So many years have gone by since I had a bologna sandwich, when I saw it yesterday I decided to buy some. Little did I know opening it would be so difficult. The label says "Resealable," which sounds like a good idea, so I didn't want to destroy that ability, but couldn't see a way to get into the package.
Finally went to the website and discovered this major brand belonged to another major brand and apparently didn't have much standing from the lack of notice on the website. I finally gave up and took a sharp ice pick-like tool that was handy and began experimenting. Finally successful!
I had the sandwich. Now, what to do with the remaining slices of bologna? Is there any way to serve it besides in a sandwich? (I still think it should be spelled baloney.)
Fried bologna with eggs or in a sandwich. Next time, my DH swears by Boars Head beef bologna from the deli, so you can just buy a little at a time. Or, you could freeze it.
Yeah, fried bologna is a guilty pleasure. make a few one-inch cuts in from the edges, or it will curl up in the frying pan. All the wonderful hidden salt and grease and sugar comes out in profusion when it is fried, makes a great sandwich on sliced factory-made white bread.
Also delicious cut into thumbnailsezed pieces and stirred into scrambled eggs. Fry up the pieces of balogna in the frying pan first, until almost turning black,then break in the eggs and gently stir them to scramble. Never add milk to scramble eggs, and never stir the color-separation out of them, or they'll turn out like the ones in the warming trays at cheap motels.
Or, fry some strips of bologma, whip up a cream sauce, and serve creamed bologna on toast.
I'm going from memory, here, I haven't tried any of these things for 30 or 40 years. But when I go on long road trips by myself, bologna sandwiches are a daily staple,, with lettuce, mayo, and a bag of chips. Put the chips right in the sandwich, for wonderful mouth feel.

We do not eat Bologna often so when I do get a craving for it I will go to the Deli and have 4 slices cut and purchase those. That is enough to satisfy the craving for the next year without having leftovers.
You could fry it and have it with eggs but other than that if I had almost an entire package leftover I would feed it to the outdoor critters.
Once a year I may buy bologna..and cheap, soft wheat bread...
I have 3 sandwiches over 3 days (mine with mustard) ...then, break up
the rest for the birds...it's gone the next day.
Loved 'em in childhood so much!
wow, I had to look up this bologna business to discover it is a cheap version of mortadella... oh, the things you'll learn!
I think mortadella is a cheaper version of all beef bologna. Mortadella is made with pork and contains at least 15% fat when made in Europe. If it's made in the US, no fat is added.
When I was in high school and regularly babysat for the family next door, they always had me fix fried bologna for their dinner. I probably haven't had it since, but now I'm going to have to go out and buy a few slices and relive my youth. Thanks for the blast from the past!
