Isn’t bologna just hot dog pancakes?

Always feels weird to me that Yanks call weiners hot dogs even though the whole thing with the bun is a hot dog. Would feel like calling minced meat hamburger meat or something hah

We call minced meat (“ground beef” in the Americas) a hamburger, burger, or burger patty when it’s shaped into a flat circle.

It’s not uncommon for us to call a circle of ground beef a “burger” even if it’s sans-bun.

Worse still is the pronunciation of "bologna". How. Just how. None of you seppos have the right to tell me about how I pronounce "herbs" or "pecans". Then again, our pronunciation of "lieutenant" is messed up.

Bo lo na

The g is silent, obviously. Have some culture.

The "g" isn't silent. the "gn" in Italian (and French) is pronounced like a "n" with a tilde (~, e.g "ñ") in Spanish.

  • bologna = bo lo nya
  • gnocchi = nyo ki
  • cognac = co nyak
  • jalapeño = ha la pe nyo

I've always called them old sos myself (because sausAGE, amirite?)

Wow, my jokes are terrible.

They're actually just human portions of a hot dog for titans. You ever see one of those mother fuckers? You don't carry a three foot hotdog as thick as your leg, you wield it.

I don't play the lottery or scratchers but I still would like to win the lottery.

In some respects you already have, just by existing. The odds of any single sperm managing to fertilize an egg are comparable to the odds of winning The Powerball.

Haha, that reminds of this guy I knew as a teenager. He would buy a 500g lyoner sausage and just straight up eat it as it was. No bread or anything. And he'd finish the entire thing in one sitting.

what does that much sodium do to a person?

He's been perfectly preserved. He'll write down how the last human passes, while eating another sausage

As long as your kidneys are working fine and you can drink water, all it does is make your pee salty and make you thirsty.

Didn't ever look at the sodium in one of those Asian ramen noodle bowls. :(

I used to visit a quickie mart for lunches that sold those fried up with any fixins you wanted. 3 bucks a pop
