B-o-l-o-g-n-a is actually named after the Italian city of the same name, but there they call it mortadella, which is a sausage with bits of lard and peppercorns in it. American Bologna, as you may have noticed, is distinctly different, but no less loved the world over. During the Great Depression, bologna was one of the most accessible foods to Americans. It was affordable and it kept well for long periods of time. and it's so versatile... It can be fried and thrown on toasted bread with pickles, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. It can be served cold with thick slices of cheddar and white bread. It can be chopped up and mixed with crumbled, hard boiled eggs, mayo, and veggies for a bologna salad. Bologna can be made from any number of meats, including beef, turkey, venison, chicken, and even a vegetarian soy protein.
