Over 800 MILLION pounds of Bologna are consumed in the USA every year. That's about 2.5#'s for every man, woman and child living in the country!
 
What do you like in your Boloney Sandwich?
Me? I like mayo, sharp cheddar, lettuce and tomato on rye or whole wheat.

Just yellow mustard and rye bread for me.

The same way I ate them growing up, just bologna and white bread. If I have them I add chips to it.

Ooops, I guess I forgot something ........

Yellow mustard and American cheese on white bread.
 
Though I usually go for bologna's better looking older sister, Mortadella. Then it'll get a slice of provolone, maybe some soppressata, and a couple slices of tomato on a crusty roll or Italian bread.

In Western Pennsylvania they don't call it bologna. They call it Jumbo.

The Jumbo Baloney eaten in Western PA is actually produced in Washington, D.C.!!

Exactly right. 
 
A few years ago I told my brother's father-in-law we were going to the Strip District. He asked me to get him a couple of 'ponds' of garlic jumbo.  I had to ask him what the heck that was.
 
 

To make matters even more complicated, in Western PA they do not call it "shaved", they call it chipped jumbo.  My mother was visiting me once in Boston and she asked for a 1/2 lb. of "chipped jumbo".  The guy behind the counter had NO clue.

A chipped jumbo?  Well I never!
 
Bologna that has been smoked low and slow is a thing to relish.

Nothing like a fried bologna sandwich at the G&R Tavern in Waldo, Ohio. Nice and thick, on a hamburger bun. Most folks get it with sliced onions and pickles. I just want mustard on mine.
 
At the Red Door Tavern in Columbus they call their versions a Hillbilly Hamburger and a Hillbilly Cheeseburger.
 
At my campsite we just call it good.

I love a thick fried bologna sandwich.

No,relish is what you put ON your smoked bologna, along with some mustard.

West Virginia Hot Bologna sandwiches!!  Best way to have bologna.  I think I'll make some this week.
