Pepperoni

Pepperoni is a type of spicy Italian-American sausage made primarily from cured pork and beef, seasoned with paprika, chili peppers, and other spices. It is typically sliced thin and has a distinct tangy, smoky flavor with a slightly chewy texture. Widely used as a topping on pizzas and in sandwiches, pepperoni adds a savory, flavorful kick. The curing process helps preserve the meat and enhances its taste, while the spices give it its characteristic spiciness. Its rich flavor and crispy edges when cooked make it a popular choice for many meat lovers.
