Among encased-meat products, handmade sausage is the most delightful, followed closely by a saddlebag filled with jerky and a can of Spam crammed inside a larger can of Spam. Encase meats in your stomach with today's Groupon to Montalbano's Italian Food Specialties in Staten Island. Choose between the following options:

• For $15, you get $35 worth of Italian deli selections.

The epicurean delismiths at Montalbano's Italian Food Specialties curate a mouthwatering collection of fresh cheeses and house-made italian sausages. The deli menu houses more cold cuts than Jack Frost's Christmas album, including the five-meat and cheese Monte Special ($8.50 for hero; $6.50 for roll) or the warm veal parmigiana ($8 for hero; $6 for roll). Homemade sausages, sopprasatta, and capicolla snuggle inside gourmet godfather wraps ($8) and grilled vegetable vegetarianos woo tongue buds with grilled veggies and fresh mozzarella ($7). On the lighter side, veritable gardens toss and turn with chicken cutlets to form antipasto Pauley salads for two ($15), which please dining duos with more facility than a tandem fork.

Alternatively, today's second option lines customers' dining-room tables or oversize pockets with any hot food items on the catering menu. Half trays ($40+) transport heaping helpings of steaming pastas, flaky fish, and chicken marsala from the store to office functions or at-home competitive-eating competitions.
