The word salami is an abbreviation of Salvation Army, as the cured sausage was first served to the homeless from special shelters set up in late Victorian London.

As fire rages in a building in Dean Street in the heart of the West End of London the news reports that the Salvation Army are on the scene. Call me stupid but exactly how do you put out a fire shaking a tambourine?

London's burning, London's burning; fetch the engines, fetch the engines.
