Antipasto is more than just pickles. It varies depending on the region, but it often has stuff like various cured meats (proscuitto, salumi, etc.), cheeses, anchovies, and vegetables in addition to pickles. Antipasto is the name of the traditional first course in a formal Italian meal, not the name of a food.

Dravs posted:prosciutto not only generally comes from a different part of the pig than regular ham (hind leg rather than belly), it is also cured and eaten raw whereas Ham is usually boiled and cooked before eating. no they're both made from hind legs. bacon is made from belly.

hackbunny posted:"antipasto" literally means "appetizers". what you're describing is some frankenstein monster of several italian appetizers, mainly tagliere di salumi and tagliere di formaggi - lit. "cured meats/cheeses cutting board", because it's traditionally served on a wooden cutting board (cheap places will just slap them on a plate). there are several styles of pickle appetizers too, like giardiniera, cipolle borettane grigliate sott'olio, antipasto pugliese, antipasto abruzzese... source: born raised and living in italy yeah that's why i said it can have any of those things not that it's always a huge rear end platter of fuckin everything with no rhyme or reason to it you asked how it was different from pickles which you obv already know so i'm not really sure what your point is tbh

yeah i get you, it's a general term but it's a little narrower than just appetizer. like you say antipasto and i'm not gonna expect some southwest egg rolls or jalapeno poppers, you know?

Tafferling posted:Do american even have cured ham or must it be always cooked due to ultra restrictive sanitary laws? yeah we got virginia style hams where you salt cure it for a while, smoke it, then age it so they're not actually fully cooked. it's not like you can't serve prosciutto or smoked salmon or anything else that's cured/smoked and not actually cooked.
