Why do Newfoundlanders love bologna?

If you ask people in Newfoundland and Labrador what local food they always keep within reach, you might be surprised at the answer. 

It's not cod. Or moose. Or seal. 

It's bologna.

Round and processed, bologna is made mostly of ham trim, other bits of mystery meat, and a whack of salt.

For decades, it has enjoyed a singular popularity in the province. In fact, Maple Leaf Foods, Canada's largest bologna maker estimates that about one-third — 2.1 million kilograms annually — is sold in Newfoundland.

That works out to about four kilograms of bologna for every man, woman and child in the province every year.  

Despite her rock-solid Newfoundland pedigree,  is not a fan.

But bravely — for The Sunday Edition — she agreed to take a look at her people's love for the processed pig. Her documentary is called "In The Pink."

This documentary first ran in December of 2012.
