Ring Bologna

 A descendent of German ringwurst, ring bologna is packed into casings two inches in diameter and formed into loops, giving the sausage its name. As with most processed meats, ring bologna is fully cooked and edible right out of the package. This makes it ideal for use in cold sandwiches. However, the flavor usually is enhanced by simple cooking methods such as pan frying or broiling. Ring Bologna is an authentic Pennsylvania Dutch specialty named for its distinctive ring-shaped casing. In Pennsylvania Dutch traditions, ring bologna is paired with pea soup or sauerkraut, but ring bologna works just as well on any meat plate, stew, pizza, and more!
