The Truth About Bologna Meat Finally Revealed 

What's the best way to eat bologna?

Going to college back in the early 80’s there was this small local restaurant/bar that served fried bologna sandwiches with the bologna cut approximately 1” thick, then coated with Texas Pete hot sauce that had been reducing in a pan until it was a thick paste. The toppings were sliced fresh tomatoes, sliced onions. lettuce, mustard, dill pickles piled high on a large hamburger bun. You also got Krinkle fries and a glass of Budweiser all for $3.25....damn near heaven!

I still love bologna. My son picked up a package for me today. Yum! As a kid growing up in the fifties and sixties we ate it frequently, not out of necessity but out of love. My mom was a Southern cook and believe me, we ate well. Many times, we ate steak, sometimes even lobster. It was not unlike living in a restaurant. Bologna? It's just round meat you put on a sandwich. I love it!

Growing up in Buffalo, this was tradition. I moved to Rochester and they looked at me like I was crazy when asking for fried balow-knee sandwich.

WOW, everything you wanted to know about bologna! Very informative and interesting, especially for a sixty-something guy like me, whose Mom often sent me off to grade school with a brown bag lunch consisting of a baloney sandwich (one slice on white bread with mayo and mustard), a bag of chips or Fritos and an orange or an apple. This was in the 1960s, so no classroom fridges and no AC in the entire school (the school was built in the early 1900s). I paid the price one hot September day when, about two hours after eating my baloney sandwich, I was overcome with waves of nausea. I ran out of the classroom in an attempt to reach the boys' room in the basement of the school, but, despite my attempt to hold it in, I violently projectile vomited all over the walls and steps leading to the basement. I spent the next 5 days in bed with what amounted to dysentery and a high fever. The only time in my life I had food poisoning (likely due to the mayo spoiling in the heat of the classroom). Haven't eaten a baloney sandwich since. Maybe I'll try one of the "fancy" baloney dishes featured in this video.

I must say , that I grew up eating bologna as well as Spam and hotdogs. My favorite part of eating the bologna was eating the meat off of the red casing, because it made my bologna sandwich ( last ) longer. I still have a special place in my heart ❤️ for this delicious charcuterie especially if it is barbecued and served on a brioche bun. However, I get tickled when I hear people say that they ( hate bologna) , but will ( eat ) a hotdog 🌭. Now mind you, I’m not talking about (a sausage) , I’m talking about ( a hotdog ). That is very amusing indeed.

Fried bologna with lettuce and tomato yes I loved it and I still do I rather not think what might be in it and just enjoy a nice fried bologna sandwich

1946 Mrs. Wonderley went to work at the Kendrick K to 12 School(later K to 5) in Kendrick, Okla. She was there until 1978, when at 80 years of ago she retired. She was know to add things to the school lunches that came from her home garden to add flavor to the school lunches.

Favorite way is to go to the meat market and order it thick sliced, like quarter pound slices, and then coating that in a smashed pretzel and grated Parmesan cheese mix (flour egg flour method but replace second flour with the pretzel and cheese mix) and pan frying it, topping with American cheese after the first flip. Serve that on toasted bread or a toasted bun, with a little mayo and mustard. And yes, I can hear all your hearts palpitating from here. I only do this a couple times a year

that's weird just had some fried bologna and fried eggs for a snack.

I don't think we even thought about frying Bologna. My mom fried Spam though. I remember that stuff.

I used to have butter and bologna sandwiches in the 1970s. Sometimes I used to have bologna sandwiches with mayonnaise or miracle whip. I can't have sandwiches anymore because nowadays they are making bread with the consistency of a kitchen sponge (too tough and tasteless) or it turns into bread dough in my mouth (too soft). Yuck!!

I love Bologna with some HomeGrown Tomatos and a little salt.
