  1. I read somwhere that usually one cooks pepperoni, such as on pizza. But salami is eaten raw.

    • Salami is already cooked, but cold. Peperoni too, so it is not eaten raw, but peperoni is more often used on things like pizza, which will cook it for a second time.

  2. 80% of what calories? The lunchtime meal? A pizza? What nutritional benefits? The macro-nutrients animal fat and protein?

  3. Pepperoni – an american ‘salami’
