Or perhaps the rest of the world is right which is why its in common usage!
Also, when I see pepper I think of spices, not pork, which would make sense when talking about a spicy meat.

Right, like I said, if the rest of the world is saying it, then its correct.
Now I want a pepperoni pizza.

That sounds too complicated. I like Pepperoni more.

You know its funny now that I think about it, but I've never have actually eaten crawdad. I catch them all the time but usually just a couple to throw in the horse trough.

LOL at the second comment! This place reminded me of Pizza Hut in the US! Must be a great place if they're comparable with the second worst pizza joint ever.
All this talk of pizza made got me in the mood for it tonight so I made 2 tonight. For the first I used deer burger, mushrooms, and onions with some spices. And the second was ham (not Canadian Bacon), olives, and pineapple over some New Mexico salsa I had laying around.

One idiot comment out of like 500 and that just negates all the others, right? And whaddya know, he was American. He's either an idiot or just trolling. That just reinforces my point, MD.

Also you can deny it all you want, but the rating is still there and will remain there for all to see. This pizza connoisseur traveled to Italy to try out some of their restaurants, and when he tasted that pizza he used his vast pizza knowledge and he said,'this pizza tastes like Pizza Hut!'. He could have gone with a family owned joint or one of the name brands that uses higher quality goods but he chose Pizza Hut.
I guess that's understandable considering what happens when you try to order pepperoni from the one place in the world that turns it into a vegetable.

Just because you disagree with a review doesn't mean that they are unintelligent. Reviews are simply matters of opinion and your opinion is different than his. And I believe his exact words were 'But it reminded me sooo much of pizza hut back in the US'. Apparently this pizza he ate is reminiscent of his experiences with those that he had at Pizza Hut. Personally, I think that Pizza hut sucks, but that is merely my opinion. Given the review I would probably think that place sucks too.

I didn't miss the title at all. I know that he said they were great. I just noticed that he said they were as great as the 2nd worst pizza joint that we have. And now it looks like you agree because you are telling me that they aren't even in your top ten either, so I would say that's a pretty good confirmation. I'm not writing off the review in the slightest. Remember, I'm the one that took note of it in the first place, and then YOU tried to write it off by calling him a stupid American who doesn't know any better, though now you are praising his praise of the place. I don't know, maybe if they understood the difference between pepperoni and pepperone they could have gotten a higher rating from the guy.

I told you last time that I don't live in Texas. Totally different part of the country.
Aside from that I just understand that the point of this whole conversation was that you said the majority of the world called spicy red pork tubes pepperoni, which is one word, and that Italians called green peppers Pepperone, which is another word. For some reason these 2 words confuse Italians and they mistake a meat for a vegetable, although the 2 are distinctly different. Since this happens you chose to blame everyone else and say they are wrong although you admit that its a term in common usage and is not really wrong, as long as its any location outside of Italy. Maybe if they separate the meats and the vegetables on the menu there would be less confusion.

Well if I must, then I must. When we keep bringing up the word pepper, it's black pepper that keeps coming to mind. That's just me. And I don't know why, but Roni just sounds like a noodle. I know it isn't nor does it come even close, but again, that's just me.
But none of that really matters because I know that Pepperoni is spicy red pork tube, and I know that when I want Spicy red pork tube on my pizza, I will ask for pepperoni, unless of course I'm in Italy for whatever crazy reason, in which case I would look at the menu and figure out what they call it because if I say pepperoni they will mistake it for pepperone and give me a green pepper pizza to which I am not a big fan of (I like Green peppers, just not on pizza), whereas in the states and I'm assuming in other areas I could just say green pepper people will understand what I'm talking about. Lucky for me, this quirk is in only one part of the world and my chances of being part of an awkward situation are slim.
p.s. I love the wiki reference. You aren't still angry that I called you out on the first line reference quoting, are you? My goal was to teach you to read the entire article so that you would see that definitions change over time so you wouldn't accidentally use something from the early 1900's again. Don't fret about it, it's water under bridge, everybody makes mistakes. Remember, knowing is half the battle.

You asked me what the word pepperoni resembled to me, and I answered the question. My apologies if it wasn't the answer that you were looking for, perhaps you should clarify what you would like. Communication is the key after all.
Astenion wrote: It's like calling a pizza with salamino a pepperoni pizza; it's wrong but the vernacular is so common that people overlook it...just don't say it in Italy. The entire rest of the world is literally wrong in this, but no one really bothers to correct it because it's so common (peperoni are bell peppers, not spicy salame). For some reason the rest of the world fails to see the root word "pepper" in "peperone" and thinks it comes from a pig.
Astenion wrote:France doesn't call it that, Germany doesn't call it that, Spain doesn't call it that, Portugal doesn't call it that, Greece doesn't call it that, Czech Republic doesn't call it that, Hungary doesn't call it that, etc. etc.
Well now we have an issue here. Look at the parts that I put in bold. For most of the thread you have been referring to the rest of the world, and then suddenly in that last post you name off 7 countries that also pronounce it differently. So either you lied about the rest of the world, or you lied in your last post.
Astenion wrote:So with that logic, we should stop calling hamburgers "hamburgers" then
Except that hamburgers isn't the definition of a word, it's the word itself. Just like we don't describe shrimp or prawns simply by saying shrimp or prawn.
And I'm impressed that you took the time to shuffle through what, 5 years of posting history now. I have to admit I do it too sometimes, got some real gems in there. I especially like the Shining One saga.

Oh yeah, I say shrimp. That's what the packages tell me.
