[the new me]

The frozen pizza thread got me wondering about whether anybody actually likes pepperoni. I remember liking the good stuff from the Italian delis in the Bronx when I was a mere sprout. Ultra-thinly hand-sliced by me and either eaten by itself or occasionally in a sandwich, maybe with some Italian deli hard salami also sliced ultra-thin (but usually by the deli) seemed like something legit to eat. But somewhere along the way I became a pepperoni agnostic, finally ending up a pepperoni apostate. Pepperoni on pizza might have been the reason (meaning I've never cared for it, even when I was still an aficionado), but I think it was grocery store pepperoni that did it. I guess the same is true for salami.

So, what about all y'all? Do you really like pepperoni? Do you only eat it on pizza? Is pepperoni something you think of when you start thinking about what you want to eat?

Enquiring minds want to know.
