ROD RECIPES 10/24/2008 National Bologna Day Bologna Cake
This large highly seasoned sausage is name for Bologna, Italy. The true Italian
sausage from Bologna is actually called Mortadella.
Mortadella is the original bologna - a very large smoked sausage (usually pork)
from Bologna, Italy, studded with cubes of pork fat, peppercorns and/or
pistachios and/or green olives. American bologna (boloney) is a very poor
imitation.
Mortadella probably dates back to the 15th century, and the original recipes
included myrtle, 'mortella' in Italian, hence the name.
Americans eat 800 million pounds of bologna annually.
Uses for bologna:
Catfish Bait
Hair pomade
Filler for casseroles
Lubricant for door hinges, bicycle chains, and squeaky cabinets
Shoe polish
Redneck perfume
And many more!
One warning though, bologna grease has a strong odor. You might attract dogs,
flies, and your cousin Earl if you wear it too long.

Bologna Cake
2 loaves of cheap white Bread, crusts cut off
8 Tbs. of Italian Dressing
1/2 lb. sliced bologna (we used Oscar Mayer all beef)
3/4 lb. American cheese slices (we used Kraft)
2 containers of whipped cream cheese
Ketchup (if desired)
Garnishes: Parsley, Black Olives, etc. (if desired)
It is helpful if you use a springform cake pan, because everything holds
together nicely. Begin by layering the bread slices in a double layer in the
bottom of the spring form cake pan. Tear or cut up some of the bread to fill in
any gaps. Sprinkle 2 Tbs. of the Italian dressing over the two layers of bread.
Next, a layer using all of the bologna over the dressing and bread. Next double
layer the bread again and again sprinkle with 2 Tbs. of Italian dressing. Next
create a cheese layer using all of it over that bread layer. Use the rest of
the bread to cover the cheese layer and again sprinkle 2 Tbs. of Italian
dressing over the bread. Press the entire thing gently down into the pan.
Next you make the 'frosting'. In a large bowl, mix the rest of the dressing (2
Tbs.) with the two containers of whipped cream cheese. Remove the metal spring
form pan. Using a spatula, ice the cake with the whipped cream cheese the same
way you would ice a cake. Transfer the cake to a serving platter or large
plate.
If you have a cake decorating kit, use any remaining cream cheese to pipe
around the cake. Fill a small baggie with ketchup, seal and snip off the end.
Use the ketchup to decorate the cake, write a phrase on the top or just as a
side.
