1. bologna

   Bologna is a type of sausage originating from Bologna, Italy. It is commonly made from pork, beef, or a mix of the two, along with various spices, and it's typically finely ground before being cooked and smoked, resulting in a smooth, uniform texture. This is then often sliced and used in sandwiches or served as cold cuts. In the United States, bologna is often associated with a less expensive and less gourmet variety of sausage, compared to its original Italian version.
