Tell me about bologna (thing to eat)?

Question

What is it like? Do you like it?

Answer 1

it is a fine ground sausage....like a hotdog or frankfurter. Usually made of pork and beef, sometimes has chicken or turkey in it. VERY FATTY. Most people in the USA eat it as a sandwich meat.

Answer 2

My bologna has a first name, it's... oh, sorry, we got carried away by a wave of childhood nostalgia. But a few searches on "bologna meat," "bologna meat history," and "bologna recipe" turned up some tasty answers to your questions.

Bologna is a cooked, smoked sausage made of cured beef, pork, or a mixture of the two. A typical recipe for this sausage uses seasonings such as salt, sugar, pepper, and spices, plus a curing mixture that includes sodium nitrite to prevent botulism. While beef and pork are the most traditional bologna meats, exotic fare such as moose and venison can even be used. Small boutique bologna makers tend to use choice cuts of meat, but large manufacturers may use almost any part of the carcass, including organ meats, trimmings, and end pieces from other meat processing.

The meat is ground and chopped very fine, and at the big bologna factories, it's pureed so the machines can pour into casings. Like other sausages, bologna is covered in either a natural casing made from the gastrointestinal tracts of cattle, sheep, and hogs, or a synthetic casing made of collagen, fibrous materials, or even plastic. All bologna is cooked and smoked to pasteurize it, so it's ready to eat when you buy it.

American bologna sandwich meat got its name from the northern Italian town of Bologna. But this favorite of kid's lunches is not the same as the distinctively spiced Italian original, called mortadella or mortadella bologna and made in the villages around Bologna, a major trading spot. Traders may have picked up the sausage in Bologna, and the town became identified with the sausage. By the late 19th century in England and America, "bologna" had become the generic name for any type of pork sausage from the Italian town.

So bologna didn't start with Oscar, but he sure made it fun for American kids.

Answer 3

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.

It tastes like hot dogs - only it's lunch meat.

Answer 4

If a person worked in the factory.. probably would not eat it. Same as hot dogs.. All kinds of "strange stuff" goes in there. Personally I do not eat bologna or hot dogs.

Answer 5

The only type I'll eat is beef bologna made by Oscar Mayer. The other types are simply nasty.

Answer 6

I like it because I don't have to eat it if I don't want to anymore, like when I was a child. It is really tasty on very fresh white bread with mayo.

Answer 7

It has a first name, its o-s-c-a-r

Answer 9

Well it does taste good. But I dont think it is good for you. Too much myster meat and preservatives, with too much salt and fat. I dont feed it to my kids and I wont eat it.

Answer 10

I don't eat anything that has a first name.
