Dearest Mortadella,

Last night at dinner I finally found someone who shared my love for you!

I know I know.. you're basically bologna. But so much more refined..

First you're from Bologna.. yes Italy!
You're seasoned with black pepper, myrtle berries, nutmeg, and coriander!
Then studded with pork fat and Pistachios!!

I'll always love you..
