Pepperoni is an American invention…
Pepperoni is an American invention. It’s similar to the spicy salamis of southern Italy, but it also has elements characteristic of German sausages (smokiness, beef content, and fine grind). In Italian, “peperoni” just means “bell peppers”.

Owing to a surge in production at the end of the 19th century, oysters became cheaper than meat, poultry, and fish, making them a popular dish on working class tables in the United States and Europe. This period of mass production is known as the Golden Age of Oysters. New York is right next to […]

Tumblr Users Discussed the Mouth-Itching World of Fruit Allergies
The thing about food allergies is that some people don’t even realize they have them.
Recently a Tumblr thread went viral with users talking about their physiological responses to certain foods and mostly making light of the allergies.
It started when user @circusbutch posted about their love of orange juice, and the nostalgia it evokes.

Good on @spacefroggity for not simply scrolling on by.
I have family members whose tongues itch when they eat certain fruits, otherwise I would not have known this was a thing.
Another user responded with either a mistyped question or statement about the OJ inducing itchy tongue.
Then another poster reposted an old conversation with @kramergate describing their their own potato allergy–and how, like many of us, it doesn’t stop them from enjoying potatoes!

Potato sweats. That sounds pretty horrifying if I’m being honest.

I mean, I like fries as much as the next person (or maybe not), but usually when I have an adverse reaction to food I’m less inclined to eat in the future.
Like ice cream. And wheat.
And mushrooms. (shudder)
Other users went on to describe additional bad reactions to different kinds of fruit.
@darkersolstice talked about kiwis which, fun fact, I learned were in the melon family when I gave one to my then-boyfriend and his tongue swelled up.

I had to go verify that claim, because depending on how fresh it is, I absolutely have that burning sensation with pineapple.
And @solarpunkarchivist is right! According to Spoon University:
Pineapple is the only food known to contain bromelain, an enzyme that digests protein. The truth is, pineapple hurts to eat because bromelain is digesting the tender skin inside of your mouth.
The pineapple is eating you.
Wow.
Another user chimed in about peanut allergies and @demonsgold had enough.

But the very best comment came at the end of the thread.

I’m with you @calamity-ashley. That’s what I focused on too.
Do you have any foods that you didn’t always know you were allergic to? Tell us in the comments.

Check Out the Viral “Popcorn Salad” Recipe That Has People Horrified
You’ve most likely heard the saying that there’s “no accounting for taste,” which basically means when it comes to things like food and fashion, people like what they like and there’s really no point in trying to change it.
That said, when someone claims to be a professional chef, though, you should be able to have some professional trust that the recipes they share are – at the very least – not completely horrifying.
That’s not the case with this recipe from chef Molly Yeh, who is completely adorable and typically super duper charming.
Image Credit: Food Network
Yep, super cute.
But you know what’s NOT super cute? This mess.
Image Credit: Food Network
No one on Twitter, though, is being charmed by the combination of popcorn and mayonnaise.
Yeh is an American cookbook author, blogger, and host of the Food Network cooking show Girl Meets Farm. She incorporates her Jewish and Asian heritage into her cooking, with a sprinkle of Midwestern for good measure, and everything usually comes out looking delicious.
That said, this monstrosity of mayonnaise, popcorn, and various vegetables?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

“Popcorn salad is one of those classic Midwestern dishes that you would often find in a church basement potluck.”
I’m sorry… I live in the Midwest and I have NEVER heard of this. From anybody. Anywhere.
Now, while Molly admits that the ingredients sound weird, she swears that the final result is delicious. Her salad included peas, carrots, shallots, mayo, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and Dijon mustard – and, of course, the popcorn.
She finished the dish off with some watercress and celery leaves.

The friends she invited over expressed surprise – even the ones from the Midwest, where the dish is supposedly popular – but swore they were pleasantly shocked at the result.
The good people of the internet think everyone involved are lying liars, as is evidenced by their hilarious replies.
I mean…does that look like an honest face to you?

That’s probably where plates of this are going to end up. Rightfully so.

You do have to get behind that idea, I don’t care who you are.
Only thing making sense here is using a spoon to eat popcorn out of the bowl. Everything else is a sharp no. pic.twitter.com/eWTaDBzM3s

The video has gone completely viral, with over 3M views, and not one person has said they’re thinking about trying it.

What about you? Is this going on your “must try” Pinterest board?
I’m from the Midwest. My parents are from the Midwest, and that story goes back for several generations, and no one – not one person – has ever thrust a popcorn salad into my hands at a potluck.
I don’t think I’ll be the one to start the tradition.
I’m just saying.
