Hello Brent,

There's no mention on the Internet of Adelphi bologna or of that shop in Adelphi. However, there is a kind a ring bologna called "trail bologna" that is particular to Amish country in Ohio. Perhaps that is what Adelphi bologna was. "Trail bologna" is sometimes made of venison, but is made from beef just as often. It's made commercially in Ohio, most notably by the "Troy Trail Bologna Company." However, federal regulations won't allow them to ship it outside of Ohio. I could not find any source for any brand of it in Arizona.

There are a couple of trail bologna recipes below and you can get a kit here:

Hello Gladys,

There is no "sponged" cheesecake in any of our cookbooks or on the Internet. Perhaps you mean "sponge" cheesecake. See below.

Chocolate Sponge Cheesecake

Serves 10 - 12 
Ingredients:
1 packet sponge or tea cake mix 
3 tablespoons cocoa 
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (Tia Maria or Kahlua) 
1 tablespoon milk 
250g cream cheese 
1/4 cup sugar 
1 egg 
3 teaspoons gelatine 
2 tablespoons water 
3 tablespoons chocolate liqueur, extra 
300ml thickened cream 
2 tablespoons cocoa, extra 
2 teaspoons icing sugar 
60g flaked almonds 
 

Method:
Make sponge according to directions on packet but add sifted cocoa before 
starting to beat. When cooked turn on to a wire rack to cool. When cake is
cold, cut two very thin slices (about 5mm in thickness) from base of cake.
Remaining cake can be used to make additional cheesecakes or frozen for 
future use. Use the base of a deep, round 18cm cake tin as a guide and trim 
both layers of cake to this size. Line the base and sides of the 18cm tin 
with strips of aluminium foil, bringing the foil over the sides to make the 
cake easier to remove. Place one layer of cake into tin and brush with half 
the combined Tia Maria and milk.

Have cream cheese at room temperature. Use an electric mixer to combine with 
sugar and egg, beating until smooth. Sprinkle gelatine over water, dissolve 
over hot water, add extra Tia Maria to gelatine mixture, add to cream cheese 
mixture, beat in cream until just combined. Pour cream cheese mixture over 
cake in tin. Place remaining layer of cake on top, brush with remaining Tia 
Maria and milk mixture and refrigerate for several hours or overnight until 
set. Remove from tin, place on serving plate. Dust top with combined sifted 
extra cocoa and icing sugar, press toasted almonds around side. Cut and serve.

To toast almonds:
Place almonds on oven tray in moderate oven for 5 minutes or until golden
brown.Cool before using.

Hi Tracy,

I found the below recipe on a message board.

Phaed

Noi Szeszely (Nui se-say-y)Lady's Whim
This is a hungarian dessert.
"Noi Szeszely has an extra rich cake base spread with raspberry jam and 
topped with a nut merinque. Serve it with tea in the afternoon or as a 
dessert alone with another kind of pastry. Be sure to let noi szeszely 
cool thoroughly before cutting it and do not cover it, not even with waxed 
paper or the merinugue will collapse. The cake bottom is so rich it will stay 
moist for days without being wrapped or refrigerated. This recipe is from my
Hungarian Cookbook. My grandfather, Henry Piriczky and his descendants were
Hungarian."

Noi Szeszely
3 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 lbs. butter
1 c. vanilla sugar
6 egg yolks
about 1 c. raspberry jam
9 egg whites
1 1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 c. (6 ozs.) coarsely ground walnuts or hazelnuts.

Preheat the oven to 350*F. Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder.
Cut the butter into small pieces and work them into the flour, using your 
hands or a pastry whisk. Work in the vanilla sugar and the egg yolks, and 
squeeze the dough together into a mound. Pat it into an unbuttered jelly-roll
pan (15 1/2 by 10 1/2 by 1 inch),place it in the preheated oven, and bake 
for 10 minutes. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then spread the jam evenly
over the entire surface. Turn the oven down to 300*F and beat the egg whites
until frothy. Add the confectioners' sugar 1/4 c. at a time, and continue
beating until very stiff. Fold in the ground nuts and spread the mixture
evenly over the jam. Bake in the preheated 300* oven for 20 minutes or more,
until the merinque is lightly browned. Remove from the oven, cool in the
pan, and cut into neat squares. Do not cover the cake.
