Entry feels much too short. It does not at all discuss what it's actually made out of or what it is that gives it the distinctive flavor. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.18.162.88 (talk • contribs) 19:56, 15 June 2006 UTC.

Is there any reason for the inconsistency in spelling of baloney/boloney and bologna/balogna?

I've lived in Pittsburgh for over 20 years. Nobody *ever* calls it Jumbo here, and I even worked in a deli for awhile. I've seen the term 'Jumbo Bologna' here once in awhile, but never just 'Jumbo'.

[edit] Bad redirect

"Baloney" should not redirect to this page. It should go right to the disambiguation page. No bologna commercially sold as food ever features the spelling "baloney".

That photo is horrendous. Conrad1on 07:32, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Source of slang "Baloney"

The notion of Baloney meaning Nonsense might derive from someone who tried to make a lowly item appear fancy. Rube Goldberg wrote in one of his early 20th C. cartoons: "No matter how thin you slice it, it's still Baloney" IE: still a cheap sausage, not a fancy cold cut. --Saxophobia 23:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe the remark about people wrapping mashed potatoes with baloney and calling that "pigs in a blanket". I recommend we drop that sentence unless somebody produces a citation. --Waxmop 01:58, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pig in a blanket

Hi - in NZ a pig in a blanket is a sausage wrapped in bread.

I aggree, in Australia, it is also a sausage wrapped in a bread, maybe with tomato sauce —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinobert06 (talk • contribs) 23:08, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Bosaus"

Could we get some verification on this? All the references I could find on Google seemed to come from this article. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 18:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
