It was in a corner pver the counter near the toaster and there was a plate on the counter to catch the fat and to keep a small sharp knife on, Any time you needed a snack, mainly a midnight snack, you would cut a slice of salami. Now my question is, How can I find out what kind of salami would it be safe to keep this way today? I think it is great idea. By the way, friends who lived in homes with a cleaning closet, that was often where the salami hung, so when you opened the cleaning closet it smelled like a mixture of garlic and furniture polish. Made an interesting place to hide during game of hide and seek. re: salami

I really love the one's from Empire National, in Brooklyn. They also do a garlic "Russian" one that's to die for. Any kosher salami will still be safe to hang this way.

But the topic is too important. The very best kosher salami available today is from the Romanian Kosher Sausage Company in Chicago. They'll sell it to you in various degrees of aging/hardness if you don't have the patience to hang it up and wait a few weeks yourself (and who does). I miss Best's which was really a very good salami. Hebrew National is also very good in my opinion. It is greatly improved in both flavor and texture by taking it out of the plastic wrapper and hanging it up for a few weeks. You have to use your own string these days and it's a bit awkward to tie it around the thing (you can also use rubber bands) but absolutely worth it... (you don't need to do this with Romanian by the way because it still comes with a loop of string attached). German Jews often ate a salami that really was a summer sausage / smoky type thing -- a cervelat. The best was from Bloch and Falk in Washington Heights on Broadway at I think 175th St (very near the George Washington Bridge) which was a German Jewish neighborhood. Wonderful kosher wursts of all kinds. Long closed now alas. The next best for a long time was Abeles and Heymann from the Bronx. The last time I had that though it wasn't as I remembered.
