Being the overly enthusiastic boy he is, he brought back 6 different kinds of salamis: Agrumi Cotto Finocchiona Hot Sopressata Salumi Salami Smoked Paprika Now I have all this meat and I'm not sure what to do with it. Any inspiration for sandwiches, pizzas or pastas or any other brilliant recipe ideas?

The meats are able to shine on their own that way. I usually include some fresh mozzerella, fontina, shaved parm and lettuce, tomato, roasted red peppers, caponata, marinated mushrooms, marinated artichoke hearts, pepperoncini, olives, and really anything else you fancy. I serve with a good loaf of bread, warmed, and olive oil, balsamic, salt, pepper, fresh oregano, and fresh basil to add to one's own taste.

The only addition I would make to the post above is a nice Italian red that would stand up to the various spices....but based on the ingredient listing I sense that diablo took the wine as a given !
