Article Abstract:
Aoste, the French processed meats company, recommends reorganising the processed meats in self-service departments around use, according their function in the meal, and when they are eaten. Aoste suggests beginning the section, in the direction which people move, with ready-to-eat products, such as entrees, (meat paste, rillettes, foie gras, cooked sausage, and mixed uses (salt meats, poultry ham, cooked ham, and ham shoulder). These should be followed by products to cook, (cooking ingredients) and main dishes.
