(Bologna is my city's name! ) [/quote] Interestingly enough, saying something is bologna or full of bologna is identical to saying it's garbage. It's also a type of sausage.

organwerke Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Uhm, this is really interesting! Yes, Mortadella Bologna was invented in my city, as you can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortadella but I didn't know of this second meaning...like gabbage. Yes, of course it has its sense if I think to mortadella...really very good!! Other typicall products originated in my city that I strongly recommend are: tortellini: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortellini lasagne: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasagna tagliatelle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagliatelle cotechino (well, this was originated in Modena but it is very popular also in Bologna): http://www.globalgourmet.com/food/egg/egg0396/cotlentl.html These foods can't absolutely miss in a bolognese family Christmas lunch (in particular tortellini and cotechino)!! Uhm...I'm already hungry!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
