[This beanpole is coming at y’all with an extremely serious and important question, possibly life-altering. The fate of Trench may hang in the balance.]

What is pepperoni made of?

[Oh, he's switching to video just to flick her off. Delightedly.]

Lifelong pizza ban. I'll put a guard at the door just to keep you out.

[fayzedandconfused]

[ CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, she's switching too and Mike's getting a double flip off right back. ]

You'd give a lifetime ban to your best delivery girl?

Peppered Oni's! It's all in the name!

[micycle]

... Okay, I know that's probably a joke, but there are too many people from weird alien planets here to assume it's not a real thing somewhere.

[onekindsoul]

It is a joke!
But I'm also from a planet that is definitely not Earth.
...It's not a thing there but you're totally right that it could be somewhere else.

Pork. Sometimes beef and pork together. Why? Dietary restrictions?

[micycle]

Oh, no, I just- [Gently exasperated sigh!] I'm, uh, kind of trying to invent pizza? Or re-invent, I guess.

Be careful! It might be made of monster meat.

[micycle]

Anything could be made of monster meat. Maybe we're all eating monster eggs and drinking monster milk, too.

I believe it's made up of a mixture of cured beef, pork, and spices, all placed in a casing and left to dry. Why do you ask?

[She refrains from describing the casing, for now. There are some things that people just... don't like finding out about their food.]

[micycle]

[Okay, he understood most of that. But what are you curing the beef of?]

I used to run the pizza place, back in Deerington. I was thinking of maybe opening one here, if I could figure out how.

Dude, everyone knows it's a mixture of ground pork and beef cured with salt and sodium nitrate, and then you add the lactic acid bacteria to preserve its freshness.

Get with it, pepperoni boy.

[micycle]

[This is simultaneously the most and least helpful thing Charlie's ever said to him.]

Okay, but what's cured mean? What do you have to cure it of?

[mactirebeag]

I dunno. What's a pepperoni?

[Mebh has yet to learn that there are more kinds of meat out there than she ever imagined.]

voice > video

[micycle]

[A mixture of ground, cured meats placed into a casing and sliced thinly, but Mike doesn't know all that.]

It's this meat stuff you can put on other stuff. Like pizza, or sandwiches.

[Expert definition.]

( Peter has never once thought about what pepperoni was made out of. Like most things, he's always just eaten it without wondering what he's actually putting in his body.

So he won't even try to be useful here, and instead lets his stomach do the talking. )

Oh, are you gonna make more pizza? The one you made me last month was great.

( ....He really does mean that, 100% sincerely. )

[micycle]

[Thankfully no one can see his cheeks go pink over audio.]

I was just- testing it out, I guess. The idea's to maybe get the pizza place back up and running, if I can.

[From the other room:] It's gonna be mushrooms.

[Shouting back without missing a beat:] You're thinking of pepperocinis.

Look, do you want a pizza place here or not?

I don't wanna know. Keep that shit to yourself if you find out.

[micycle]

Oh, so you don't wanna know about the intestines?

[Certified little shit.]

From pigs, I think? Or at least I could have sworn that's where they came from, given the mascot of the pizza place we had back home was a pig.
