Happy National Bologna Day!

bologna sandwich

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?

FDA approves viruses to treat foods

The FDA has just approved the a mixture of viruses, bacteriophages, to be used to kill bacteria commonly found in foods, marking the first time that a virus has been approved as a food additive. The mixture contains strains of six different bacteriophages designed to fight Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria that cause listeriosis, a disease which sickens about 2,500 people per year and kills 500. Listeriosis primarily affects pregnant women, women who have just given birth and infants, in addition to other people who have weakened immune systems for one reason or another. The bacteria is found mostly in packaged, processed meat products, so the additive will be used on cold cuts, various sausages and other "ready to eat" meat products.

The FDA imposed its strictest standards to scrutiny to this additive, developed by a company called Intralytix, and is confident that the bacteriophages are safe. The Department of Agriculture will regulate and supervise the use of the additive. A spokesman for the Office of Food Additive Safety at the FDA says that " consumers will not be aware which meat and poultry products have been treated with the spray."

Bologna art



What with all the earth-shattering news of bacteria in ice machines and Waffle House taking credit cards, I figured we could use something a little silly. I'd say these bologna figures from MediaBum.com fit the bill. Really, I wish I could give you more background, but there isn't much provided. What? You're not impressed with just four? Well there are more than 50 of them. Someone obviously had some free time, and plenty of cold cuts. I can just imagine an unmanned deli counter in a supermarket somewhere...

If anyone knows who the creator is, please let me know.

Tip of the Day

December may have peppermint bark, but have you thought to incorporate the taste of autumn into white chocolate with a rich pumpkin swirl?
