Cool!
Hope other ham products have fallen in price.
Lots of them are worthy substitutes.
OH NOES! Seriously, though, there are a lot of other cuts of Italian ham and sausage product you can top your pie with if you really need to scratch that itch. And I’m not such a topping snob that I won’t go for one with the right veggies on it. 75% of the quality is in the sauce, the dough, and the means of baking, anyway (try wood-smoked and/or hearth baked.)
I make my own pizza and use ham, onions, mushrooms, sometimes pineapple because my wife likes it. I never use pepperoni. Too greasy for me.
I’m one of the few people I know who doesn’t like pepperoni, so I have no idea how much it costs.
However, pork chops and most other cuts of pork have had good sale prices lately.
One exception is Jimmy Dean roll sausage (top-rated brand) which I was getting on sale for $3/lb, but now goes on sale for $3.5/lb.
Ham ain’t cheap. I’m seeing about the same prices on packaged “deli” ham, but ham steaks, cubed ham, and half or whole hams are pretty expensive right now. I’m counting on producers seeing the high prices which should be an inducement to increase supply. But I read an article recently that said adhering to the pandemic protocols is slowing down the production process.
It appears things won’t return to normal until either a vaccine becomes available or the US develops a herd immunity. I’m hoping for the former.
In the last days there will be a famine of pepperoni.
Hope they don’t use that fake halal crap and pass it off as real pepperoni like in Singapore, the UK and the Middle East . Shiite is nasty.
They are not looking in the right places. Just yesterday I saw a huge pallet of John Morrel Pepperoni at Costco.
Now, pepperoni has apparently fallen victim to the pandemic.
Verily, the end of days is upon us.
I am growing my own meat
I ordered chickens online- I started with 12, and after incubating some eggs I had over 30 at one point, processed them and had a freezerful for a year
I grew 40 more, but the hawks got 30 of them. So it’s been a bad summer- I can easily see how one bad day of not watching them closely enough could result in starvation from the predators eating most of the crop
The predators have been crazy this year! I never had this much of a problem
another major crisis.....
Best part of the old spaghetti westerns was when they would shoot a hole in a slice of pepperoni tossed into the air.
Pizza pepperoni shortage!! A sure sign that the Apocalypse is nigh!
Now back to our regular programming...
One of my daughters used to date a kid who preferred bacon on his pizza. I came to acquire that taste after some time.
A continuation of the “We’re all gonna die” panic.
Back in March, the Nazi media was beating the bacon and sausage shortage drum. Didn’t happen. Now it’s pepperoni. Next month it will be a sliced bologna and canned tuna shortage.
Government dietary experts have concluded that pepperoni is too risky for the general public and should only be consumed by, ah, government dietary experts. You’ll eat your pineapple and like it, citizen!
