Deli-cious
European deli meats are still not a common sight in Metro Manila. Usually imported, and therefore expensive, they are carried only by large supermarket chains and a few deli shops located in upscale malls or neighborhoods. Earle's Delicatessen is unusual in that it makes its own sausages and deli meats. This is from their branch at The Columns Ayala. Owned by a brother and sister tandem, Earle's has a German master sausage-maker as a consultant who comes here twice a year to teach their staff how to make deli meats authentically. And when you buy any of their sausages and hams, they will ask how you want it cut: thin, thick or shredded. It was the first time I encountered such a thing. This Earle's has nothing to do with the UK franchise—the brother in the team just happens to be named Earle too.

Hilda, you should try some of ours! In such a small country the variety is amazing. Unfortunatelly you can have them very seldom unless you want your cholesterol much over 200! :-)))
The food sure looks familiar!
Stop!! You are making me hungry! :-)
It certainly does look good!
Sounds like they're pretty serious about their product. I was on Uebersee the other day, he had the most ghastly photo of a butcher shop. This is soooo lovely.
The food looks great.
That would be a good place to shop, I think, unless, of course, you were a vegetarian (which Lois Anne is!)...
Oh Hilda! I would Looooove to have a Delicatessen here by the streets! I would surely be a regular!
Delicious photo! I see a big, yummy sandwich coming right up!
yummy! ^-^ but pricey, tee-hee...
is Santi's at mkti its sis company?
I can spot 4 or 5 things right off the bat that make me drool all over my keyboard. You really like tempting us with good food Hilda.
That question about how you want the sausage cut is quite normal here, I mostly go for thick (meaning about 1mm). Our sausages are quite different from these, but I can se much stuff I'll carry home happily!
Looks delicious indeed. Locally made is always better than imported!
oh tasty ones! we too buy it but just once a month and have some at least once a week.
Everything looks delicious! Do you know if they sell "bresaola" and "mortatella" from Italy too? They're my favourite meats. Was your last storm as bad as the previous ones? Hope things are getting normal now. All the best. Ciao. A.
Interesting. It's amazing how much cheaper deli meats are in the US compared to Europe. My husband loves roast beef and he doesn't have to feel bad about eating his fill over here.
Looks like a nice selection you've got there too!
serious yum!
A delicious post dear Hilda!

I am slowly turning more or less willingly into a vegetarian, but this looks really good to me! I remember the day when we discovered some Black Forrest ham in New Delhi, it was like Christmas! But yeah, having more and more problems when eating meat.
I'm getting hungry looking at this photo!
Yum - now this is beautiful sight for my eyes!
