3-Pack: Fra’ Mani Salame Variety (around 12 oz each)
Condition: New
Fra’ Mani SALAME CALABRESE
Description: Fra’ Mani Salame Calabrese is inspired by the Calabrian style made in Southern Italy. Fennel seed, sweet and hot peperoncino, and chili flakes make for a robust, well-balanced flavor
Serving suggestion: We adore our pepperoni, but in truth, the Calabrese is the one we’d put on a pizza. We’d suggest a classic pie with red sauce, shredded mozzarella, and our Calabrese
Description: Fra’ Mani Salametto Piccante is a Spanish dry chorizo is seasoned with smoked paprika and a hint of cumin
Serving suggestion: There are few things that hit the spot quite like linguine con vongole (linguine with clams). What’s a better way to spice things up than adding some lightly sautéed strips of our Salametto Piccante. We like to call it a perfect balance of a little bit of brine, brightness, and a whole lot of flavor
Description: SALAMETTO. A classic dry salami that’s rich and tasty. Seasoned with sea salt, black pepper, red wine, and the perfect hint of garlic, the Salametto is one of our most popular choices
Serving suggestion: Butter makes everything better. Our Salametto does too. But together…don’t even get us started. Dice some Salametto and combine it in a food processor with some unsalted butter. Plain butter just won’t cut it anymore.
@phendrick@shahnm, not sure, but these are best eaten by October & ya can’t freeze’em, so…I can eat salami, but not 24/7, eight days a week, or every freaking day till Oct. I mean, I ain’t Italian + I prefer beef salami anyway!!
@Bdonski I was all “huh? are you sure?” In part because I’d never heard of goodeggs. So I looked around, and sure enough there are two of the flavors for $11 (plus shipping/delivery). Even though one of them is only 11 ounces, I’ll definitely still count that.
However, they only deliver to [parts of] California, right? (and a brief attempt to find good prices on Fra’Mani at other sites was not very fruitful)
I guess I agree that Meh’s price is not necessarily exclusive, but it’s more broadly available. So in the end, I guess I’m not sure what the price comparison should be. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@spacemart That’s typical for salami, but even then I’m still not going to trust meat that has to be discounted and sold on Meh for god knows what reason.
@Achromatter@jmbunkin@lichen@rpstrong Oh wow, that’s quite an interesting analogy with the coffee beans and monkeys! It’s amazing how some things can go through quite a process before reaching us. You mean the asian civet cat
@Xieneus Actually you will be blue with sadness if you buy these and not long in the tooth because the expiration date is not that far into the future.
Fwiw, framani.com also says “keep refrigerated” without any “after opening” qualification. Makes me a little nervous. Does it make them go bad to be room warehouse temperature for too long? Or is it just like one of those “best by” dates, so maybe they’re not quite as good as before? (but it’s Meh, so we expect at least some of that)
@xobzoo they’re full of mold as they should be as they’re air cured. They’re also fully delicious. Some of the best salami I’ve ever eaten. They don’t need to be refrigerated before they’re opened but they’ll keep a lot better if you refrigerate after you cut into them.
@Pufferfishy The extended descriptions say that one of them is a good substitute for pepperoni, so apparently at lease one person believes that the answer is “yes”.
@steeltoesenator the mold keeps the bad stuff from getting in while they’re curing. I ate half of the chorizo in one go and still here to talk about it.
Unfortunately, storage conditions for these sausages included several months in Ned’s garage, to where numerous disappearances of young men have been traced. It’s dim and dusty, various rusty butchery instruments swaying on hooks, and there’s a rumored torture pit. EEEEeeeee…
@jhinra I got a shipment from casemates yesterday. I have plenty to wine about I’m lucky to have an authentic Italian deli a few minutes away from my office. If I need a salumi fix, I’ve got a guy
Like everyone I got this in my email, LOL!
I’m glad the driver was OK!
Basically, “I’m sorry, your Meat did not survive the accident!” RIP
"Hey friends,
We wanted to provide an update on your…checks notes…Salami order. (Salameh?)
