National Bologna Day
October 24, 2017 is
National Bologna Day
Today is National Bologna Day! Bologna is a lunchtime favorite for
sandwich lovers across the country. Although this American sausage is spelled
bologna, it is commonly pronounced "baloney." In some parts of the country it is
also referred to as “jumbo.”
Bologna can be made with beef, pork, chicken, or turkey. It is cooked and
smoked with a wonderful bouquet of spices that add to its delicious flavor.
There are many different variations including German bologna and Kosher
bologna.
Did you know that Americans eat 800 million pounds of bologna annually?
Add a slice or two to your sandwich today to celebrate National Bologna
Day!
