My dad use to make fried bologna sandwhiches once in awhile when we were younger.... we loved it!
Haven't had one in ... probably about 30 years or so.

We go through tonnes of Prosciutto ham.... I buy it at the deli freshly sliced or I smuggle in loads of packets of it from Europe I don't buy any pre packaged meats here they are terrible quality. I get freshly sliced an taste some first. The Black Boar stuff is pretty tasteless IMO. I pay a small fortune for proper Swiss Cheese. The imported stuff as even the deli stuff here is a poor substitute...

I switch off every week with different types of Boar's Head cold cuts.

Imported Gourmet Ham
White American
Baby Swiss
Roast Turkey
Roast Chicken
Italian Roast Beef
Hard Salami
Beef Balogna

Always good crusty bread

Look for Amish-made Baby Swiss. (Or Baby Swiss made in Holmes County, Ohio.) If you don't like that, I don't know what to tell you.

First, we avoid Boar's Head like the plague. When a small retailer wants to add that brand, Boar's Head wants the owners to remove all of the competition. Plus, it is substantially more expensive than brands of similar quality.

We also avoid Sara Lee products as they are so absolutely bland.

What we do buy:

San Danielle proscuitto
Mortadella
Sopressata
Capicola
Hard salami

Braunschweiger, especially Kahn's and Usingers
Lebanon balogna

No turkey products, ever.

I'd vote for my people, the Germans. Much like the plains Native Americans felt about the buffalo, the Germans have to use the whole pig.

People DON'T fry it? I know you can eat it as is, but yick. LOL I grew up in Southern Virgina and we fried it. I prefer mine charred. For a special treat, we would put a Kraft single slice on it and make a sandwich. I probably haven't eaten that in 15 years!


We buy cold cuts, sometimes for the deli, sometimes out of the case. But it usually goes bad before we finish it.
