"Pepperoni" Pizza at the Dukes

[Shah Jahan]

confirm for me or ..

the pepperoni pizza at the dukes is actually salami. .

true or false?

Why ask us, why not ask The Dukes!

[Thighlander]

Pepperoni is always pork, good salami is beef. Salami can be aged at room temp in some regions. Both can be cut an infinite number of ways. Salami is leaner.

Simple question..not really scandalous, unless we are calling hot dogs "sausages." In fact, isn't that Pizza Co pepperoni a lot like sliced hot dogs?

Perhaps a Thai might answer.

Is the pepperoni pizza made with salami?

Yes.

Or pepperoni?

Yes.

Many Thais don't eat beef.

In the not too distant past, many grew up around water buffaloes. They contributed to the cultivation of rice. Rice is sacred for many Thais.

All I know is, the Duke's is one of the few local places where the pizza tastes like real pizza and the pepperoni tastes like real pepperoni. I don't care what kind of meat they use really - it tastes fine for being in Thailand - and the spices are (pretty close to being) right.

When it comes to Western food in Thailand, you do the best that you can. Beggars can't be choosers.

That Thai would be correct since Pepperoni is a variety of Salami.

The good thing about threads like this is that when you go looking to find answers you don't know, you often end up finding something interesting. In this case: A recipe for West Virginia Pepperoni Rolls....

[Thighlander]

yeah, I noticed the same thing Chicog. Pepperoni uses fake casing and Salami is rel intestine. So, I think there are many similarities, but if you were in a cafe in Southern Italy; you would have salami with your wine and cheese. If you were in Detroit with couple of brothas; the Dominoes man would bring you a pizza with pepperoni, because they don't sell salami. San Francisco is famous for salami, because it can be aged without artificial cooling or heating. I think you're going to get more lips and dicks in the pepperoni.

Is Meals on Wheels still running, and delivering Duke's pizzas?

I think the 2nd post was as far as this thread needed to go.

thanks guys. I read that it had closed, and couldn't locate it. Facebook and Google Earth both gave different locations.

I think what the OP is referring to is American style pepperoni which is a mixture of beef and pork and has a fair amount of chili pepper in it. There is also available here pepperoni made by TGF which tastes more like a traditional salami as it is all pork. Not sure if there is even such a thing as pepperoni in Italy.

yes, probably correct. Im reffering to "american peppeorini" I guess, as it is on 95% of all pizzas you get in America. Whatever else is defined as "pepperoni" is not what I am reffering to.

Now this being thailand I wouldn't actually expect any place that says "pepperoni" to actually be pepperroni, but seeing that the dukes

is the dukes and there is an (amercain) duke behind it who states that he loves to eat, I would think that "pepperorini" means "pepperoni" not something else. . .

so. . I guess we will call it salami and continue our quest

(side question: anywhere in CM serve a real "amercain pepperoni" pizza?)

If you ask for a pizza with peperoni in Italy you will get a pizza with red peppers on it. (Note the absence of the third 'p'.) A spicy salami is about as close to American style pepperoni as one will find in an Italian pizzeria.

95%? less than 50%, actually. The only places I've heard of where you wouldn't have a choice, would be elementary schools and prisons.

Never heard such unmittigated rot in my life. Yes a great number if Thais do not eat beef, but nothing to do with rice and buffaloes. Many have a genetic allergy to beef products, and it results in a nasty rash, usually on the arms and shoulders.

Went to this study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3563019/ of asian food allergies and no mention at all was made of allergies to beef. If you want to hear unmitigated rot, just pay attention to what you say..

The Thai people I know who won't eat beef - and there are lots - complain that beef has too strong a flavor and odor.

[arunsakda]

I think The Duke's "Italiano" is best.

Non sure the meals on wheels menu is entirely accurate as I am sure it had green olive as well, could be wrong.

Love the pepperoni they use at Mr. Chan's. Definitely my favorite pepperoni I've had anywhere.

Ahh. but the Dukes is not an Italian Pizzeria. . it is an "amercain" place

Hmm.. would you consider it comprable to "amercain pepperorini"

Baseline defintion for the internet sleuths and euros for amercain pepperonoi is same same you get at dominos. . :-)

A popular brand of pepperoni in USA is Hormel pepperoni. Great taste! Tried to get Rimping to import, but no luck, so I often bring a couple of sticks myself and add to a take-out pizza to eat at home. Could never find "real" USA pepperoni in Chiang Mai. Thai-German pepperoni just isn't same - it's salami (ugghhhh!
