NATIONAL BOLOGNA DAY
Each year on October 24, people across the nation celebrate National Bologna Day. This would be a good day to have a bologna sandwich for lunch.
Sometimes spelled baloney (as it is pronounced), bologna has been one of the more popular luncheon meats for decades.
Favorite bologna sandwich garnishes are mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomato and onion.
Bologna is derived from and is somewhat similar to the Italian mortadella (a finely hashed/ground port sausage) that originated in Bologna, Italy.
United States government regulations require American bologna to be finely ground and without visible pieces of lard.
Bologna can alternatively be made out of chicken, turkey, beef, pork, venison or soy protein.
Bologna Bowl – When a slice of bologna is heated, the fat renders and the round slice takes the shape of a bowl which may be filled with cheese or other fillings.
