BOLOGNA

This large highly seasoned sausage is name for Bologna, Italy.  The true Italian sausage from Bologna is actually called Mortadella.

Mortadella is the original bologna - a very large smoked sausage (usually pork) from Bologna, Italy, studded with cubes of pork fat, peppercorns and/or pistachios and/or green olives. American bologna (boloney) is a very poor imitation.

Mortadella probably dates back to the 15th century, and the original recipes included myrtle, 'mortella' in Italian, hence the name.

Americans eat 800 million pounds of bologna annually.
