two times wrong:
- mortadella is delicious, if you don't like it, fine, you're the rounding error, but nobody is over selling it, people just love it because what's not to love about it?
- salame is not an alternative to mortadella, it's a completely different product (mortadella is cooked, salame is air-dried), in the same way a steak is not an alternative to bresaola (same animal, different process).
- soledades 4y agoum, they're both food, are they not? and yeah salame definitely better.
- peoplefromibiza 4y ago> um, they're both food, are they not? ice cream and broccoli are both food too... > and yeah salame definitely better. according to your taste maybe, and that's completely fine but AFAIK people love them both.
- tomjakubowski 4y agoGo to a sandwich shop that has them both, and you'll probably find two sandwiches on the menu that are identical up to substituting salami and mortadella. I would be very surprised to find a menu anywhere, except for maybe in some high modernist bullshit cuisine, that substitutes ice cream and broccoli.
- peoplefromibiza 4y agoEver been to Italy, where nortadella is from? I can assure you it is the contrary. Mortadella is also more popular because it is perceived as lighter and with a smoother flavour.
- tomjakubowski 4y agomore specifically they're both what we'd call "lunch meats" in the US
