Pilgrimage to Loney Mecca
eenie meenie
Posts: 4,394
For all you loney lovers out there……..I recently made a pilgrimage to the Baloney mecca, Bologna, Italy. When I told our cooking instructor that I needed photos of baloney / mortadello to show my BBQ forum, she was appalled. She stated that mortadello was not made with inferior cuts of meat, but had quite a bit of fat added to achieve the smooth and silky texture. She said Bologna got a bad rap because of American Baloney.
Well, on with my tribute to loney (mortadella)…..
The Bologna train station
The salumeria where we purchased our loney / mortadella
Honing in on the loney:
Loney on the left!!!! (and some uber lardo on the right)
Some sliced loney
A loney anitpasto (with some prosciutto and cheese in a stuffed fried ravioli.........yum.
Hope ya’ll enjoyed this pilgrimage to the mecca.
P.S. Some loney on our picnic plate with some bresaola, salami,parmesan-reggiano and pecorino cheese, pesto, Pulgian Bread (and a very inferior porchetta sandwich which we pitched) in Florence in the Piazza Santa Cruce on market day.
I hope this suffices for my initiation to join the exclusive loney club.

Al, I took a pizza class in Naples. I've yet to egg a pizza, so it's high on my list now.
After I suceessfully placed my pizza in the oven these guys gave me a job.
My pizza Margherita.
Nice tile work showing the Bay of Napoli.
-

Yippeeeeee Hoss!
:laugh: :woohoo: :silly: :side: I'm official. I'll shot you an email, because I certainly want my badge of honor. -
Beautiful tile work & pizza...now....who's that "friendly" latino there????? :woohoo:
-
Wow, looks like you had a real adventure for the ol' taste buds. Great looking breads also! Sausage, cheese, bread, wine, fine art and mortadella. You lucky gal!
Nice pic's. :cheer: -
Julie, I learned that wine and olive oil were both good for pedicures, lol.. :woohoo: :woohoo:
Oh wait, I learned that from your demonstration at the Sunshine fest.
In all seriousness, I learned quite a bit. I learned a new way of making pasta without adding flour during the roll out procedure. I also have an appetizer in mind for the minifest.....if green figs are in season (and it's not the typcial prosciutto wrapped figs. I also learned that I have to stay away from the jewerly stores in Florence, lol. -
Massimo.......those Latinos, gotta watch em.
BTW, have your eyes recovered from your t-shirt photography? -
Rather flat looking, Wish I had had a 3D camera... :woohoo: :laugh:
-
The tile landscape also shows the BBQ region of Italy in the mountains. You can plainly see the smoke rising from over a dozen pit smokers and brick ovens.
-
Bacchus, I snapped a couple pics of you at the Vatican museum.
When you were a baby:

Rebbeca, you are so right. S-E-I-T-Z spells bologna. I was 7. My "loney commercail".
Mike -
Clay, you are so astute! I don''t think the inhabitants of Pompeii or Herculaneum personally liked being BBQ'd. The tile work was really a work of art.....just like your woodwork and egging!
-
Gosh Ron you've lost some weight mi amigo....anyway cheers!!!!!!
-
Rebecca,, you could of just come to Melbourne and Richard would have put out a loney buffet :pinch: :laugh: Nice pics, glad you had a good time
-

-
My dad was VIP of Seitz. St. Joe, Mo. I was so cute.
Mike -
That is really cool. I can smell the pizza looking at the pic. Glad you had a great vacation. We will be waiting to see you next pizza cook.
-
Looks like an awesome adventure!!! Great Pics too, I am fairly new here so I don't quite know what to make of the loney club :huh:
-
Hi Jason, Glad to see you on the forum. Welcome. There are some real Baloney afficianados on this forum. If you ever attend a fest, someone will probably smoke some 'loney' as it is known by the trade. If you are interested give RichardFl, Hoss, CookinBiker or any other loney loon a call.
-
Thanks Rebecca, Maybe I will get to see some at the Pittsburg Fest? Closest one to me so I will definatley make it, wish there was one in Ohio!
-
Great trip pictures. My harem is allowed multiple queens.
