Ave Salami
The outdoor market at Kollwitzplatz in Berlin has a salami stand that Mark Jackson has raved about for the last two months, and I admit to harboring some hard skepticism. How good can salami get? I know there's a difference between the refrigerated cold cut that goes by that name in America, and the dry, sweating, flavorful stuff you find on your plate (at room temperature) in good cafes around here. But yesterday I bought a couple of nuggets of French walnut salami at Kollwitzplatz, just on a lark, and oh my God. Eating it with bread and cheese is actually an insult, like mixing wine with soda or something. It needs to be mainlined in small doses -- a slice at a time, thoroughly chewed -- to let the sea salt and garlic seep into your blood.
