Let Them Eat Salami

Here’s a human interest story you can sink your teeth into. US troops stationed in Iraq are to receive 23,000 salamis from a pair of brothers who run Hobby’s Deli in Newark. The two have dubbed their idea “Operation Salami Drop”.

Money quotes from the two brothers:

“You have to do something. I can do salamis.” -- Marc Brummer
“Once they dry, they’ll be digging them up like they dig up dinosaur bones. That’s what makes them so great” – Michael Brummer

There is no connection to Alawi Salah al-Salami, current deputy prime minister of Yemen.
