It is clear to all of us that when a culinary masterpiece or just a food product that has become a delicacy appears on the stage, all nations start trying to appropriate the "patent" on it.

And since we will talk about the spicy sausage, already known all over the world under the name Pepperoni, we will try to trace which country could have "claims" on his "patent" and in fact which is more important - who invented it or who gave it so much popularity.

For "patent" over Pepperoni both Italians and Americans can fight. The former invented it, and the latter made it popular all over the world. But take it easy.

In fact, the Italians created the spicy pork sausage, but for the first time American pizza makers included it as a main ingredient in their pizza, named Pizza alla diavola. Today, Pepperoni can be found in many other pizzas, but it is widely used in making Pepperoni and Devil's pizzas.

The classic Italian sausage is made from 70% pork and 30% beef, but there are many other variations of the recipe. In the Caribbean, for example, it is made from either horse or donkey meat, or a combination of both. In some countries it is made from poultry.

But no matter what exactly the meat is (we emphasize that the real classic is the Italian version), it is mandatory to have 3 spices, without which the sausage would not have its characteristic color and taste. These are black and red pepper, as well as garlic. It is they who give Pepperoni its sharper and spicier taste.
