The mix of spices used in “pumpkin spice” were being used to make sausages LONG before they ever met a squash. Nutmeg, allspice, ginger, cinnamon, mace, clove are some of the most common flavorings for various sausages, especially around the holiday season.

Including various forms of Bolongna.
Presumably the trick here is using a lot more of them than usual.
Eta: also pertinent.

Sounds delicious. I would pair it with my breakfast this morning: grits cooked with water and olive oil, with chopped up green tomatoes from the garden (The final pick of the year’s crop, December 3rd) seasoned with sage, garlic, salt and pepper …
Fried bologna and prunes are a real winner, too. Never too many offerings for the use of pumpkin spice, eh?

Subway has nothing on this Sandwich Artist.
Damn those sandwiches look good.

I’m honestly more distressed by the bologna part than the pumpkin spice. The spice combination in another sausage would probably be pretty good.

'd for the grits.
you can keep the balogna baloney.
what? no Virginia ham with those grits?
'round these parts it’s shrimp-N-grits. but to stay on topic: I don’t like pumpkin spice and I detest balogna. that’s just me.
y’all do y’all’s own thing and g’head and leave me out.
I cannot properly express how unlikely it would be, for that combination of flavors to ever pass my lips, without interpretive dance that would have me arrested in any civilized country, 1,000 gallons of avgas, and a lit torch.
If your cat hisses and backs away from it, you should too. Like my cat did when I poured a can of squid in her dish.
Iirc, bog-standard baloney spices include mace, nutmeg, cinnamon and clove at least. It’s already “pumpkin spice” and always has been.

bologna-spiced latte anyone?
Personally I love baloney, especially with a side of malarkey

There’s an easy, money-saving way. Make a sandwich with cheap baloney. Add a slice of the pumpkin you didn’t cook into a Turkey Day pie. Wash it down with box wine so you don’t notice the flavor. Works for me.
That’s kind of the jumping off point for the video tbh
