My comment:
(a) pepperoni
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepperoni
Quote:
"Pepperoni is a spicy Italian-American variety of salami (a dry sausage)
"The term pepperoni is a corruption of peperoni, the plural of peperone, the
Italian word for pepper.
"Sodium nitrite, used as a curing agent, is what gives pepperoni the pink
part of its distinct orange-pink color, while paprika or other capsicum
provides the orange part.

I just added the last item to the original posting.
(l) The report quoted in passing: "Purely an Italian-American creation, like
chicken Parmesan."
Regarding chicken Parmesan.

;an): "a very hard dry sharply flavored cheese that is sold grated or in
wedges"
* parmigiana (adj; Italian feminine of parmigiano of Parma, from Parma): "
made or covered with Parmesan cheese "

Parma, Italy) but have different roots.
