Bologna

The official faux meat of the 2012 Summer Olympics, bolognaIt's still a mystery why the hell 's spelled so funny. is a fused loaf of unidentifiable animal-flesh by-products, Play-Doh™, and wallpaper paste. Sometimes bologna is considered a sausage, but it's awfully big around to be a sausage ...
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, bologna is classified as a meat, in much the same way the Reagan administration once classified ketchup as a vegetable. But no matter how you slice it, bologna is great when it's made into sandwiches.
==Origin==
Although totally unconfirmed, legend has it bologna is made of meat from an animal discovered by a guy in some time period. Most historians believe this is a rumor propagated by the liberal media, according to the Bush administration. Well, it could've been a woman, but probably a guy. Only a guy would have thought of inventing something that has no nutritional value, but fills you up anyway.
