Reply to comment by Fantastic_Feasts in [Homemade] The Bologna Sandwich by Fantastic_Feasts

Mortadella is original from Bologna. Google it. Bologna is a city, which is famous for his ragu (Bolognese sauce called outside of italy) and mortadella. With an italian sandwich it is lovely. Thats why your sandwich has no ingredients that come from that region . Is the same if you call a hotdog a hamburger.

Interesting! Thank you for the food history lesson.

A quick Google tells me that bologna is essentially mortadella except for the detail that the fat chunks are blended into bologna. Is there any other big differences?
