Pepperoni

From TheBestLinks.com

In English, pepperoni refers to a spicy Italian-American variety of dry salami made of pork and beef. Pepperoni is a descendant of the spicy salamis of Italy, such as salsiccia Napoletana piccante, a spicy pork dry sausage from Naples. Pepperoni is frequently used as a pizza topping in American-style pizzerias. It is the most popular pizza topping in North America, present on at least 30% of all pizzas.

Pepperoni is a corruption of peperoni, the Italian plural of peperone. As an English word, it is used as a singular non-count noun. In Italian, peperone refers to the fruit of a capsicum. Ordering "peperoni" pizza in Italy is often an unwelcome surprise for North American tourists.

Throughout continental Europe, peperoni is the common word for the bell pepper.

It is also a popular flavour of potato chips.
