Peter,

A bologna is like a large sausage, usually with a much thicker (several
inches in diameter) and generally far blander.  Like sausage, it can be made
from a variety of meat sources, individually or in combination, and can be
made with a variety of spices. 

Here's the Wikipedia definition:

All best,
Jim

Jim,

I am still mystified, what is a "bologna"?

Happy 2007 anyway!
