Nothin' wrong with pork, and the fat's where moat of the flavor is.

Trader Joe's sells a pretty good Italian made Mortadella which has pistachios in the mix.

One of my first jobs was in a convent, caring for patients in the nursing home. They had fried bologna every Thursday night. I had never had it before but it was really good!

You can take the same sandwich fillings - in this case your balogna/baloney - and put it on flour tortillas, roll them up and then cut them into slices. We call those rollups, dunno what everyone else calls them.

You can do either of the above with fried balogna for a different version.

You can slice up the bologna into thin strips and put it on a chef's salad.

You can dice it up and add it to scrambled eggs or an omelet.

You can dice it up and put it in macaroni and cheese.

You could probably dice it up and put it in chili, although that's getting towards odd.

You can take a small fancy cookie cutter and cut the bologna up into cutsie little shapes. Get a cracker, add a dab of cream cheese, stick a cutsie bologna shape on it and stab it with a toothpick that has an olive on it. Voila! Canapes.

Roll them up with the cream cheese inside and say they are carnivore's cannoli.
Who are you? Bologna Gump?

Yes, we used to do this when we were little. I usually liked to have it in a flour tortilla with mustard and sometimes with cheddar cheese. We also used to do the flame and fork thing with wienies until they were nicely charred. We'd eat the wienies off the fork, making sure to blow at the fork tines while we ate lest we burn ourselves when we got to the middle. My mom hated how we messed up all the forks by doing this.

Unlike most in this thread I eat bologna fairly regularly. Sometimes months may go by where I don't buy or eat it, but certainly not years.

The last time I ate bologna was about a month ago. I had been having cravings for bologna salad sandwiches. Until then I hadn't had one in quite a few years. The only times that I can remember eating them is at baby showers or funeral receptions. I decided to make my own and went looking online for recipes. I also asked my mom how she made hers. After considering all the recipes, I decided to make mine very simply. I made it with just three ingredients, bologna, sweet pickle relish and mayonnaise. It came out quite good and pretty much how I remember.

When I was a kid, there was a bakery in our neighborhood with the absolute best Crusty Italian bread. Every other week my aunt, uncle, and cousins would come in from out of town. Gramma would cook pasta and meatballs, the sauce for dinner would simmer all day, and that bread was a staple.

The cousins and I would play outside all day, after church, until dinnertime.

Lunch for us kids was usually a quick couple of sandwiches made with that wonderful bread slathered with butter, and believe it or not, balogna!! Fabulous.

I wish I could re-create that. I do still like balogna, but it's not the same.

I didn't see salami the day of buying the bologna. It's another item I've not eaten in I don't know how many years. It has a whole different taste from bologna. ABQalex's post reminds me I have sweet pickles, so maybe tomorrow I'll have a bologna sandwich with those pickles!

Make a cut from the center of the slice out to the edge then fry it up. The slit will open up and smile at you. Put it on a hamburger roll with a slice of tomato (or not). I used to make these and called them Pac Man sandwiches. The kids loved it.

There are many uses for the parts of animals you don't exaclty normally want "crawling around on your plate", but still tastes good. One of them is bologna.

We had TOO MUCH of it as a kid...a bolgna sandwich 3 xs a week with cheese.

BUT my spouse and I get occasional cravings for it, and PREFER GERMAN BOLOGNA. There is something tasty!
ALthough I hate squishy white bread, it seems to be a favorite here, and I cannot argue.

I jsut LOVE Fried bologna sandwiches, too! nice and carmelized/chared, tasty!

Thnak goodness we just picked up some GERMAN BOLOGNA today the deli on sale for $1.99/lb!

I can go have a sammie now...on squishy wheat split top bread {bought for the sammies}

I have completely given up on food packaging. The resealable bags don't leave enough to grab above the zipper part, so you can grab it and open it again. I don't even try anymore. I just get out my kitchen scissors, then put the opened package into a zip lock bag.

OP, you can freeze baloney. Put a few slices in a few different ziplock freezer bags, so you can satisfy your baloney cravings when desired without having to buy another whole package.
