And you don't get to blame just the Americans for this one. I know for a fact its just a popular in Canada. Especially Newfoundland where my dad grew up. Its one of several sliced lunch meats that are sold packaged for sandwiches. Each slice fits pretty well on a slice of bread. Charlie and I both like Olive Loaf or Pickle and Pepper loaf too. You don't qualify as a true baloney fan until you've eaten if fried. When first manufactured, it looks like a very fat sausage or salami, about 4 inches in diameter. A deli will get it in that form, and slice off individual slices when it is ordered by a customer. The stuff you buy in the store already sliced is probably not as good quality, but is essentially the same thing, but pre-sliced.

I did eat a lot of bologna as a child, but it doesn't make me gag now. Not that I eat it any more; there's so much tastier stuff around. It's a sausage-like substance of a kind of smooth bland consistency and smooth bland taste, sold in waxy casings, or sliced, and eated as is or fried. Very cheap and filling, and probably named after something much more tasty from back in some Old Country or other. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bologna_sausage -- Cheryl |

I've seen it mentioned and sounds like it's some sort of salami, which over here is usually found in deli's with a deli price tag attached Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Bologna is a popular sandwich "meat" that low income people here rely on to feed their kids quickly and satisfyingly. It does not have as much flavor as salami, and no little peppercorns like some salami does here. It is a "processed" meat product made from body parts of animals you would turn your nose up at or worse if you had them placed before you alone and not hidden in a harmless-looking cheap sandwich sliced meat product. Loaded with preservatives, bad fat, cholesterol....all the better to clog your arteries. Sadly, this meat product as well as its sister processed product, "hot dogs", is heavily and frequently marketed on tv here, with its own little ditty sung by adorable small children. I do eat hot dogs and love them, but am a total snob about them and will only eat all beef, kosher ones, marketed by a totally different conglomerate food outfit, whose marketing is aimed strictly to adults. Believe me, during the great depression we were thrilled with baloney sandwiches. As a kid, we called it ham baloney -- and that is no baloney. MLB |

We have something similar that's called 'lauantaimakkara' in Finnish. That means 'Saturday sausage'. :P I did eat it as a child, but I haven't touched it since my teens. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

"Matthew" "Jofirey" "Lesley" On Dec 4, 9:09 am, Cheryl there's nothing like crusty homemade white bread, warm from the oven and slathered with butter. When I was a kid there was a bakery about half a mile away that baked on the premises and on a Saturday one of us would be sent down there to get a "seeded crusty bloomer" and if you got there early enough it would be warm from the oven and you'd dash home before it got cool and mum would reward whoever had run the errand with the "Topper"(The first slice with the crust all over it- don't know the proper name for it) heavily buttered....Nectar! Lesley Here that would be the heel of the loaf of bread. Usually left until last on sliced bread as it keeps the rest fresh. Or just plain left. But lest anyone think Americans aren't familiar with good bread or don't appreciate it. I'm not the only one who's grandmother baked bread nearly every day of her adult life. She was an amazing cook. Lived on top of a mountain and usually didn't have access to fresh milk. I can still make the worlds best apple pie, though I've never been able to put one in the oven from scratch in less then twenty minutes like she did. When we were first married Charlie worked in the Pentagon. They have a bakery on the premises, as well as a lot of other shops you would expect in a city its size. They make a different rye bread every day of the week. Wonderful, unsliced if that was what you preferred, rye bread. It didn't matter that it took me a while to get the hang of cooking, we could have lived off that alone. Jo It is not that we are not familiar with it but typical American if it is not convenient or last a long time no one wants it. I am guilty myself I can't find any bakery or recipe my self that taste like Nature own honey wheat bread OMG, you guys are making me drool. My grandmother, who was in her 60's, used to run a home for 15 little old ladies and made her bread daily from scratch and to me there are 2 scents I just LOVE, the scent of bread baking and the smell of coffee roasting. Now, I'm hungry, and need some coffee. LOL Kyla with a cat under a towel thrown over the chair. |

I seem to recall a lot of resistance to being corrected on the issue of caloric intake relative to weight gain or loss, by quite a few people who did know better. Who knew better? The fact is if you eat too many calories than you use, you will put on weight, if you eat less than you use, you will lose weight. You cannot argue with that. Tweed All right, you still have my nomination for Twit of the month for November. Shall we try to two months in a row? I understood what Matthew was trying to say. Pam S. |
