"baloney" news and stories

Does anyone eat bologna sandwiches anymore? I know there are different kinds of bologna and some are better than others, but the only bologna that I'm familiar with is the packages of Oscar Mayer my mom used to buy when I was a kid. Bologna sandwiches, chips, and soda was one of my staple lunches.

"My baloney has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R..."

Today is National Bologna Day. Big Oven has several recipes, including Bologna Soup. Here's a recipe for Bologna Sandwich Spread. Or how about another old-time favorite from RecipeZaar, the Fried Bologna Sandwich?

A lot of people are uncomfortable eating meat that looks like part of an animal, so pre-packaged and process meats are popular. This lunch meat, however, must be one of more disturbing things to ever have been featured in the deli meat section of a grocery store. The problem isn't that it is 80% pork with coloring added to it, but that the coloring is added to make it look like a clown face. It is clearly intended to be appealing to children, it actually explains why some children are afraid of clowns. After all, if you discovered a face in your sandwich when you were in kindergarten, you would be traumatized, too. This meat might also be a factor in why some children become vegetarians.

At least soylent green didn't look like people.
