A Selection of Pepperonis

Confession for confession, I am not particurlaly enamoured with Pepperoni. Me that do grow Chillies, I find that Cured Sausage to have a very strong, spicy and peppery taste. However if I don't order it upon a Pizza by choice, if I am invited or a guest and the Pepperoni is staring me in the face upon a dish, I will not pull a fuss and ask for the Pepperoni to be removed. I will simply eat them.

Is it a matter of love and hate with the good old Pepperoni?

All I do know is that some people adore them and some are not so keen about them. Mind you the same does apply in some way with Ham and Pineapple Pizza (known as the Hawaiien on many Menus) which have its Lovers and its Detractors. Anyhow I know many who are fond of Pepperoni so much so that if they have to order a Pizza it will have to be a double Pepperoni one. (Martyn, Leon, Pascal, Sly, Ted... to name but a few)

Funny enough, it is mainly my male acquaintances who love the Pepperoni so much. And I wonder if there is a little anthropological study which could be done upon this simple suggestion, which could be utterly bonkers, which consists in holding a poll to many asking them their favourite Pizza but also their gender. My assumption so far is that it is mainly a man choice to prove that they do like it hot and spicy but that women on overall have a broader choice when it comes to it and will choose whatever Pizza on a Menu which pleases them most that day. As I say it is just an assumption and maybe a very silly one at that.

Thick or thin for Pepperoni slices, this is the question. The matter of fact is, in my humble opinion, that the thinner is the better option to have more versatility of use of a Pepperoni Sausage. It doesn't really matter if you have a small slice or a wide slice if they are thin, the matter is to be able to use them in more than one way than just upon the top of a Pizza. You can then had the pepperiness of that Cured Sausage to different dishes like a Stromboli.
