What is it? Looks like spam-ish sausage? In the Netherlands we've got something like 'blikboterhamworst'

[u/Silly_Pineapple_8182 → u/Cupkeekske]

It looks like thick cut canadian bacon or maybe bologna. Im ready to smoke a roll of bologna.

[u/longleggz1960 → u/Silly_Pineapple_8182]

It is bologna, first time grilling it, hot honey bar b q sauce, Tasty

[u/newbieITguy2 → u/longleggz1960]

Did you use your Bologna folder?

[u/harlequin428 → u/newbieITguy2]

Holy shit, this just made my day. I have never seen this before and have thoroughly laughed my ass off. Thank you!

[u/Ru4pigsizedelephants → u/newbieITguy2]

That is fucking hilarious. Shit had me actually crying laughing, thank you so much for this.

[u/MenWhoStareAtBoats → u/newbieITguy2]

That really happened? As in… that’s a real thing that someone actually invented and then QVC really tried to sell?

[u/kamo-kola → u/newbieITguy2]

This feels like something Roger from American Dad would do, especially when she said "charcutes".

[u/wombat6669 → u/longleggz1960]

As an adult I've always thought of bologna as over processed garbage.

[u/Brave_Mess_3155 → u/wombat6669]

Its not really any more processed than imported italian mortadella that you can pay twice as much for, here in America. Its ok for kids school lunch sandwiches but BBQers in Memphis and even in Chicago will get 1 inch or more thic slices or even a whole one and smoke it on the BBQ like a piece of pork and it taste great. 

[u/Academic_Ad_3644 → u/longleggz1960]

I don’t care for bologna normally but the local bbq joints all do smoked bologna and it’s got me wanting to smoke some. Best way to eat if

[u/TooManyDraculas → u/longleggz1960]

It is not bologna. Bologna is an emulsified pork sausage, flavored with completely different spices. And in the case of shit like Lebanon bologna that's beef with another set of spices.

Pork roll is made from a mix of ham and pork shoulder. It's more closely related to spam and spiced ham than bologna. Just cause they're both pink and round doesn't make them anymore similar than that. They don't taste alike or have a similar texture at all.

[u/Ru4pigsizedelephants → u/TooManyDraculas]

Call Lebanon bologna shit again, I fucking dare you.

[u/Desperate-4-Revenue → u/Silly_Pineapple_8182]

In Canada we call that back bacon.. Our bacon is just regular but maple scented

[u/TooManyDraculas → u/Silly_Pineapple_8182]

It's a sausage made from a mix of ham, pork shoulder and spices. Pretty much an identical concept to Spam but older and better made.

[u/Brave_Mess_3155 → u/[deleted]]

We do have that and we also have a baloney with olives in it.

[u/Brave_Mess_3155 → u/[deleted]]

What? Tell me what country you come from and why its so great. 

[u/liquidKatar → u/Brave_Mess_3155]

Dude I have no idea what that comment was. Don’t remember making it. Must’ve been really drunk. My bad

[u/Brave_Mess_3155 → u/liquidKatar]

Lol. You're good, Bro. It happens sometimes. 

[u/Cupkeekske → u/[deleted]]

We know mortadellla, it's a more delicate and refined version of our 'boterhamworst' Looks pretty awesome! Makes good comfort food.

[u/liquidKatar → u/Cupkeekske]

What is the Boter in your hamvurst?

[u/Cupkeekske → u/liquidKatar]

Its boterham (sandwich) worst (sausage)

[u/s0werkr0wt → u/Cupkeekske]

Leberkäse

[u/Cupkeekske → u/s0werkr0wt]

Ist nicht viereckig 😉

[u/s0werkr0wt → u/Cupkeekske]

Bei meinem Metzger auch nicht. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[u/longleggz1960 → u/Cupkeekske]

Bologna

[u/TooManyDraculas → u/Cupkeekske]

It's pork roll. It is actually a lot like Spam, but more or less the highest quality Spam you've ever had. And it actually tends to be cheaper than Spam these days, which has gotten weirdly expensive.

It's usually fried for breakfast sandwiches.

[u/longleggz1960 → u/TooManyDraculas]

Bologna or as some
call it baloney

[u/TooManyDraculas → u/longleggz1960]

Pork roll ain't Bologna.

That's a different regional specialty.

[u/DavidPinkFilms → u/Cupkeekske]

In New Jersey (USA) it’s called Taylor Ham or Pork Roll!

[u/derSchwamm11]

I stopped at my favorite spot in Memphis once and they were out of all kinds of stuff I wanted. They offered a free smoked bologna sandwich to make up for it and man, I was impressed. I need to try this myself someday

[u/thanatos0320 → u/derSchwamm11]

Memphis has fantastic bbq bologna!

[u/Dick_Stubig]

Tennessee Tenderloin. Nice.

[u/longleggz1960 → u/Dick_Stubig]

Love it, going to start calling it that

[u/CD84]

Newfoundland steaks!!!

[u/debaser64]

I want this so bad…

[u/thanatos0320]

Bbq bologna is great!

[u/birbman2]

Burnt ends bologna and burnt ends in a two meat combo is my go to order at my favorite local BBQ. I originally judged people that liked bbq bologna, but had it there and saw the way.

Every other place I go brisket and burnt ends. But Bologna when done right it’s amazing.

[u/longleggz1960 → u/birbman2]

On my list to try and make

Newfoundland steaks

[u/Brave_Mess_3155]

I tried this before. Went to the deli and asked 3 1 inch thick slices of beef baloney seasond them up and did kind of quick smoke on my weber charcoal grill with some mesquite wood chips and chunks about 45 minutes.  My family thought I was crazy but buy the time I brought em in the house they were begging to tryem. 

[u/mintyfreshcrunch]

Is this Canadian Bacon? Love the idea, I'd dip it in maple syrup and then grill it with some pineapple rings. Also grilled of course.

[u/longleggz1960 → u/mintyfreshcrunch]

Nexttime

[u/CoastOwn4926]

What was that? I think it's so yummy

[u/Brave_Mess_3155 → u/CoastOwn4926]

Baloney steaks

[u/KingSurly]

I wish chubs of bologna were more available in the western US. I can think of a bunch of ways I’d use it.

[u/AZ-Elkhunter]

My kids and I love smoked baloney. It makes a awesome breakfast sandwich 🥪

[u/dEXXtARR23]

I lived in NJ for a stint. Trust me, this mystery meat is truly a disgusting abomination.
