I don't know for sure but I think it is plastic I never eat it. And I don't let my animals eat it either since it can get all would up in the insides.
Here is a source to buy then to make your own and it says non edible fabric
#24400 Red Bologna Casings (4 7/8") 124 MM

and probably more than anyone needs to know about casings is presented here LOL but it does list the various types
Sausage Casings

Back in my childhood days, we'd pull the ring off the bologna, then slide it between our teeth to pull off the meat.

Never ate the ring.

Dave, No they are not hot peppers, they are sweet banana peppers. I chose that recipe because I read somewhere here that you could use that recipe with any kind of peppers. Another reason I chose the recipe is because it's an easy one with few ingredients. Baby steps, ya know? I figured if my family didn't like them using this recipe then I would try another recipe with other ingredients. I have bookmarked the link that you provided and will try that one sometime. Thanks for the tip on the leftover pickling liquid. The more I learn the more I see just how much there is to learn LOL Thanks, PW

Amber ring question
Q
Comments (10)
They have to heat the ring up to resize it, even if making it smaller, they will cut it but then need to solder the ends together and the metal will conduct heat to the amber. In fact, I've heard that sterling can't be resized (or can only be done once) b/c it can weaken the metal. Also, depending on the setting, a ring may only be able to be resized (even down) to a certain point, maybe 2 sizes down, or 1 size up, without distorting the setting so much that the stone loosens and that's with hard stones. I lost a sterling and amethyst ring I bought at Goodwill that I really liked, it was just a little too big, maybe it could have been resized but I wore it before going to jeweler to see. I did read up on it though. I need to get my wedding & engagement rings (gold) resized (up, they heat and stretch, don't put a piece in) and was told engagement ring could go up 2 sizes (enough for me) but I didn't ask about band which is not full eternity band but is channel set so that might not be able to be done at all. DH will just have to buy me a new one for our 25th - though it would be a waste since I don't wear jewelry at all now b/c my hands are always in something (dirt, stain, dough).

Ring....Ring..... (twg7590) Question for you!

twg7590 Im so sorry to get back with you so late, I dont usally have time during the weekends to post. Its so funny that you love my porch and I love your kitchen...if only I had your kitchen I would have my dream home complete!! We are very happy with the timberteck flooring. We chose not to put in the tonge and groove flooring because if we had to replace a board you would have to remove most of the flooring to get to it. I dont remember the color it was what our local building supply had in stock. I have seen pictures of the spotting that some of the people in the deck forum are having problems with. But keep in mind that their decks are explosed to the elements without any protection. We have not seen any spots, but because it is covered by a roof and the sceen does a great job of keeping out the rain it does not get wet. I love it and if I want to kick off my shoes and walk across it, it is so smooth and the dark color just makes the room feel so warm. We did have it screened underneith because I did not want anything coming up from below the floor. LOL!! I have an area rug out there now and it look so nice and warm. I will have to post some close up pictures for you, email me at kellyleeann72@aol.com and I will send you pictures. I dont remember the stain of the ceiling but when I get home I can look at the bucket and let you know. The fireplace is a veener stone done by Centuron Stone, they are a big company out here and they have a website if you would like to check it out. I also got alot of insiration for my porch from the link below. Good luck on your project!! Please keep me posted on your progress I would love to see it, and if you have any questions please feel free to email me. Here is a link that might be useful: Porch Company

Ring doorbell pro question
Q
Comments (0)
I just had a ring doorbell pro installed. After installation the mechanical bell only dings once. I know the diode is not supposed to be used on a mechanical doorbell. I asked the handyman if he installed the diode and he said no. I’m just wondering if maybe the voltage on the transformer is not high enough? Minimum is 16 V to use the ring doorbell pro and that’s what my transformer is. But if the handyman did install the diode, will that prevent the mechanical doorbell from ringing twice? Thanks.

We call it Trail Bologna here, is that same thing? We always ate the casing - I still do. Ewwww, guess I'd better be questioning my butcher.

Bologna you buy in the regular supermarket is not trail bologna, which originated in Amish country in OH.

I have only had it once, when visitng KT'er Donna OH, and we stopped and I had a sandwich. It was a thick dark cut of bologna that was served to me.

Haven't seen or had any since then.

I live in Amish country and grew up eating Trail Bologna, but it's pricey now days. It's great with Swiss Cheese. I normally don't eat it in a sandwich, just break off a junk. When my brother and his wife moved to California they missed it so much that my Mom would send it to them.

We always ate the casing too. Still love the ring like it is made in Germany... and eat it there. :)

Not very common here in Oklahoma.

Skin-on hot dogs use natural casing, I can't imagine that ring balogna wouldn't be that, too. I can't find any called ring balogna anymore, now it's kielbasa or smoked sausage, seems like.

I've never heard of ring bologna before. Sorry, I know that's not helpful.

If it was non-edible I sure would think it'd have cautions in the preparation instructions considering this sue-happy society. That said, I don't care to eat the skin on several types of sausage, particularly Swedish Sausage, most lunch meats and ring bologna though I don't eat the ring bologna anymore anyway. Some of the casings are so tough I often will remove them even on kielbasa or smoked sausage too.
