salami
A strongly seasoned, air-dried or smoked raw sausage, usually made from pork or beef. It is typically eaten in thin slices as a topping for bread or on pizza.
Für die Pizza brauchen wir noch eine Packung Salami.
We still need a pack of salami for the pizza.
The word 'Salami' comes from Italian. Interestingly, 'salami' in Italian is the plural form of 'salame.' In German, however, we use 'die Salami' as a singular for one sausage.
Ich kaufe eine Salami für das Abendessen.
I'm buying a salami for dinner.
When talking about an indefinite amount of salami, especially as an ingredient or topping, the word is often used without an article. This is typical for many foods.
Möchtest du Salami auf deine Pizza haben?

In the supermarket or at the deli counter, salami is often combined with quantities such as 'eine Scheibe' (a slice), 'eine Packung' (a pack), or 'ein Stück' (a piece).
Könnte ich bitte 200 Gramm von dieser Salami bekommen?
Could I please have 200 grams of this salami?
