No one asked or wanted this comment but pepperoni was first created in NYC about 100 years ago. By Italian immigrants, sure, but that doesn't support my annoying joke ruining reply.
Thanks, so I don't have to be that "actually" guy mentioning that 99% of Italians have never seen pepperonis in their life. You saved me
It wasn't brought back to Italy much?
No, its taste isn't something that Italians would appreciate. It tastes like a cheap mix of a cheap German frankfurter and cheap calabrese 'nduja. It's almost impossible to find it in Italy.
I have never seen it in my life in Italy
Italians were also invented about 100 years ago, meme still holds.
Italy as country is about 160 years old, people living in the Italian peninsula have been called Italians for a few millenia tho

I thought that was just regular salami
