Best place to buy salami

ac1d1ty · 1 Mar 2010 at 21:54

Where is the best place to buy Salami? Looking for some decent peppery salami, the spicier the better. However Sainsburys at 1.54£ for 15 measly slices is to expensive to buy on a regular basis.

Thanks

So you want good salami that isn't expensive and you get a lot of it? I think you might need to review your requirements.

Lidl or Aldi.

It's one of the primary reasons I go there. The same or better quality than Tesco at a fraction of the price. Oh, and the best one is uncut, so you can cut nice chunky slices.

This. Buy it uncut. It's cheaper, and you cut whatever thickness you want.

German Pepper Salami at your local Tesco or Sainsbury.

Lidl chorizo is pretty damn nice too but you have to take the skin off or else it's really tough to chew, well I do anyway.

Chorizo in asda was about £2 last time I bought it (uncut)

I'll second this, it's very useful to add flavour to risottos, stews etc.

Get yourself off to your nearest deli and ask if they've got some spianata calabrese (spee a narta kal a braysee). It's made with hot peppers and really hits the spot.

Dosent have to be "good", per se, just tasty.

I don't mind paying, but I munch through salami so quickly that I'd like to get it cheaper.

I only have an aldi and that is a fair old distance away. They have no uncut stuff, and only occasionally have sliced stuff, which is cheaper definitely, but the price I pay to go there on the never never....

Anyone know where you can get Salami coated in dried wild flowers? I got this once at a local farmers market and it was lovely, I've never seen it since :/

Make it. You'll need somewhere to hang them to dry, but in the longer term it's a much cheaper way to get it, and you'll be able to prepare them exactly how you want too!

Hah hah hah. I had the pleasure of hearing a coworker's ringtone playing the theme to "Night Court". Stuck with me for awhile now. :mad:

Get it from the Waitrose deli counter, sliced or whole.
