What is National Cold Cuts Day?
On March 3rd, Dagwood will eat his heart out because it's National Cold Cuts Day. Call them lunch meats, deli meats, sandwich meats, or cold cuts. Some people like them thick, while others stack them a mile high. Others, on the other hand, are still preferring them with cheese and crackers. However you like them, National Cold Cuts Day was created for sandwich and snack makers.
The humble turkey and ham are two of the deli staples. There are culinary delights like salami and prosciutto, as well as flavors that require a more acquired taste such as head cheese and braunschweiger. There is a cold cut for everyone, whatever your preference. Well, everybody except the vegetarian..
Any nationality has a unique way of seasoning, curing, and aging a variety of meats. Spices, inhalation, and time all change the flavor. The flavor is also affected by temperature and air circulation when the animal is butchered, as well as air circulation.
It's basically an art history lesson rolled into one, and at the end of it all, there's delectable food that can be enjoyed with friends and a refreshing drink..
Or, it's simply a piece of meat meant to make a dish. However, breaking bread with friends sounds so much more enjoyable..
