Ok nice to know, in the US bologna is a sausage.

In Europe Bologna is a city and it won’t fit in a blender. Bolognese sauce (ragù alla bolognese) is from Bologna, among many things like being the home of the world oldest university. There’s plenty of meat and food there, but no bologna sausage.

If you’re around Italy I encourage you to visit Bologna, it’s one of my favorite cities in the country and one that is often overlooked as people tends to go elsewhere (mostly Firenze).

But Bologna is the perfect place to enjoy la dolce vita and visit the area with la freccia (Frecciarossa is the Italian high speed train).

And please, don’t blend it into a pie.

When they don't write it baloney. I know, I know.

Ackshually, there's the original Bologna sausage.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortadella

In some parts of Italy they use the name Bologna to refer to the mortadella (e.g. "un'etto di Bologna"), in the same way they'd use Parma or San Daniele for the respective hams. It makes me cringe a little when they do, not gonna lie.

Ah, I had mortadella my all life but never heard it referred to as as Bologna.

Mortadella Bologna is the PGI (IGP) version.
