This clue could be a double definition.

'sausages for' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'the girlfriend' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for salami that I've seen before include "Garlic- flavoured sausage" , "Highly-spiced sausage" , "Highly seasoned Italian sausage" , "Sausage served sliced" , "Food" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
