Delicatessens
A delicatessen, also known simply as a deli, is a store that deals in cheeses, cooked meats, and/or exotic foods. The origin of the word is traced to the Latin term “delicatus,” which means “giving pleasure” or “pleasing.” However, the word was introduced into English from German. The shorter “deli” came into use in the United States around 1954. The first delicatessens were said to have emerged in Germany during the 18th century. A German food company named Dallmayr, which imported some fruits such as bananas and mangoes, from foreign locations such as China and the Canary Island in 1700 is regarded as the first delicatessen anywhere in the world.
Delicatessens were first introduced into the U.S. in the middle of the 19th century. New York was the first place where they emerged in the country to cater to European immigrants. The popularity of these retail food establishments was driven by these immigrants, particularly Ashkenazi Jews. As years passed on, deli became less known as independent units in America. Today, they exist in many places as sections of fast food outlets, supermarkets and other stores.
Delicatessens in the U.S. are often a combination of a restaurant and a grocery store. Compared to fast food, these shops provide fresher and wider menu and the service may share certain similarities to that of a cafeteria. Menu typically varies according to ethnic diversity of each region. Delicatessens serve a variety of beverages, including soft drinks, tea and coffee.
