Bologna Cake

[Deleted]

with a great German wine: Gewürztraminer

No. Sorry. Just no.

hahaha! I love bologna, in a sandwich either cold or fried, with mustard or mayo, and I occasionally make "bologna salad" for sandwiches with chopped up bologna, mayo and pickle relish.

That bologna cake gags me just looking at it.

If you want to plug some arteries, eating that thing would be like injecting quick setting cement directly into your arteries with a syringe.

I certainly hope not, haha. Kathy made my birthday cake last night and it certainly looks much more appetizing than the one in the photo, lol. 74yrs old today. Yikes. I don't feel any older than yesterday, but then again I felt pretty old yesterday. lol

I bet if you made a thin slice and microwaved or even fried it the flavor would be greatly enhanced. I used to like bologna on pizza. Gee I must try that on cauliflower pizza shell. I think a garlic white sauce would be appropriate for that.





YUMMY

welcome to the "Weird and disgusting foods channel". What are those reddish hunks? Spam? Alien brains? Mystery meat?  The remains of Art Bell from the high desert? That looks disgusting, except for the crust, which looks possibly edible, mabye, if you're starving.

A bologna pizza sounds like something we might find here in our area. Weird flavors are popular here. Ham pizza with pineapple, taco flavored pizza, and BBQ pork or chicken, and buffalo chicken pizza are on many menus. We ordered a pizza recently with sausage and mushrooms. It had little balls of breakfast sausage on it. I asked a friend's son that works at the pizza joint what they used for sausage on a sausage pizza. He said they get it in vacuum packaged bags. He DID say that they do have ITALIAN sausage but you need to specify when you order. WTH. I suppose I probably should specify mozzarella cheese also in order to avoid getting a cheese pizza made with Velveeta. I just shake my head whenever I see a pizza place advertise "NY style pizza." That is also a joke. I would rather have a DiGiorno frozen pizza than many of the pizza shop NY style pizzas around here. Be extremely grateful living in CNY that you have so many great pizza parlors, and are not limited to Little Caesar's, Papa John's, Domino's, and Pizza hut, with only a very few mom and pop places around. A good pizza and a good fish fry are always at the top of our priority list when we come home on vacation.

Domino's uses breakfast sausage on their pizza, or at least they used to. I'll pass. Pizza Hut, Little Ceaser's etc., I'll also pass on. With all the locally owned pizza joints in this area there's no need to order from a chain. One of the best N.Y. style pizza joints imho was Pavone's in Riverside Mall.

That baloney cake looks like a dog ate it & didn't like it.

Joe's in Whitesboro used to smear the entire pizza with fine ground Italian sausage and then add the cheese and other toppings, finishing with the sauce on top instead of under the toppings like O'Scuinizo's. I loved it. You got sausage with every bite.

Bologna cake looks like a dog ate it? I doubt it. No dog would want to eat that crap.

Ha! I got one up on all you guyz! I went to a top of the line Italian restaurant in Daytona Beach, but nothing on the menu looked good, ( or affordable, so I should have stuck with Popeye's), so I ordered Spagetti with olive oil, parmesan cheese and butter sauce. I should have known better. What I got was a plate of overcooked pasta soaked in what I think was canola oil and, truly, margarine, with a side of shredded cheese. It was inedible. I thought about doing a door dash, but I figured it wasn't worth spending the week in jail for. I sent it back and got a hamburger instead. Not much better, but one up one the nasty Puttanesca de oilio. Another good one: here in Utica there is a place across the street from the court house, pretty good food, but sometimes the waitress can get a little testy: I was in there having breakfast and asked for milk for my tea, twice. After a while the waitress came out with a half gallon of milk in the jug, slammed it down on the table and said " Here's your milk!" I looked at her and not skipping a beat, picked up the half gallon, topped off my tea and handed it back to her. She was very quiet. I think she was looking for a fight, but I was very calm and gracious. I even left her a ten cent tip.

Very few Italian restaurants here. There is a chain called Fazoli's. Everything is served on plastic plates and with plastic forks and knives. Has anyone ever tried twirling spaghetti with a plastic fork and spoon?

Then there is Guiseppe's. We ate there just once. $14 for a plate of spaghetti with marinara, $3 extra for short link of over cooked, tasteless Italian sausage. $11 for a Calamari appetizer that consisted of about 15 pieces of over cooked and rubbery Calimari and about 2 ounces of sauce to dip it in. We didn't dare ask for a dessert menu. Probably would have had to take out a loan for a piece of cheesecake.

Olive Garden is about the most acceptable Italian cuisine around here. I miss the mom and pop Italian places in Utica and Rome.

I had to laugh as you described your breakfast across from the Court House. You present such a sophisticated persona that I can just envision you calmly handing the waitress back the 1/2 gallon of milk and taking a pleasing sip of your tea.

[artsyone]

Haha! my sophisticated persona is a ruse developed as a sort of crusty shell into which I retreat whence I see said fecal bombs fly by.
