Toward the end of the shame spiral that was our diet while in Virginia, I indulged in a trashy old fave: the Totino’s Party Pizza. (DON’T JUDGE. It tastes of America in every way possible, and was like getting a warm hug from Uncle Sam).
I couldn’t help but notice that they’ve changed the name of the “Sausage & Pepperoni” version to the dubious-sounding “Sausage & Pizza Topping with Pepperoni Seasoning“. I did a quick google search to find out WTF it means (after eating it, so that I wouldn’t be talked out of doing the delicious deed). Without going into details, it involves various mechanically separated animals and unnatural flavorings, but I think this dude said it best:
Should I be worried about eating something that cannot legally be called pepperoni? Or should it just be considered par for the course in the $1.50 frozen pizza buying experience?
As with my other mechanically-separated shame food, the Slim Jim, this peek behind the curtain does nothing to diminish my love for the Party Pizza. Long live PTWPS!
pepperoni curtain? hmmmm sounds shockingly similar to beef…
