we loves our bologna out here...

Karen made "good old bologna stew!"

Susan did some up with bbq sauce and onions

Christine did hers thick-cut and fried, with scalloped potatoes and yellow wax beans.

Beverley "Cooked this for the first time today in over 30 years. Bologna and gravy with potatoes and green peas. And it didn't disappoint either. Anyone else eat this meal?"

and, I know, bologna is popular everywhere... but for added context:

Newfoundland has a local cookbook dedicated to preparing bologna

and the Maple Leaf foods bologna stick is a consistent hit at the St. John's Santa Claus Parade year after year

Is there any discernible difference between cooked bologna and hot dogs?

I've always wanted a Two Whales Coffee Cookbook and now I want The Bologna Cookbook as well. Too bad I'm on a book buying hiatus while we work on selling our house.

Wait, bologna is popular everywhere? I'm not sure that's true!

BA-- when I was in kindergarten I wanted SO BADLY to have a boloney sandwhich on white bread with american cheese slices. My parents made it for me one time and I found out boloney is really just a flat hotdog? I was sooooooo sad!

maybe popular is the wrong word... but I think it's a pretty pervasive/common item across north America, is it not? I mean, bologna sandwiches are kind of a north american classic, right?

my french-canadian father with family on both sides of the windsor-detroit border grew up eating roast bologna (so, we were subject to that ourselves as kids, despite the otherwise seed-to-table driven upbringing I had).

in my recollection, the texture is pretty different

I remember eating bologna sandwiches as a kid and I know there is a regional "fried bologna" - maybe PA? - but having lived in several places on the east coast, DD and none of her friends have ever said anything about eating bologna in any fashion.

Now, I am craving a bologna sandwich on white bread with yellow mustard. It was what the cool kids ate. Mine was always on some sort of homemade wheat bread made by my dad.

Yes. Fried thick cut bologna is the bomb. (Traditionally with mayo, but I like it with mustard and cheddar - basically fry the bologna and then do a fried bologna and grilled cheese sandwich. Sooooo good.)

Yes. Although, I can't remember the last time (other than this thread) I have heard anyone mention bologna. Except maybe as a nostalgia type of comment.

But, I agree. I'd put it up there with american chop suey/goulash/chili-mac, spam, etc.

On the other hand-- I am not sure how common eating bologna in the context above is. It seems like it's subbing in for ham in almost every occasion above.

If I had to choose one, I would go for the stew and not eat the bologna.

Bologna on white bread slathered with mayo and just enough iceberg lettuce to add some crunch. Soul food.

I ate a fried bologna and egg sandwich after my race Saturday.

I don't eat it regularly, but I do it eat it. But definitely not in a casserole.

Man. I haven't had bologna since I was a kid. Age 10 or 11 maybe? It was around when I was growing up, but mortadella and capicola were far more likely to be found in our refrigerator.

BonitaApplebum · « **Reply #172 on:** September 20, 2019, 05:45:42 PM »

I can’t remember my mom ever making us bologna sandwiches. Maybe my grandmother might have?

diablita · « **Reply #173 on:** September 20, 2019, 05:52:40 PM »

I didn't mind bologna as a kid but man did I hate pimento loaf. Disgusting. My middle sister would ask for it for lunch when she'd want to get even with me. And I'd ask for cream cheese and jelly (her dislike).

mortadella is not SO dissimilar...

Oh no, I had buried the foul memory of pimento loaf! Now it's staggering around my brain like a speckled zombie

. Fortunately, none of my sibs liked it either, so it made only the occasional appearance in our lunches. Just often enough to remind us how good we had it most of the time.

i would just like to inform all of you ladies that it IS bologna sandwich weather.

diablita · « **Reply #178 on:** September 21, 2019, 08:13:44 AM »

macaroni and cheese loaf???

ihop · « **Reply #179 on:** September 21, 2019, 08:55:16 AM »

What is macaroni and cheese loaf?

And I haven’t thought about pimiento loaf in years. I vaguely remember liking it - I assume it was the salt factor.
