Who discovered baloney?

Answer 1

"Bologna sausage is an American version of the Italian mortadella (a finely hashed/ground pork sausage with lard pieces). The American version can alternatively be made out of chicken, turkey, beef, pork, or soybeans. It is commonly called bologna and often pronounced and/or spelled baloney."

"Bologna sausage is commonly believed to be created from lowly scraps of meat cuts. It is assumed that this food, therefore, is the origin of the slang word baloney, meaning "nonsense" or "BS". However, the origin of the word "Baloney" is a corruption, through the French, of the city of Bologna, Italy. As the university at Bologna was known for its legal education, the French, and later English, came to call legal clap-trap "Balogna," or 'Baloney.'"

Answer 2

The Earl of Bologna in 1338. An Italian nobleman given to somewhat exaggerating the truth, Giovanni, fourth Earl of Bologna, was playing cards with his good friend, the Earl of Sandwich when the inspiration for his signature dish suddenly struck him.

"Hey, Earlie Babee, you bringa da bread, and I'ma gonna go inventa some lunchameat. Dat way, we donna gotta stop playin' ta eat!"

In all seriousness, I don't think anyone really knows where baloney originated. It's probably a variation on salami and other "ground meat in casings" that were popular in Germany and various other countries.

On the whole, however, I still prefer my version of the story.
