talk to me about salami - is it too salty for DD?

[brightongirldownunder]

After 10 months of hell with her hating food she's finally eating everything as long as it has flavour (i.e.no mash, bread or plain pasta). She's 17m now and loves anchovies, olives and as I found today salami. She only tried a bit from DH's plate, but I'm presuming its packed with salt? She's getting a very balanced diet so I'm not worried, but I love watching her try new things and don't want to stop her unless its deemed bad for her.
By the way, I don't eat red meat so I really don't know how salty it is.

It is really salty (but actually so are olives and anchovies). Don't worry though just make sure that she doesn't eat it everyday and perhaps go easy on things with hidden salt (like baked beans or fishfingers).

Thanks witch. She has very little processed food, apart from ham and an occasional tin of wiggles spaghetti. So I think I'll keep this as another treat food then.

Another reason to keep it as a treat food is that it is really fatty, and we're talking "bad" fats here. Maybe ok for now but come teenager/adulthood it's not a good thing to be eating every day.
