Title: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Draegan on September 11, 2008, 12:42:22 PM Or all three?
I was picking up some groceries a week ago or so and I passed a bag of sliced pepperoni that I imagine is used for making pizza's or something. I like pepperoni so I picked up a package. Now I found myself eating pepperoni at odd times during the day and now I'm a little sad that they're all gone. I have to buy more, it's almost as good as bacon, but you don't have to cook it.

A lot of the meat snacks out there suck, however, and are shameless meat product disguised as proper pepperoni. Oberto used to make the best, but I can't seem to find them anymore.

Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Cyrrex on September 11, 2008, 12:57:47 PM How could pepperoni be considered a dessert? By eating it after dinner? Chopping it up into your vanilla ice cream maybe? Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Evildrider on September 11, 2008, 01:00:27 PM How could pepperoni be considered a dessert? Pepperoni Ice Cream? Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Oban on September 11, 2008, 01:01:14 PM What?
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Evildrider on September 11, 2008, 01:02:01 PM Hey if they can put bacon on donuts.. they can put pepperoni in ice cream!
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Oban on September 11, 2008, 01:04:54 PM Bacon strips and donuts together make sense.
Pepperoni and vanilla ice cream, not so much. Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Signe on September 11, 2008, 01:24:19 PM I only like Hormel pepperoni and it has to be in the stick form, not the bags of pre-sliced, which always taste a bit off to me. The pre-sliced ones are okay crispy cooked on a pizza, though. I am fussy about sausage-y types of "variety" meats.
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: schild on September 11, 2008, 01:48:49 PM Most good donut places put bacon on at least one donut now.
That said Pepperoni si fucking awesome. Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Draegan on September 11, 2008, 01:52:37 PM I'm going to second cold over hot pepperoni. I got Hormels (sp?) last time. I perfer it sliced.
I bet you can put pepperoni on waffles and it's delicious. Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: naum on September 11, 2008, 01:57:56 PM Yes.
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Signe on September 11, 2008, 04:48:18 PM I like cold sliced pepperoni more than hot, too. I just prefer to do the slicing myself. The stick pepperoni tastes different. If you get it in stick form it'll last forever, too.

Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: taolurker on September 11, 2008, 11:54:57 PM I've actually had Pepperoni fried in an Omlette, and if you haven't tried it, you should... Awesome meat that's great for any time of day.
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Bunk on September 12, 2008, 06:24:33 AM Funny finding this thread. My dinner the last two nights has been a package of sliced, dry cured peperoni, jalapeno Havarti, and premium plus crackers.
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Sky on September 12, 2008, 07:02:56 AM I'm like Signe in that I prefer the stick pepperoni over the sliced stuff for anything but pizza. I don't have a preference for cold vs hot, they both have their own flavor that I enjoy. I might slightly lean toward hot, when the fats start liquidating and it develops the maillard reaction. Mmmm....maillard reaction.
My basic roni snack is sliced very sour dill pickle, swiss cheese, roni and a cracker. Usually a rosemary triscuit these days. Used to like Ritz, but they made garlic ritz that I got hooked on and then discontinued them :( When I was a kid, we made lots of pepperoni and sausage bread with the mozzarella and the marinara dip and the mmm.....mmmmm....

Hehe I have had it for all three. Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert?

My father in law brought over some smoked Balognia a couple nights ago, I'm not sold on it. Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: NiX on September 12, 2008, 10:36:12 AM My roomie microwaves pepperoni on a plate and then licks the grease off. I gag every time I catch him going for the grease.
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Draegan on September 12, 2008, 10:46:52 AM What happens to the pepperoni?
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Evildrider on September 12, 2008, 10:50:25 AM He places them on his body so that it looks like he has a whole bunch of nipples.

So it's not just me? This is best when you are going to the pool. Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Evildrider on September 12, 2008, 11:11:09 AM Or they can be used as pasties!
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: FatuousTwat on September 12, 2008, 11:43:01 AM I don't think the spoiler thing works for images? Or am I the only one not seeing this picture of peperoni covering some BEEG AMERICAN TEE TEES (sorry I was in the GTAIV thread...).
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Sky on September 12, 2008, 11:46:15 AM It works and I'm hungry!
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: HaemishM on September 12, 2008, 11:56:07 AM Doesn't work for me, but then none of the spoiler tag shit works for me.
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: Evildrider on September 12, 2008, 12:36:35 PM Hmm I see it. :(
Title: Re: Pepperoni: Snack, Meal or Dessert? Post by: FatuousTwat on September 12, 2008, 02:14:48 PM Hmmm... Text spoilers work for me, but the image ones don't. Shrug, I'll just quote them and copy/past the link manually.
