National Salami Day– always observed on September 7th.
September 7th is National Salami Day Holiday. Salami is a very good and tasty making today a good day, indeed! We don’t need an excuse to bite into Salami. But, seeing that it is being honored today, let’s make sure to have Salami for lunch, dinner, and snacks.
Salami is a fermented Sausage that is made by curing meat. Like any Sausage that is pressed into an Animal casing before curing. Most often Pork is the Meat of choice. Did you know you can make Salami with Beef?
Use versatile Salami in many ways. Eat Salami by itself as a snack. Cut Salami into small cubes along with Cheese. Or, just cut off a big chunk and nibble on it. Salami goes much better with a glass of Wine. Salami is very popular in Sandwiches or Subs. Many of us, add Salami to Salads to add a little zing. Try mixing Salami into Scrambled Eggs.
Salami is an Italian word and it is the plural form of the word “Salame”.

You can enjoy Salami for lunch, dinner, and as a snack. If you eat it for breakfast, that’s even better.
History and Origin of National Salami Day
We found no factual information about this holiday and we do not know who started this holiday, and we don’t know why.

Neither Rain nor Snow Day– always observed on September 7th
We bet you’re thinking “this holiday is about a tranquil Weather day with neither rain nor snow”. Wrong. Here’s the real scoop on = Neither Rain Nor Snow Day which celebrates the opening of the first post office, the New York Post Office building on this day in 1914.
The following inscription was inscribed on the building:
“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night, stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”
Here is the second misconception: A lot of people assume the inscription represents the Post Office motto. This assumption is incorrect. But, this inscription is very close to the old Pony Express rider’s motto. This leads to a third misconception. The Pony Express was not a government-funded predecessor to today’s Post Office. The Pony Express was a courier and message delivery service. However, The Pony Express was privately owned and funded.
Now that we have the history and trivia out of the way, let’s go and enjoy the holiday. We hope you use Neither Rain Nor Snow Day to show your appreciation to your postal delivery people, especially those who walk their routes.
