It's one thing to buy a bunch of cold cuts, cheeses, and whatnot. It's quite another to arrange them attractively for a party or picnic, and that's where the Perini Family, which runs one of the finest delis in Florence's
Mercato di San Lorenzo comes in: the platters on their countertop invite, nay, demand one stop for a nibble, and while this means that they sell a lot of food to nibblers who decide they want more, if you look at what they do with a critical eye, they provide all sorts of ideas for those preparing buffets, parties, or picnics, not to mention those who simply enjoy a well set table.
Here we have mixed cold cuts and more, surrounding marinated garlic cloves.
The cold cuts include, starting from the left of the sign:
- Prosciutto,
- Salami,
- Prosciutto cotto (cooked ham) with a slice of cheese on it,
- More prosciutto with prunes, I think,
- Fine grained salame Milanese with cheese,
- More prosciutto,
- Cheese and (if I remember right) pancetta arrotolata,
Finally, the green and yellow things to the right of the sign are a pieces of a
spinach sformato cooked in a ring mold.
There's a lot to nibble on here.
