History

There is no information about the history of National Cold Cuts Day; probably, big meat fans decided to create it as a way to dedicate one day a year to their favorite product.

The emergence of meat slices is associated with the Middle Ages. Back then, meat products were sliced according to the doctor’s recommendations for better chewing and faster digestion. Later, such a dish became popular on holiday tables, and the cuts themselves became more varied. Pieces of various smoked and cured meats, a few sausages, and other items were used.

Today in U.S. stores, you can find a variety of meats for every taste. As a rule, such a product is purchased for holidays or various events where the table will be set. Assorted meats have one big advantage – for the average price of one purchase, you can enjoy the flavors of a variety of delicacies. After all, what’s the point of buying, for example, one big Chorizo sausage if you just want to eat a few pieces and try something else?
