Everything about Pepperoni totally explained
Pepperoni is a spicy Italian-American variety of dry
salami usually made from pork and beef and sometimes
goat, turkey, or fish. It is a descendant of the spicy salamis of Southern
Italy, such as
salsiccia Napoletana piccante, a spicy dry
sausage from
Naples. Pepperoni is frequently used as a
pizza topping in
American-style pizzerias. Also, it's sometimes used to make
sub sandwiches. Carrying the title of the literal
Italian translation of "
peppers", Pepperoni is often recognized as the American counterpart to
chorizo, which is usually similar in color and flavor. Due to the wide variety of pepperoni recipes, some people experience allergic reactions to only certain types of pepperoni.
Pepperoni is a
corruption of
peperoni, the
Italian plural of
peperone. While in Italian
peperoni refers to
bell peppers, in
Italian-American cuisine the word "pepperoni" evolved to indicate a kind of spicy sausage.
To order the American version of pepperoni in Italy, someone would request
salame piccante or
salamino piccante (hot salami, generally typical of
Calabria). The Italian name for a pepperoni pizza is
pizza alla diavola (with hot sausages).
Throughout
continental Europe,
peperone is a common word for various types of
capsicum including
bell peppers and a small, spicy and often pickled pepper known as
peperoncino or
peperone piccante in Italy and
pepperoncini or banana peppers in the US.
Unlike in Europe, the
English word, pepperoni, is used as a
singular uncountable noun.
