delicatessen

what it means

A delicatessen is a shop dedicated to fine, ready-to-eat foods that delight the senses. The picture is a glass counter filled with cured hams, wheels of aged cheese, marinated peppers, and loaves of crusty rye. Borrowed through German from the French délicatesse, meaning delicate luxury, a delicatessen is where ordinary groceries give way to artisan care. People visit a delicatessen not for raw flour or dry beans, but for rich pastrami sandwiches sliced thin, pungent mustard, and imported pickles packed in brine. Whether shortened to deli or spoken in full, the word signals craftsmanship and flavours prepared with generous, loving attention.
