I found the salami!

[ohiosmith]

Bought some Genoa salami yesterday. Couldn't find it last night. Looked everywhere, I thought, including in my car. Figured the bagger forget to pack it. Woke up in the middle of the night. What if? When I got up this morning I looked in the bread box. Sure enough, there it was underneath the corn tortillas. Nice and ripe.

3. I'm sober at this moment.

But I don't intend to be that way later: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018411667

4. Ripe

Well if it is not too slimy ,you should be able to eat it .
There are generally enough preservatives in that kind of food to keep it "safe" for human consumption.
I know I have left cheese out for several hours and it never made me sick.
Who knows though.
Than again who knows what it will taste like after a few drinks?

7. With salami, that's the point.

the "sal" in "salami" is salt. It was used in medieval Italy to preserve meat at room temperatures for days or weeks. When I got to my authentic Italian and Kosher grocer here in DC, they're hanging from hooks over the cold-meats case.

Genoa salami, unless its low-quality and sliced, should be fine after 24-hours in the breadbox. There's one sitting on my counter right now, my Albanian roommate loves it...he gets up in the middle of the night, slices a hunk off and gnaws on it as he stumbles back to bed.

8. After a few drinks I might dig it out for a sample!

9. Worse case senario

If it sours the liquor you will know to stop eating it.
Of course that depends I imagine on how many you and ITW drink tonight.
We have none of that type of salami here.

5. So somebody was hiding the salami, huh?

10. Pretty

Neat trick when one forgets where one hid one's own salami......
