Weird History Food is here for your lunch meat needs. The history of bologna or baloney has a storied history both in both Italy as well as America, which, thanks to German immigrants, gave the rise to American kids' favorite TV jingle -- My baloney has a first name it's O-S-C-A-R. We will spare you the rest, but get your white bread and mayo ready, because we are going on a bologna trip. And that's no baloney. #bologna #foodhistory #weirdhistoryfood
