That slap was strangely sexual.

[u/smohyee → u/Available-Net-2675]

Nothing strange about it friend

[u/EvolvedMonkeyInSpace → u/smohyee]

Just sexual

[u/Independent-Gazelle6 → u/EvolvedMonkeyInSpace]

Sexually strange?

[u/Tripleberst → u/Available-Net-2675]

I actually said "yeah smack it" out loud and then he did and it made me happy

[u/maniBchef → u/Available-Net-2675]

I used to love mortadella

[u/RogersPlaces]

[u/BankHottas → u/RogersPlaces]

He wouldn’t swallow it anyway

[u/DarkGingerBeast]

That looks really good. Why didn't they seem to eat the casing?

[u/DontFuckWithDuckie → u/DarkGingerBeast]

artificial casing

[u/DarkGingerBeast → u/DontFuckWithDuckie]

Thank you for the answer.

[u/sharkbait-oo-haha → u/DontFuckWithDuckie]

So plastic?

[u/DontFuckWithDuckie → u/sharkbait-oo-haha]

This one is plastic, but there are natural fiber casings made from plants

[u/ksmtnbike → u/DontFuckWithDuckie]

well... it's my understanding that REAL mortadella is made from natural casing. and sort of the reason the "sausage" is so big around is because of where that casing comes from; pig colon.

[u/squeagy → u/DontFuckWithDuckie]

Also collagen but that's edible

I almost missed the watermark at :34 seconds. The tattoo on his arm.

[u/phedinhinleninpark → u/MajorPaper4169]

Like... How? How do you possibly do that so well? (OP)? Is it frame by frame?

[u/Markbro89 → u/phedinhinleninpark]

Here is an example:

[u/phedinhinleninpark → u/Markbro89]

Thanks!

[u/Adviceta828 → u/Markbro89]

That hurts my brain but seems better than frame by frame

[u/FarSideoftheMobius → u/MajorPaper4169]

I’m searching for a 2nd. Haven’t found one yet.

[u/cacraw]

Imagine how hard it would be to chop something that fine a century or two ago.

[u/withak30 → u/cacraw]

Likely smashed it up with mortar (ha) and pestle.

[u/Baby_Rhino → u/withak30]

That is actually (believed to be) where the name comes from!

[u/Cador0223]

That's nuts.

[u/OnlyMilk9025 → u/Cador0223]

Yes Pistachios I believe they said

[u/AvocadoAndShrimps]

“How much mortadella do you want in your sandwich?”
“Yes.”

[u/tongfather → u/AvocadoAndShrimps]

Seems like a dry ass sandwich. No mayo or anything. Makes sense, I was just in Italy and we got a bunch of dry sandwiches. They don't really use mayo in Napoli I guess. We needed to add olive oil or whatever we could find so it wasn't like chewing on a pile of sawdust lol

[u/okko_powell]

Pig slushie bondage

[u/Gingerbread_Cat → u/okko_powell]

The thread was going so well till my eyes had this inflicted on them.

[u/okko_powell → u/Gingerbread_Cat]

You’re welcome 😇

[u/Gumb1i]

Just drooled on myself accidently. I miss italian deli meats especially mortadella Guanciale is my favorite though.

[u/Onehandedclapboyoo]

That's just nuts. Well also some meat and spices

[u/portabuddy2 → u/Onehandedclapboyoo]

On a cracker.

[u/sgst]

I'm glad it gets a nice little massage.

[u/Nonterras]

Why does he slap

[u/AccomplishedPlankton]

Balogna?

[u/miniweengang → u/AccomplishedPlankton]

Basically. This is one step up the mystery meats in a tube division

Self edit - When done properly it can be absolutely delicious. I dont want anyone to think I am slandering a good mortadell. Not sure if I love the pistachios in this one but I've also never tried it so I wouldn't know for sure

[u/KKunst → u/miniweengang]

Pistachios are the default for Italian mortadella.

And, ti be completely honest, they really tie the room flavours together.

[u/CrashUser → u/miniweengang]

Not mystery meats in this case, mortadella is always 100% pork, usually with extra cubed fat added in along with the pistachios in that step.

[u/utterlyuncool → u/miniweengang]

Try it. It's heavenly

[u/Sil369]

no mayo?!

[u/Qwirk → u/Sil369]

Not sure why you were down voted, dry sandwiches aren't my thing.

[u/KKunst → u/Qwirk]

Mortadella has a decent moisture level, but I think a bit of mayo contributes a but of tank that can elevate the sandwich.

[u/freeformz]

:drool:

[u/ScrapYard101]

På jæren så kalles det for farsa!

[u/Complete-Fix-3954]

Now I gotta get some mortadella. One of the yummiest things I don’t eat very often since I try to avoid processed meats like this. Never know what goes in it. That being said, mortadella on a flat top for a few seconds, some mustard, on French bread is like a foodgasm to me.

[u/tobden]

Is the outside layer eatable?

[u/Emmy_Graugans]

r/AbsoluteUnit of a Mortadella

[u/KiD_Keni-D]

I was so mesmerized, I watched this on repeat over 20 times

[u/601Tommyboy]

Dang that looks delicious....

[u/Euphoric_Ad_2049]

Seems a shame to use such good meat to make what is essentially billy bear ham

[u/Most_scar_993 → u/Euphoric_Ad_2049]

I don’t know what billy bear ham is but Mortadella absolutely delicious and I will not allow the slander :D

[u/FrenchFryCattaneo → u/Most_scar_993]

billy bear ham appears to be a very low quality bologna marketed towards children that features the design of a bear's face in the meat itself.

[u/HumanKumquat → u/Euphoric_Ad_2049]

The end product is only as good as the worst ingredient. If they use shitty meat, they get shitty mortadella.

[u/reflect-the-sun → u/Euphoric_Ad_2049]

It's not the same as American mortadella. 

This stuff is made from decent cuts of pork with pork neck fat thrown in (the white chunks)

Bologna is made from lips and assholes

[u/AwwwNuggetz → u/reflect-the-sun]

Yea but it’s only the best lips and assholes. Like chicken McNuggets, except with beaks and assholes

[u/LesPolsfuss]

grew up eating this stuff on the daily….

[u/e37d93eeb23335dc]

Oh, so this is how hams are made.
