Someone will probably tell me I don't know what I'm talking about,
but salami is a type of sausage that is cured, fermented, and
somewhat dried.

Yes, salami is used that way in the U.S. I've seen it cut into
a fairly large dice and used in cold pasta salads, tossed salads,
and other salad-like dishes.

We've got a pretty wide variety of types of salami in the U.S.,
from German-style, to Italian-style, to some that are uniquely
American.

It's also eaten hot, although I'd say that's not extremely common.
I know a place where you can get salami added to a hamburger,
you can get it on pizza, and there are any number of sandwich shops
where you can get it heated on a sub.

Pepperoni is a salami, and that's extremely common on pizza.

What Julie doesn't know about sausage (of all kinds) could fill a
large book. Since she doesn't care for it, I don't expect her
to know very much about it.
