Please forgive me for stapling bologna to your face

@Elessar Bologna sausage. Most always shortened to bologna.

@canusernamebemyusername I've searched it and I'm even more confused, because it doesn't exist in Bologna, but apparently only in north America. 🥴

I guess they saw this and thought it was a sausage, whomever brought that one up

@Elessar Is that mayonnaise in the meat loaves things? And what's that giant biscuit thing in the back right?

@Elessar Yeah it is an Americanized version of mortadella. The American one is obviously bland though. lol

@uncleshawn brb, calling an exorcist

@canusernamebemyusername I'd want to be in the mind of the first who saw a mortadella and decided it was a sausage, just to admire the confusion, lol

@Elessar That's me. First time I bought some was in the Middle East. A ton of it sold in the Middle East for some reason. I didn't know what it was and bought some. Uh....unpleasant surprise.

@Elessar Cant say what the first person was thinking but sausage means seasoned with sage so if it ever had that in it that might be the origin. IDK though.

@canusernamebemyusername Ah. I thought they were these, exclusively

@Elessar Yeah I get that. I know in America at least if a sausage gets to the size of mortadella/bologna (american spelling baloney) then it is referred to as a luncheon meat regardless of seasonings or history.

Oh, gotcha. Over here we're stricter with what we define "salsiccia" I suppose.

Yeah, I bet the -gn- in Bologna generated confusion in the pronunce too lol, Baloney sounds like a completely different word. The sound is basically the same as ñ in Spanish.

@Elessar Language is fun sometimes. Except when learning it. lol

@canusernamebemyusername Agreed, lol. Anyone who ever attempted learning French can probably confirm 😬
