Bologna sausage

Bologna sausage in sausage form and sliced

Bologna sausage, informally baloney (/bəˈloʊni/ bə-LOH-nee), is an American cooked sausage. Its seasonings, which include black pepper, nutmeg, allspice, celery seed, coriander, and myrtle berries, give it its flavor. It is an imitation of genuine Italian mortadella Bologna PGI, a variety of mortadella, a large salume.

Similar imitations of mortadella Bologna include parizer (Parisian sausage) in Hungary, Romania, and the countries of the former Yugoslavia; polony in Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa and Western Australia; devon in most states of Australia; and fritz in South Australia.

In North America, a simple and popular use is in the bologna sandwich. In the Southern United States, a bologna cake exists which is bologna slices layered with seasoned cream cheese to make the appearance of a cake.
