Chocolate Salami or Salame?? That is the question I get most often. Living between two cultures often requires some explanation. English has many borrowed words, and unbeknownst to English speakers, we use them incorrectly.
In English, “salami,” whether one or three or three hundred, are called “salami” with and I. In Italian, the I indicates more than one. When speaking Italian, 1 salami would be called “salame,” with the E indicating one singular salami. (Confused yet? Hang with me…) So, salame with an E is one salami chub. Therefore, one chocolate salami in Italian is “salame di cioccolato.” More than one becomes “salami di cioccolato.” So there you have the explanation of SalamI vs SalamE.
