Sausage girl contacts friend in France (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salami

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sausage' is the definition.
(salami is a kind of sausage)

'girl contacts friend in france' is the wordplay.
'girl contacts' becomes 'sal' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'friend in france' becomes 'ami' ('friend' in French).
'sal'+'ami'='SALAMI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for salami that I've seen before include "Food" , "Italian sausage (a kind of tactics?)" , "Preserved meat sausage" , "Hooked" , "One kind of tactics" .)
