Bologna is an absolute delicacy.

It is one of the saltiest meats of all time, and it's coveted at delis everywhere. It emerged as early as the 1400s, and it's still one of the most affordable meats to date. While the bologna and mayo sandwich remains a tried and true American staple, bologna has since been used in a variety of unique and delicious recipes around the world. As we celebrate National Bologna Day, let's take a look at the most unique ways to enjoy the universally adored meat, so you can make sure to never go a day without Bologna!