These were anticipated to have shipped on Monday, however, due to an unforeseen accident (like, the truck of salami got in an accident), these will now be shipping around the 7th of September. They will ship via 2day Air. (Oh, everyone is fine from the accident, just the salami….well….)
Because the salami was destroyed, we are going to be shipping a different batch with fresher Best By dates. The new dates are as follows:
These were disgusting. I tried to cut off the stinky mold but they still smelled rotten. I threw them all away. I’ve never smelled any food so bad in my life. I would have gotten sick if I ate them.
I couldn’t deal with the smell. I also threw them out. They were just thrown in a box when shipped. The packaging says to keep refrigerated, they were definitely not kept refrigerated.

I got the fever!
@yakkoTDI For the flavor?
@yakkoTDI You need more cowbell.
Are the dudes in that last picture playing hide the salami?
@shahnm Don’t you wonder where this salami was hidden before Meh located it for sale?
@phendrick @shahnm, not sure, but these are best eaten by October & ya can’t freeze’em, so…I can eat salami, but not 24/7, eight days a week, or every freaking day till Oct. I mean, I ain’t Italian + I prefer beef salami anyway!!
Not sure if I trust Meh handling my meat…
@mikesmells, I"ll handle your meat!! Just put it in my hand!!
@1DisabledWarVet I don’t think my fiancee would appreciate that, she enjoys handling it herself and doesn’t like to share!
NO FINNOCHIO NO DEALIO
@thechinglish, No Pinochio, No Nose!!
A three-pack of artisan gourmet dry salami CHUBS
IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS by adding to your fancy charcuterie board.
Impress your friends by showing them your chubs-no thanks.
The comparison price is a little misleading. Some flavors available for $10 each on good eggs

How does Glenn feel about Shark coochie boards
Hey Babe! Here’s your SALAMI!!
nope not gonna buy meat online. the amount of salt required to make this ok must be 11
@spacemart That’s typical for salami, but even then I’m still not going to trust meat that has to be discounted and sold on Meh for god knows what reason.
this stuff comes from a guy named Paul Bertoli- look up the name- and if you have any doubts, drop 'em.
this stuff is about as perfect as you can get, made by hand & heart, and it shows with every bite.
@alacrity Is it this guy?
@xobzoo Nuh-uh.
One of the better chefs in Northern California.
Way, way overpriced for medium (at best) quality salami. You can get a better three pack for a little more than half the money at Costco.
@JT954 wadda ya think this is? Chopped liver?
@JT954 @Kidsandliz Chopped pork in at least one instance; I didn’t read them all.
I can buy a lot of pinto beans for $29.
@radi0j0hn, well all I know is that Mexicans can’t Bar-B-Q because d beans keep falling through the grill!
@1DisabledWarVet @radi0j0hn A vile calmuny. You haven’t had good BBQ beans until you’ve had Mexican grilled beans.
@jmoor783, yeah, that’s what happens when ya put your salami in my hand!!
@jmoor783 I can’t un-see that!
Sure
/giphy nerdy-welcome-basket
First Salami, what’s next Gabagool?
@somf69, No, cheap Coto Salami!!
Nasty stuff,looks like it was “processed” through another person and repackaged.
@jmbunkin, It Was!!
@jmbunkin Like the coffee beans they feed to monkeys and then sell to you when they poop it out?
@Achromatter @jmbunkin
I thought that was some kind of cat that they did that with.
@Achromatter @jmbunkin @lichen A Palm Civet cat to be exact, and - if this blog is to believed - the cats are getting a raw deal:
Civet Cat Coffee
@Achromatter @jmbunkin @lichen @rpstrong Oh wow, that’s quite an interesting analogy with the coffee beans and monkeys! It’s amazing how some things can go through quite a process before reaching us. You mean the asian civet cat
@david1333
This was more than a year old thread
But thanks, now I get to see the salama-drama with the shipment getting totaled.
Do they have Bluetooth?
@Xieneus, No,…ya haveta eat’em with regular teeth!!
@1DisabledWarVet @Xieneus Will they cause bluetooth?
