minus-square13igTyme@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·5 hours agoYou’re thinking of peperoncino, a spiced chilli pepper also known as sweet Italian peppers. We still have salami in the US. I’d guess pepperoni is called that because it’s dried salami with pepper seasoning. I found a link just randomly googling. https://www.thoughtco.com/you-say-pepperoni-3972377
