minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•12 days 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
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•11 days agoYes, peperoncini are a bit like chili. Peperoni is literally “bell peppers” though. Peperone in singular. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/italian-english/peperone
