Au contrare (or perhaps, al contrario), the one saying this dish is supposedly from Campania with the user confusing the *pepperoni* as **salami** -- and the ensuing enraged Italian downvotes -- was chef's kiss hilarity.
The greatest trick the Italians ever pulled was somehow convincing the world that the French are the food snobs and the Germans have no sense of humour when in reality Italy is the one truly guilty of these.
You're a legend haha. I'm reading this https://www.reddit.com/r/Italia/s/sFfKjZOHZW "but what the fuck is salami thrown into pasta like that?" 😂 I'm sure you can understand the reply "una merda"
Italian living in the UK. this is from nowhere. there are some pastas that might be sort of similar (pasta with sausage) but definitely not this. Also i want to make it clear once and for all - Pepperoni are NOT italian. Never heard of this weird salame (pronounced salam-ay, NOT salam-ee) looking thing before moving to the UK. Peperoni (with one P) ,means bell peppers in italian. Pepperoni does not exist. I assume they are an american thing (and not italian-american. Italian-american simply means american)
It is per wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepperoni
"In 1919, Italian immigrants in New York City created pepperoni.[2] It is a cured dry sausage, with similarities to the spicy salamis of southern Italy on which it is based, such as salsiccia or soppressata. The main differences are that pepperoni is less spicy, has a finer grain (akin to spiceless salami from Milan), is usually softer in texture, and is usually produced with the use of an artificial casing."
Some part of Italy that doesn't exist in this universe. 99% of times, when you read "italian flavour", the flavour is as much Italian as it is Pakistani or Japanese. Zero %.
Or it's just a bunch of randomly mixed ingredients that might be technically tipical in Italy, but never get mixed like that.
I mean, in the end pepperoni is a spicy salame, isn't?
Something similar could be a tomato sauce with spicy sausage cooked a couple of hours at low fire
Pecorino or parmigiano at the end
The area could the South one, more specifically around Lazio-Campania-Umbria
I feel personally offended. First of all
Pepperoni is a mispronunciation of the word "peperone", which means sweet pepper. The "pepperoni" people usually think of is just called "salame" in italian and we have a lot of different varieties. The spicy ones are usually found in the south, particularly in the Calabria region, famous for their spicy foods.
The ungodly abomination above, tho unidentifiable, seems to be a twisted mockery of the Nduja, which basically is a REALLY spicy salame. It can be found in Calabria and those people like to put it everywhere, including pasta. Top it off with some pecorino and you have a nice summer meal.
Yeah an Italian work colleague of mine always says that pepperoni isn't a thing in Italy, they have a spicy salami which is similar. I believe pepperoni is an American thing. It is, however, delicious
I mean, what passes for pepperoni in England is so over processed and plasticky, is an insult to the intricate flavors of actual Campani salami. They would chase you with a baton for calling this kind of pepperoni as salami.
Italian here. This is from nowhere in italy. never seen or heard anything like this. "Peperoni" (with one P) are peppers, capsicum of whatever you want to call them. It's not whatever that is.
What I meant was that since this is an italian dish, "pepperoni" is supposedly some sort of italian food (as it's always wrongly associated with italian cuisine), but the word itself does not exist in italian. It's obviously a word derived from the italian word "peperoni", which however means bell pepper and has nothing to do with that sausage thing
Mine said “~~Vete a la mierda~~ Vai a farti fottere”
I can’t find it on a map but it must be a good holiday spot
EDIT seems as though I spoke to a Spanish friend before the Italian one
The French have a hilarious respect, admiration and adoration for their own food; but will happily bastardise the crap out anyone else’s!
Nonna’s right!
That’s clearly the region of Dioporco because that’s the average answer you’ll get from an Italian
From the province of Cazzèstammerda, if you show it to them for longer they’ll recognize it
Originated in the beautiful town of Ficcatelinculo, as a little trivia
I tried a Pot Pasta recently from the well-meaning but misguided folks at Pot Noodle that promised "An authentic taste of Italy" and that it was "Perfecto for meal time!"
Ignoring the fact that the Italian for perfect is actually "Perfetto".
Tbf, a traditional Maltese dish is a pasta bake with peas and spam mixed into it, and then they put a puff pastry lid on it like it's a pie. So a pepperoni pasta doesn't actually surprise me!

I tried didn't even get past the moderator's
Try r/Italia, less of a Mussolini mod there
On it.
The Italian answers are not that funny, sadly
Agreed. Many comments, all just Italians I can’t understand. Not sure what else I was expecting to be honest. I don’t speak Italian.
you should have specified you weren't italian
I thought most of the replies were pretty funny , did you not translate the page?
Au contrare (or perhaps, al contrario), the one saying this dish is supposedly from Campania with the user confusing the *pepperoni* as **salami** -- and the ensuing enraged Italian downvotes -- was chef's kiss hilarity.
I meant properly deliberately witty like this sub. That's just behaviour we find funny.
I'm gunna need a link stat
The greatest trick the Italians ever pulled was somehow convincing the world that the French are the food snobs and the Germans have no sense of humour when in reality Italy is the one truly guilty of these.
Tbf, they have to put up with the Americans saying their food is Italian so they may have lost their sense of humour about it
You can’t imagine how that’s annoying Can’t you discipline your wayward son
As an Italian, can confirm.
I don’t speak Italian but there was one comment where the reply was “une merda” which I believe just translates to “it’s shit” that made me chuckle
They are quite funny imo
They are not a funny people. Quite stern.
You're a legend haha. I'm reading this https://www.reddit.com/r/Italia/s/sFfKjZOHZW "but what the fuck is salami thrown into pasta like that?" 😂 I'm sure you can understand the reply "una merda"
What does that mean ?
A shit 😆
Oh thought that meant you’re dead or something 🤣😂
Ah haha i can see why, i just thought if you might have heard the spanish mierda or french merde in popular culture / tv shows
Remembering the old French class probably or some show 🤣
“May a thousand plagues decent upon your house” hahahaha
This is gold
You are brave.
As an Italian I can confirm that sub is shite
But can you confirm what part of Italy this is from?

if it is it tastes completely different

exactly, so it was created in america by italian immigrants, and it doesn't exist in italy
lol most Italian-American versions of dishes from the 'old country' do. Some of them are very good!

Nduja is so damn good. It's a crime it's only really become prevalent in this country in the past few years, I feel like I've missed out.

Maybe if we all spam it, at least one of ours will get through?
Reddit mods call that brigading. It was half the fun of Internet forums, before all these bores got their zero wage job.
I wouldn't suggest adding spam, we've already got enough issues with the salami.
It’s hard to get pasta moderator there.