@Xieneus Actually you will be blue with sadness if you buy these and not long in the tooth because the expiration date is not that far into the future.
What’s with the sudden fascination with things that are long and cylindrical, anyway? Some of them electric, some not…
Methinks there’s a lonely staffer doing some wishful buying.
@werehatrack, I have a thing, but it ain’t long!! And, yeah, he’s a horney, lonely staffer!!
Meh selling mystery meat. It had to come to that one day.
@hchavers They have the “meats”, apparently.
@hchavers @Kerig3 *mehts
Really Meh, more sex toys?
@Kerig3 At least they don’t need batteries…
@Achromatter And they come pre-lubricated.
@Achromatter @Kerig3 For SpicyTime.
The labels say “FOR BEST QUALITY, KEEP REFRIGERATED” but the specs here just say “Keep refrigerated after opening.”
While those aren’t completely conflicting instructions, they aren’t quite identical…
Also, how “refrigerated” are they at Meh warehouse (or wherever they were before that)? Will these come with candy corn melted onto them?
Fwiw, framani.com also says “keep refrigerated” without any “after opening” qualification. Makes me a little nervous. Does it make them go bad to be
roomwarehouse temperature for too long? Or is it just like one of those “best by” dates, so maybe they’re not quite as good as before? (but it’s Meh, so we expect at least some of that)@xobzoo And not exactly refrigerated when shipped to us either.
@xobzoo they’re full of mold as they should be as they’re air cured. They’re also fully delicious. Some of the best salami I’ve ever eaten. They don’t need to be refrigerated before they’re opened but they’ll keep a lot better if you refrigerate after you cut into them.
Again with the sex toys?!?
Anyone ever made a pizza with this stuff?
@Pufferfishy The extended descriptions say that one of them is a good substitute for pepperoni, so apparently at lease one person believes that the answer is “yes”.
Some’r sausage?
Are they any good in a margarita? (Hey, somebody had to ask.)
Was thinking of trying these but the FAQ’s on the Fra’Mani site about blue/green or white mold and slimy mold changed my mind.
@steeltoesenator You had me at white mold. I’m in for a set.
@steeltoesenator the mold keeps the bad stuff from getting in while they’re curing. I ate half of the chorizo in one go and still here to talk about it.
This is about as bad when the guy came to my door trying to sell me a box of meat from a van about a month ago.
/giphy jagged-obstinate-sulfur
Unfortunately, storage conditions for these sausages included several months in Ned’s garage, to where numerous disappearances of young men have been traced. It’s dim and dusty, various rusty butchery instruments swaying on hooks, and there’s a rumored torture pit. EEEEeeeee…
@MrNews I saw Motel Hell so I know how the best sausages are made.
I think the order “number” generator is rigged on this one.
In before anyone whines about the delay
@jhinra I got a shipment from casemates yesterday. I have plenty to wine about I’m lucky to have an authentic Italian deli a few minutes away from my office. If I need a salumi fix, I’ve got a guy

I was wondering who was playing “Hide The Salame”?
I didn’t receive anything from Meh explaining the delay, so thank you @robson for the "Head"s up!
Most Phallic Name: Peter O’Toole
I received the salami. The casing seems to be covered in some kind of gook. I am concerned that it might be mold. Anyone else having this issue?
@GBrunner321 Normal and generally not a problem, according to the FAQs on the Fra’Mani site.
https://framani.com/pages/faq
@werehatrack Thank you!
These are nicely flavorful in different ways, but pretty stiff on the knife and on the tooth!
I get it about the white mold… but what about the smell?? Its just putrid? Or I got a spoled batch??
These were disgusting. I tried to cut off the stinky mold but they still smelled rotten. I threw them all away. I’ve never smelled any food so bad in my life. I would have gotten sick if I ate them.
I couldn’t deal with the smell. I also threw them out. They were just thrown in a box when shipped. The packaging says to keep refrigerated, they were definitely not kept refrigerated.
I thought these were great. Every day I open meh.com hoping they offer these again.
