How to tag:
To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz
Here are the current tags:
- Edited - The image was manipulated with editing software.

(BTW, I’m looking for someone to help mod here! I myself would not be enough if this community goes beyond a few posts a day.)

Ok nice to know, in the US bologna is a sausage.
In Europe Bologna is a city and it won’t fit in a blender. Bolognese sauce (ragù alla bolognese) is from Bologna, among many things like being the home of the world oldest university. There’s plenty of meat and food there, but no bologna sausage.
If you’re around Italy I encourage you to visit Bologna, it’s one of my favorite cities in the country and one that is often overlooked as people tends to go elsewhere (mostly Firenze).
But Bologna is the perfect place to enjoy la dolce vita and visit the area with la freccia (Frecciarossa is the Italian high speed train).
And please, don’t blend it into a pie.
When they don't write it baloney. I know, I know.
Ackshually, there's the original Bologna sausage.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortadella
In some parts of Italy they use the name Bologna to refer to the mortadella (e.g. "un'etto di Bologna"), in the same way they'd use Parma or San Daniele for the respective hams. It makes me cringe a little when they do, not gonna lie.
Ah, I had mortadella my all life but never heard it referred to as as Bologna.
Mortadella Bologna is the PGI (IGP) version.
Ragù alla bolognese is my childhood favorite, and I don’t eat American baloney (bologna), so I don’t associate it with Bologna, Italia at all. None whatsoever.
I sincerely hope that one day I can visit Bologna and eat paste with their famous sauce, and thank you for your reply so I can remember to go there when I’m able.
Mille grazie!
I also sincerely hope you can visit one day.
And on the plus side, they like food, a little… There’s tons (metric ton) of stuff to try besides pasta al ragù.

Oh I have wide taste for many foods, and wouldn’t limit myself to just pasta. That’s just the first dish I’d eat there. Just like anywhere else, I’d want to try as many different dishes and cuisines as I can.
