Look, I don't give a shit about your oversized balogna, okay? But please, someone help me find a big machete/tanto/tuna slicer/wakizashi/santoku/arming sword like that one.
Maybe the taste? I believe it's made partly with tripe & even though people don't like the concept of tripe, once it's minced into a fine paste & turned into "sausage", the taste is still great. Imgur butchers may dispute this.
You might be right. The closest I can get to actual recipes doesn't mention anything else but meat & lard (aside from that liver one). But they do also state that "each manufacturer has their own secrets" or similar. In Italian. I would put it past the mortadella producers to add anything that can be turned into a paste & I always thought I tasted (pork-) tripe. Perhaps not.
Yeah. It's sausage, and as it has been said, 'Better not to know how the sausage is made.' I once made sausage with sockeye salmon. It was so gross- think pink popcorn vomit- I couldn't bring myself to try it for several months. It was delicious, really good. But I had to let the 'process' get dimmer before I could eat it.
nope, no tripe. In high-end mortadelle it's mainly from the neck and the shoulder of the pig, the same cut as pulled pork, in the economic ones it's ALL the bits of flesh from the pigs carcasses. Then the bits get frozen, shredded and mixed with lard and aromatics, then cooked. If you want the horror version, take a look at the "coppa di testa", that's made with the pig's head and with bigger pieces.
The best pairing is with white pizza or focaccia, and a cold beer.
Cook with olive oil. Regularly eat fatty fish, nuts and whole grain products. This HDL cholesterol intake brings balance that will allow a LDL cholesterol splurge every now and then preventing the need for medication like statins.
There are too many variables here, thickness of the slices, thickness/type of bread, additional protein and/or cheese/s, sauce... don't get me started on dry sandwiches. Are we putting salad on this thing or just a few pickles? I need the details.

that's a big HØnk of meat product.

when he puts the slices on the bread, they move like they are still alive.

EntropyReign
googling "long slicing knife" and especially "brisket knife" gets you some good results. Not quite as tall of a blade on most of them, but similar
Eldibs
You're not wrong, but feeling the knife steel in my hands tells me way more than a spec sheet. Good steel feels good.

That’s some of the biggest meat I’ve ever seen.

What part of the pig is this

I suggest to not take this video as example of how to cut it.
Almost transparent slices. That is the perfect thickness to enjoy mortadella.

Okay, imgur, since I trust you more than Google (not saying much)... what's in mortadella that everybody goes crazy over? What's it akin to?

I do not think there's tripe in mortadella. The only nasty bits recipe I know has pork liver. Fat, yes. Tripe no.

Was this from the Weird Al movie? It feels so familiar.

Looks like an old SNL skit to me. Saw the AL movie last week and this wasn't in it.

The samurai is John Belushi, so I'm guessing 1970s Saturday Night Live.

The big white blobs are called "lardons," and they are exactly what you think they are. Delicious stuff, but take some extra statins right after.
laurapede83
TIL. Lardons. Delicious and Dangerous.

Yep. Chunks of pork fat.

I have banned mortadella from my home because the last time I bought 1lb of it - expecting to make sandwiches all week - it lasted exactly 1 evening.
WatcherNotCreeper
I make stromboli with that ish (with salami/spinach/muenster), and no, it doesn't last
IgnisInvictus
But it was a very tasty evening.
HamAdvocate
Been there.

Four sandwiches. Unless they're awesome.

Did you make a muffaletta? It's seriously one of the best sandwiches on the planet.

I had one in NOLA in May and it was tasty bit im sure there much tastier

At first, I took your comment literally (re: spoiled mortadella), and then I realized you are my brother (in having no self control w/ mortadella)!
