real bologna is wonderful. we used to make it, along with sausage and souse or head cheese.
"rag" just refers to linen or cotton-wrapped whatever as opposed to casing or dish or wood as an outside shaper. rag cheese or bandage cheese another example.

No doubt, the people of Bologna would be appalled.

WIKI:
Bologna sausage, also known as baloney (/bəˈloʊni/),[1] boloney or polony, is a sausage derived from and similar to the Italian mortadella, a finely ground pork sausage containing cubes of lard, originally from the Italian city of Bologna, IPA: [boˈloɲɲa] ( listen)). U.S. Government regulations require American bologna to be finely ground [2] and without visible pieces of lard. Bologna can alternatively be made out of chicken, turkey, beef, pork, venison or soy protein.
Polony is the name for a large sausage made from a mixture of beef and pork that is popular in South Africa and was very popular in Britain during the 17th and 18th centuries. Polony is now eaten less often. Polony can be stored for long periods, sometimes many weeks. Polony is highly seasoned before being hot smoked. It is then cooked in boiling water when required.
I've never eaten mortadella, even though I grew up in an Italian-American household. The big chunks of fat kind of gross me out. I like my fat finely ground. Genoa salami was always my favorite after my palette became more sophisticated and I outgrew the Oscar Meyer bologna. (insert winky emoticon here)

Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener,
that is what I truly want to be,
for if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener,
everyone would be in love with me...
Oh I'm glad I'm not an Oscar Mayer wiener,
that is what I'd never want to be,
for if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener,
there would soon be nothing left of me!
(too much TV as a child, and plenty of balogne too)

Who would have guessed that a type of food would allow "progressive" white guys to exercise a type of regional and cultural chauvinism---that if this " triangle of stupidity" talk were instead directed at people of a different color, would be considered racist.
It's clear that when the usual outlets for traditional racism are repressed due to the current political correctness ---then certain people must find other targets to discharge this feeling of superiority.
What better targets than poorly educated white people from Arkansas who eat bad food ?

Easy, Ward. My entire family line derives from said triangle, mostly Missouri, so I'm rather proud to be a "dummy." Having fun at our own expense is the essence of fine humor, IMO, and the vagaries of white trash cuisine - which many of us grew up with - are things dear to our hearts. Hence this thread.

You may think that way Largo but I'll clue you that a lot of people here fit the description I gave. I've heard it too often not to be cognizant.
Frankly, I could give a rats ass---just once in a while I like to point out hypocrisy and smugness.
It might be "white trash cuisine" or " nouveau soul food" but I like to think of it as the food that barfed up Dixie Jazz, rock n roll, country, and the blues.

Ward, anybody who has managed to escape a life of quiet culinary desperation
is entitled to a modicum of smugness.

I'm sure you're right about that Ward but we're hardly standing on a soap box here. The whole thing is shits and giggles and the stuff about growing up on white trash vittles is entirely true for me. It's just that I didn't appreciate how toxic some of that grub was till way later - like now. Who knew that Jimmy Dean Hot Links are - according to reliable sources - primarily pig ears and butt holes steeped in some secret sauce? For real. That's some news, wouldn't you say?
Now your boy Donald Sterling - that's a guy who needs to be chased out of town for being a detriment to society. Here, we're having fun at our own expense, or that's the spirit of thing thing by my rights.

one of my favorite grocery stores stocks miller's bologna. bought a pound on friday.
had a meat loaf yesterday, and hocks and black-eyed peas for dinner, so couldn't get around to the bologna until today.
piled high on pumpernickel. heavy on the mustard.
