Salumi

Salumi is a fancy word for meat that has been cured or dried in a special way. Think of it like turning the meat into a super tasty snack by adding some special flavor and preserving it so you can eat it later.

To make salumi, first you need some type of meat, like pork. Then you add some special spices and let it sit for a while to let the flavors soak in. Next, you wrap it in a special casing, kind of like a big sausage, and let it dry out for a few weeks or even months!

Once it's done drying, you can slice it up and enjoy it as a delicious snack or add it to sandwiches or salads. Some types of salumi include prosciutto, salami, and pancetta. And trust me, it's way tastier than regular meat!
