I don't know where the idea that salami and/or salumi is derived from the Italian word for sing comes from - or why Italians might call preserved meat provisions "sing".

The Italian word for "sing" is cantare. Salami and salumi both come from "sale" - Italian for salt - because the meat preservation is traditionally done through salt curing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.76.122 (talk) 22:12, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
