The Food: Italian Deli Meats

Salami:

Pepperoni:

Martodella:  Italian bologna.  The fat is mixed in, not ground in, so you can see the large specs of it.  It was made by Anciant romans and flavored with mulberry, which is where the name martodella comes from.

Prosciutto:  Italian ham which is saltier, sliced much thinner.  This is best cut by hand because heat from an electric slicer or cutter will alter the taste.  It must be cut very very paper thin.  

Spec: Cured smoked prosciutto

Testa: Head cheese, which anything on the shoulder and above the neck ground up.
