List of delicatessens

This is a list of notable delicatessens. A delicatessen is a retail establishment that sells a selection of unusual or foreign prepared foods. Delicatessens originated in Germany during the 1700s.[1] They later spread to the United Kingdom then the United States in the late 1800s during the diaspora of European immigrants.
