English borrowed the plural and commonly treats it as the name of the food.
