salami :)
Another one from me: since salami is raw meat, it shouldn't be bad....
Or is it?

On that note, all so-called raw 'cured' meats these days (unless they are made at home by dedicated, traditional producers who are patient in their art) are likely to contain nitrates and nitrites, which form nitrosamines in the gut which can lead to cancer. So BEWARE! (Aside from this, Oscar's point about the high salt content of these cured meats is very important to remember if you are susceptible to acne.)
Nitrite + proteins (from meat) {under acidic condition:stomach acids}-----> nitrosamines (carcinogenic)
Another thing to note is that nitrites will react with the haemoglobins from the meat's blood and form a pinkish colourization which is why sausages/weiners/frankfurters, meatloaf, ham...etc are pink.
Pink meat=nitrites--->nitrosamines=carcinogenic=cancerous
So avoid pink meats!

eek!
I'm probably going to get cancer then. Childhood diet has a huge impact on your lifelong health and my childhood diet was full of pink meat.
For my school lunch box my mum gave me a ham sandwhich, a sausage roll, and a scotch egg (contains sausage meat) and for my dinner boiled ham or corned beef. What was she thinking?! I hated every mouthful, I thought all food tasted disgusting. Then suddenly when I became vegetarian all food tasted nice (except cheese).
