What's the difference between salami and pepperoni? That's easy- salami is for sandwiches, along with cheese and mustard, on rye bread. Pepperoni is for pizzas. Although my dad used to put salami and cheese on a single slice of bread, top it with ketchup, salt, and pepper and put it in the toaster oven. He called it "pizza toast." At that age and era, the only pizza I'd ever had came from a Chef Boyardee kit, so I accepted it.
Getting down to brass tacks, salami and pepperoni are both spicy sausages, but that's where the resemblance ends. One has a history that goes back to the Roman Empire, while the other is an 20th century American invention! They are made differently, have different ingredients, and have their own best uses, as I explained above. The YouTube channel Simple Things - Surprising Histories explains it all, plus an important tip for ordering a pizza in Italy. -via Laughing Squid
No. It ain't right, but it's a far sight better than the blue cheese and peach topped thing they also call pizza.
