So pretty sure it is pretty much what they brought to the US. It is just as ghetto tasting, unless your parents also got the giant chunks inside of the red plastic casing that you had to self cut. Then yes that was ubber ghetto, but been there done that.
It is sold as Italian here. You have always been able to buy a sort of version of the casing one over here but they call it polony. It isn't exactly the same but just as low class as the stuff I grew up around.

If I am going to eat a sausage like that, the PA dutch gal in me has to make it ring bologna. It is nearly always on offer at any social gathering my Nana throws.
