Hi Mysty I appreciate your comments but I’m not sure if you read my post I did mention the traditional recipe was different but over time, like most recipes, other versions have been introduced. I added the nuts because for one I had so many leftover nuts it was a great way to use them up and two, I love the flavour of the toasted nuts with chocolate. I hope you’ll understand I was not trying to pass this off as the traditional. Often times recipes will vary from region to region as well.

only that the recipe is no way near Italian, check your sources better next time.
Biscuit salami is a very well known desert in eastern Europe

The raw eggs get me a little squeemish too, I always make sure I get the freshest farm eggs when I am making. I like your eggless version, will definitely try if I don’t have fresh eggs on hand.

How wonderful to serve the chocolate salame whole! I also make this recipe and have blogged about it October 2010 though I make an eggless version. (I’m squeemish about raw eggs!). I love the way you have wrapped it and serve it whole on a wooden board! Brilliant! I love your photos, as ever!

Thanks Mardi! What a coincidence I was hunting for Michael’s “bacon how to” just this morning.

I’ll tweet it at them – they will love it
Charcutepalooza is a group of us working our way through Ruhlman’s “Charcuterie” book this year. It’s fun but chocolate salami is way cool too!
