Talk:Bologna sausage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Entry feels much too short. It does not at all discuss what it's actually made out of or what it is that gives it the distinctive flavor. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.18.162.88 (talk • contribs) 19:56, 15 June 2006 UTC.
Is there any reason for the inconsistency in spelling of baloney/boloney and bologna/balogna?
I've lived in Pittsburgh for over 20 years. Nobody *ever* calls it Jumbo here, and I even worked in a deli for awhile. I've seen the term 'Jumbo Bologna' here once in awhile, but never just 'Jumbo'.

[edit] Source of slang "Baloney"
The notion of Baloney meaning Nonsense might derive from someone who tried to make a lowly item appear fancy. Rube Goldberg wrote in one of his early 20th C. cartoons: "No matter how thin you slice it, it's still Baloney" IE: still a cheap sausage, not a fancy cold cut. --Saxophobia 23:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
