'mortadela' as an insult.
Since this has been opened up again...
For anyone with experience in ex-Soviet countries... how similar is Doctor's Sausage (Докторская колбаса) to Polish mortadela...
Given the Polish tendency to rename dishes from Russia (Russian Olivier salad as sałatka jarzynowa or wiosenna, Chicken Kiev as "De volaille") could mortadela just be Doctor's Sausage given a non-Russian name?
Does anyone know when/how it was introduced to Poland?
