I've been eating fried bologna my whole life. I usually like to fry thicker slices but my kids like slices you can see through. I posted these pics on another thread.

That was my question, not your dig.

Dig? I answered an honest question. You should see some of the sandwiches I eat if you think that's a mess.

My dad used to cut up bologna into small pieces and mix it up with eggs and scramble them. Great stuff.

Yep...been there, done that!!!

I'm hesitant to use eggs in it, though.

I just call it bologna spread. It sure is tasty when nicely seasoned.

Sounds like a tuna or chicken salad with bologna instead of tuna or chicken. That would logically make it a bologna salad, IMHO.

INGREDIENTS
4 eggs
1 (16 ounce) package bologna
1 (16 ounce) jar creamy salad dressing or mayonnaise
sweet pickle relish

DIRECTIONS
Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.

Chop, or Grind the bologna and eggs in a meat grinder with a medium blade.

In a large bowl, mix the bologna mixture with desired amount of mayonnaise or creamy salad dressing and desired amount of sweet pickle relish. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, or until chilled.

Optional Additions: Chopped celery; chopped onions; chopped scallions.

To keep it on-topic, frying the bologna would probably be an interesting variation.

MiamiDon,
Sounds great...what do you call it?

I noticed,however,cheap bologna has so much grease and doesn't taste as good as the good stuff...don't like Oscar mayer..too greasy...use boar"s head, or the like!

That smacks of a whole new topic or three.

Meal stretchers I couldn't find when I searched, but these are from a search of the word "leftovers", and are all pretty interesting.

I still love bologna, and fried bologna sandwiches, and bologna meat salad (spread). I still resort to some of Mom's ideas to stretch a less than full pantry or freezer, or to simply recall some of her ideas for a good comfort food supper. AGain, what wonderful memories.

Thanks, MiamiDon, that's the first time I've actually seen a bologna salad or spread. I'll have to try it pronto.

Wow, that sounds nasty to me.

It's similar to what is done with ham, which is quite traditional. If one cut the bologna in chunks, it's bologna salad.

Was in Waldo on Tuesday for some real estate business with my wife's family farm. The G&R is as good as ever - made the 450 mile drive from Virginia easy just thinking about it. The sandwich may have gone up a quarter, they're now $3.75 - and worth every penny. Beers are still $2.00.

It all depends on what you plan to do with it. If you're going to fry it, I suggest you ask them to cut it at least 1/2 to 5/8 inch thick. See the picture below your original post. If you're going to smoke it, it could range from a chunk weighing a pound to a whole roll of bolonga. For sandwiches, your choice.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will go to the deli tomm.

A Hillbilly Hamburger would hit the spot right about now.

Tastes almost like a grilled hot dog to me when I fry up the thin slices from the deli. Never had it thick cut.
