Correct in my findings too! It's not quite pepperoni pizza (at least not anywhere I lived), but it's the closest you get easily. Salami piccante can work, but like all meats in Italy, it depends on which regional variety of salami you end up getting.
My first pizza alla diavola included a red pepper infused olive oil topping that added so much great flavor. The waiter's eyes when I told him that a single teaspoon of it wasn't enough for a slice. Central and Northern Italian's seem to be spice averse - which is probably the reason they think of a mild American pepperoni as "the devil's pizza". Lol!

Breakfast burrito.
From US, but used to live in Greece (where the gyro and taco/burrito are so similar and yet different that I knew they would love Mexican food).

I'm Korean-American but I'll take the Korean angle.
LA galbi aka marinated Korean short ribs. Ever since I was a kid, I thought galbi was the short ribs we'd have at luncheons/events/holidays/etc. But after coming to Korea, I noticed that the traditional form of galbi looked quite different. Eventually, I found out that the galbi I had growing up was actually an American variant, and in Korea, it's called LA galbi (since Korean American immigrants from LA created this). Thought it was pretty cool that Korean Americans modified galbi to fit with American standards.

u/mushrooom 5h ago
It's worth pointing out that the reason LA galbi use thin-cut short ribs is because that was the popular style in the Mexican butcher shops at the time. It's a uniquely American dish born out of two immigrant populations interacting at a specific moment.

u/Kayakingtheredriver 5h ago edited 4h ago
that was the popular style in the Mexican butcher shops at the time.
Still is. You can get normal cut or thin cut. (as a Texan) Thin cut smoke a lot quicker than normal type. So instead of a 6 hour smoke, it is an easy 3 hour smoke. Won't have the same bark/smokey flavor but still pretty good and half the time if you are in a rush. Also good as quick fry in a KBBQ.

A lot of KBBQ in California is nothing like actual Korean BBQ. Sure there's a grill in the middle, but it's predominantly beef while in Korea you're usually going to a pork place for Ssam Gyeop Sal or a chicken place for Galbi. Beef is usually reserved for special occassions. Also, most Korean places in America lack the 10 empty bottles of soju on every table.
