mortadella

In French, 'mortadelle' refers to a type of Italian cured meat made from finely hashed or ground pork, often flavored with spices and studded with pistachios or olives. It is commonly used in sandwiches, antipasti platters, or served on charcuterie boards. The word 'mortadelle' is derived from the Italian 'mortadella,' and while it retains a similar meaning in both languages, it is specifically recognized as part of Italian culinary traditions.
