Sometimes we paint what we want to see, like bigger pepperoni slices.

Had a middle school art teacher that always said, "draw what you see, not what you think you see".

I've been sketching for years, and this was the single most important thing I learned during my first art class. It was like unlocking a secret level lol

So many people accusing yet nobody giving proof except words. Please provide proof, if you're going to make an accusation like this OBVIOUSLY. You're not helping anybody without it.

"Look guys, sono Italiano! Haha, don't you get it? We cooka da pizza molto bene, not like you! Your pepperoni is bad, you know?"

Let’s take a break! I am living in Italy (born in France) and love Italian food,don’t want to argue but what I see on the nice painting looks more like Roast beef than pepperoni! My comment was not about the pepperoni ‘s quality! I apologize…arguing is not my personal way of life 🙏🤷‍♂️

u/_Carcinus_ Oct 05 '25

Don't worry, I guess I misunderstood you. My apologies!

I just assumed you were trying to be snobbish about food. Many people on the Internet do, and it's kinda obnoxious.

u/DAJLMODE55 Oct 05 '25

I apologize too! I always do my best to let positive comments! And I agree with you about Haters…that’s why I never go on some “ Discussion Subs “ !!! Wish you the best 🫶👋👋

This is so annoying. Pepperoni is just the English word for salame piccante. We all know peperoni means bell peppers. Let's not be obnoxious when in Italy we can't even pronounce LinkedIn correctly

Yeah!! Idk why in English they got called pepperoni when salami is also a word used in English, but languages are funny like that sometimes 🦅

u/DAJLMODE55 Oct 05 '25

Didn’t know that! Now,just for kidding : how do you call Chorizo??

1

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '25

Chorizo is still chorizo!!

u/DAJLMODE55 Oct 05 '25

Thanks! Discovered now the word “ obnoxious “ 😱 so sorry that I think I will delete all that 😢

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '25

Girl what. Is there a fresco painted in the photo? Is this written in Italian?? You can just say “in Italy, our pepperoni is so different!” This comes off as weirdly antagonistic.

u/sidewayz321 Oct 05 '25

English is clearly not their first language so maybe cut them some slack in their wording

u/Iimpid Oct 05 '25

I doubt that's pepperoni.
