Kale pesto (on a german salami sandwich)

Pesto Italian cuisine

Last spring we went to Frankfurt for a conference. After the conference we decided to do some travel through western Germany and eastern France. The Germans love pig products and serve it at every meal and I gained about 6 lbs. in a week. One seemingly ubiquitous snack was the salami sandwich. Mainly it was just salami and bread, sometimes salami, butter and bread and more rare but also spotted salami and cheese. I picked these up almost everyday for our lunch as it seemed to be a sound and durable road snack. I found riding around in a Spanish station wagon across the German countryside eating salami sandwiches very charming.
