Laugh all you want. True salami's are not cooked, they're
cured. Obviously you can do salami *like* products that are
cooked but they aren't salami in the traditional sense of
the word.

Kinda like you *can* boil ribs, but I wouldn't (Sorry Moosie
;-) )


One example:

It. salame [sah-LAH-mee] The name applied to a family of
sausages similar to cervelats. Both styles are uncooked but
safe to eat without cooking because they've been cured (see
cure). Salamis, however, tend to be more boldly seasoned
(particularly with garlic), coarser, drier and, unlike
cervelats, rarely smoked.
