I know you’ve been wondering what I’ve been up to, so I thought I’d pop in and tell you: I’ve been eating these potato chips!pepperoni chorizo pizza france potato chiips
Nevermind that the French don’t have pepperoni pizza here, at least with the same name. When I first came to France I simply didn’t think they had pepperoni pizza as a choice. What a fool I was. They call it “chorizo” here but since I’m from California, I imagined the Mexican chorizo, which is a spicy ground sausage but it’s more like the Spanish chorizo, which is actually pretty close to pepperoni. So. Will the French realize what this is? I guess the picture helps. But oh the mysteries of life continue en France. Oh well. Anyway, these chips are good but it’s only the first chip that tastes like pepperoni pizza. After that one, the rest tastes like bbq (aka paprika in France) potato chips. (NOT knocking those, of course.)

I gotta say though, the pizza they sell in France just isn’t the same as pizza in the US. It’s probably healthier though :)

You know that actually it’s very funny because us, Italians, we laugh at pepperoni pizza because in Italy, a Pepperoni pizza is a pizza with Pepperoni on it, and pepperoni are a vegetable, are: http://www.giallozafferano.it/images/prodotti/peperoni_380m.jpg
So one of the best jokes for us is asking “do you know in America what you can find on a Peperoni pizza? CHORIZO!”
So good to know that for you pepperoni means actually a kind of salami, while the original italian term is the vegetable :)
If you ask for a pepperoni pizza in italy, you’ll have the original vegetarian one :)
Anyway, very nice website!
