The Culture of a Deli
A delicatessen or deli is a retail establishment that sells foreign or unique foods. They originated in Germany during the early 1700s then came to the United States in the 1800s. Delicatessen is a German word. In German it was actually a French word, délicatesse, meaning delicious things. It wasn’t until 1954 that the Americanized term “deli” started being used. The first deli in the United States was in New York City.
In the United States, a delicatessen is often combined with a grocery store and sometimes a restaurant. Delis offer fresher food than fast food restaurants and rarely have fried food. They serve cold cuts, hot foods, pasta, salads, and prepare party trays. Some delis have seats available while others are just a take-out restaurant, and some have both. Menus vary depending on the location of each deli and the cultural tradition it has.
In German, the meaning of delicatessen is “fine foods.” In Europe delicatessen means high-quality and expensive stores. In Europe, they are seen as luxury markets. Some delis have food from other countries that you cannot find in your local food or grocery stores. Some parts of Russia have US-style delis that include salads and main courses, and meats and cheeses. The cold-cuts are served in another section similar to a sandwich shop.
