minus-square13igTyme@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 day agoYou’re thinking of peperoncino, a spiced chilli pepper also known as sweet Italian peppers. We still have salami in the US.

minus-squarejenesaisquoi@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoYes, peperoncini are a bit like chili. Peperoni is literally “bell peppers” though. Peperone in singular. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/italian-english/peperone
