Fried Bolonga

“anyone still eat it this way. I can remember buying the bulk package and slicing off a thick piece and frying it up..yum”

“People haven't done that since the '30s.”

“Come on Ewker. You know it's bolony not bologna. I thought you were from the south.”

“BTW, around here it's known as Arkansas Round Steak.”

“young bison, has so much to learn

Arky, it was called East Nashville Steak when I was a kid

“Isn't that Canadian bacon?”

“My wife has a fried bolony sandwich from time to time. Stinks the house up to high heaven.

I perfer to eat real meat.”

“Bologna is mystery meat. Just like spam. They are both gross.”

“Right. Pressed road kill!”

“yep, I still eat it that way from time to time. Throw it on toast with mustard and texas pete. yum yum. I have even introduced it to my 5 yo son. He digs it.”

“They used to serve fried bologna (baloney)on a regular basis in the Navy...but then, that was the Navy. Fried spam was a treet when I was a kid.”

“The key is to find someone that makes "real" bologna. That packaged crap is nasty.”

“We get spiced deer sausage from my wife's uncle. Makes his own. THAT stuff is good. I'll have to try it fried.”

“years ago it was the real stuff. today is a mixture of lots of things...lol

Nimblefoot...Spam isn't Treet, two different products ;)”

“You guys missed the only spam pun that I have 8(.”

“Limpy: canadian bacon is HAM.

Wounded Knee / Creek Dancer: I disagree, but hey, that's why there are different kinds of food. You have probably never had a good bar-b-que sammich either.

Arky/techntrek: yup!!”

“Funny how the thought of eating frickin' head chease meat, tails, and gawd only knows what else makes me retch but the word bolony makes my mouth water.

Cheese and mustard is the only way to go IMHO. I also like the olive loaf, pickle loaf but pinchin'a loaf is best of all!”

“(CBS) Ohio has as many classic stories as it does unique food attractions. The latest CBS Sunday Morning Roadside made a stop in Waldo, Ohio.

There, fried bologna sandwiches are the biggest draw in the middle of the town’s local institution, G&R Tavern. The 35-year-old pub on Mario Street attracts loyal customers from miles around who enjoy the “world famous bologna” – maybe the biggest you have ever seen.

It is not the thin, packaged bologna people normally want to forget from childhood, as a waitress explains. This one-of-a-kind bologna is sliced thick as hamburgers and the logs of meat are made just for the restaurant.

To make everybody happy is impossible. But G&R Tavern pushes the limit. Mary Blevins, co-owner of the pub, says they will change the flavor attending to individual’s needs.

Nevertheless, most people come for the same toppings – jack cheese, pickles and onions.

“What makes it good is from the heat of the grill,” says Ms. Blevins. “It really fries [the sandwich] very crispy on both sides.”

No highbrow stuff, it is just simple and solid food at “country” prices. But sometimes, that’s where to find the real food, not to mention a nice drive on the country road. And, customers say, they can never have enough of it.

“The humble fried bologna sandwich (most would properly call it "baloney") also jumps out as a bold new menu item. I'm guessing more people than would care to admit grew up eating this fried variety meat on bread. It's a fatty, salty chunk of childhood memories for some of us. And although we haven't seen FB sandwiches on local stadium menus, they have been popular for years at at least one other sports venue, the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, N.Y., home to the National Hockey League's Sabres.

In Buffalo, they fry thick cuts of bologna on a flat-top grill and serve the lunch meat on soft bread rolls with fried green bell peppers, tender onions and melted American cheese. (Obviously, if you're hankering for a baloney sandwich, health is not a priority.)

"The baloney should be a little crisp and brown on the edges," advises Pete Wierchowski, HSBC commissary manager. "The Canadians (fans) even like it burned a little."

“Ingredients:
1 slice round Bologna, sliced 1/2" inch wide X 1/2 inch thick pieces
1/2 small white onion
2 Tbs. Olive Oil
1 slices 1/2 inch thick Texas Toast
2 slices Jalapeno Jack Cheese, sliced thick
2 slices tomato
12 stuffed green olives, chopped
2 Jalapeno peppers, stems removed and chopped
lettuce, chopped
Miracle Whip, ready made or make your own

Instructions:
Sauté the onion until clear and add the bologna. Cook until meat just turns brown, don't burn the onions. Toast the bread and put the cheese on both slices and let it melt. Combine the stuffed olives and peppers. Pat this mixture into the cheese on the bread. Add the bologna and onions. Top with lettuce and tomato slices. Spread with Miracle Whip and serve.”

“OK, I gotta ask it, where's Waldo?”

“"I also like the olive loaf, pickle loaf but pinchin'a loaf is best of all!" -Nigal

olive loaf - yup
pickle loaf - yup
pinchin'a loaf - aaaaaahhh”

“TD, there is a restaurant in Nashville on Nolensville road that has a fried boloney sandwich on their menu. I haven't eaten there but I have heard it is good.”

“HPM's mom still does.”

“I never thought anyone ate balony much less fried it before I moved here...balony seems to be a staple for people in hammond indiana.......”

“We got several around here.. that have friend bologna on their menu.. It might be somewhat a small town thing.. Nashvillians just think maybe they are "too good" to be eating fried bologna?

;)”

“In CA, we made fun of people who shopped at walmarts and ate baloney...”

“We make fun of Californians.”

“Sounds good except for 2 things. Replace the olive oil with bacon grease & the Miracle Whip with real mayo. Also, lose the olives.

I can feel my heart stopping just by thinking about it.”

“I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow.”

“All I can say is, Eeewwwwwww”

“Arky: hehe.. for real. I prefer real mayo. I got no problem with the bacon grease either, but shoot I also happen to think that "wilted green salad" is good eating!”

“mmmmm, mmmmmm, fried bologna, egg and cheese with mayo on toast. Try it!”

The went there because of the local store that had the best boloney sammiches. It was their undoing, thye all got caught. All they could think of was those baloney sammiches!”

“ewker: lmao. I thought I fixed that typo. I musta got busy and forgot it.”

“I keep thinking this says:

“Karo, you just made me homesick! I know where Bucksnort is! lol Good ole' Tennessee...
BTW, fried baloney sandwhiches rock! My grandma and mom both made them for me growing up. Actually my mom still makes them when I'm home!”

“Every time I'm cooking steaks on the grill my wife puts bolonga on also. Maybe its a southern or redneck thaaang. Hey try it its good.”

“I once worked in a sausage factory. I'd eat alot of the stuff that I cooked before balongna.”

“hell yeah its a southern thang,i grew up eatin fried baloney on white bread with mayo..have even ate it pickled,like pickled sausage.mmmm here in gawga we'll fry most anything.a little grease will keep your coat shiny...”
