Pepperoni is a variety of salami. It is an Italian version made with pork and beef and is a bit spicier than most salami. In fact, if you are in Italy you would order 'hot salami' if you wanted pepperoni, the Italian name being salame piccante or salamino piccante.

What is pepperoni?
Pepperoni is a Italian meat, that people use to cook with, and eat with sauces.Pepperoni is a spicy Italian-American variety of salami (a dry sausage) usually made from curedpork and beef,[1][2] but poultry may be added, if labeled correctly, for less expensive versions.[3]Pepperoni is characteristically soft, slightly smoky, and bright red in color. [4] It is a descendant of the spicy salamis of southern Italy, such as salsiccia Napoletana piccante, a spicy dry sausage from Naples or the soppressata from Calabria, but unlike these sausages it is smoked and has a finer grain. Sodium nitrite, used as a curing agent, is what gives pepperoni the pink part of its distinct orange-pink color,[1] while paprika or other capsicum provides the orange part. Thinly sliced pepperoni is a popular pizza topping in American-style pizzerias. Also, it is sometimes used to make sub sandwiches.The term pepperoni is a corruption of peperoni, the plural of peperone, the Italian word for pepper(the fruit, not the spice). The first reference using pepperoni to refer to a sausage dates to 1919.[4] Throughout continental Europe, peperone is a common word for various types of capsicum, including bell peppers and a small, spicy and often pickled pepper known aspeperoncino or peperone piccante in Italy and peperoncini or banana peppers in the U.S. Unlike in Europe, the English word pepperoni is used as a singular uncountable noun.To order a very similar food in Italy, one would request salamino piccante to get a spicy sausage made only of pork and beef. Usually the Italian name for a pepperoni pizza is pizza alla diavola(pizza devil-style, very similar in appearance to the pepperoni pizza). Asking for a pizza with "salamino piccante calabro" or "spianata calabra" (hot salami typical of Calabria, generally made in large cylinders of meat, slightly flattened in the case "spianata") one could get a pizza covered with large slices of salami instead of the slices of hot sausage. The original salami from Calabria can be much spicier than American pepperoni or other types of Italian spicy sausages.Halal or kosher pepperoni may be made from beef or poultry.

Hard salami is German in origin and Genoa Salami is Italian. Genoa has more fat than Hard, but is more tasteful and softer to chew. Hard salami has smoke flavor added and Genoa has little seasoning, but is tasty as well. Being Italian myself, I prefer Genoa salami. Hard salami tends to taste just like a big pepperoni slice.

Are cats allowed to eat danish salami?
There are no rules or regulations about cats eating Danish salami. If you cat likes it, he will eat it. Maybe if it is spicy your cat won't like it, but I can assure you it is not against the law.HoweverSpicy foods will not agree with many cats, and too much can cause dehydration, as well as diarrhea. So it's best not to feed cats things like pepperoni and salami.
