So, as you start down the Blackstone sidewalk, there are turnips to the left, genoa salami to the right. The meat shops go in for variety. Capicollo. Mortadella. Proscuttino. Pepperoni. Eight different kinds of salami, including carando milanese and d'annuzio. May we suggest some Bunker Hill Baloney? The butcher men whisper loudly like dark corner procurers.
