National Bologna Day

National Bologna Day

When : Always October 24

National Bologna Day is a full of baloney!

Properly spelled Bologna, it is sometimes spelled "Baloney". It is pronounced like the latter spelling. Bologna is a sausage. It's commonly used as a luncheon meat. Mom and kids know it well.

When it comes to bologna, there definitely is variety. There is what you and I would call regular Bologna, German Bologna, Beef Bologna, Kosher Bologna, and more. Depending upon the kind of Bologna, it could include pork, beef, chicken, and spices.

It's easy to enjoy National Bologna Day . Have a Bologna sandwich. And, don't forget the mustard.

We certainly hope that at the end of National Bologna Day, that you are "full of Baloney"!

*****

My congressional representatives celebrate this more often than once a year.

Lebanon Bologna is the bomb!! It's an all beef bologna thats smoked and spiced, typically found in the Northeast, specifically PA. My Dad, a native Pennsylvanian himself, introduced us to it at a very young age.

It's hard to find around here, but we managed to get our local Kroger to carry it in the deli. Diced up in little squares and served on a cheese and meat tray is the way I like it best.

For regular bologna, fried and on a sandwich is the only way to go.

What Dixie said about Lebanon bologna!
I just sat down at the PC after packing my lunch for work tonight. Fortunately, I have 2 on Roman Meal bread with butter and lot's O mustard in the bag!

My favorite was always "Oscar Myer" brand "Garlic Bolongna". But haven't been able to find it for yrs. (around here anyway) Regular "Oscar Myer" Bologna sure, but not the "garlic" kind.

Don't forget the ring bologna and ground bologna! (I'll have to look for the Lebanon. Never heard of it.)

Sounds good for breakfast in the AM. Fried bologna sandwich to start the day.

The old Fischer Packing Company in Louisville, KY, used to make barbecue bologna. That was one fine bologna.

In Ohio us Rednecks refer to Lebanon bologna as Summer Sausage.
They make two kinds,smokey and sweet.
Make sure you get the smoked because even the dogs wont lower themselves to eat the sweet!

Lebanon Bologna actually has a very distinctive, kind of tangy flavor that is much different than regular summer sausage. I've tried summer sausages (Hormel, Hickory Farms, etc.) and I don't like them near as much. And I agree, get the regular, not the sweet.

When most people first see it, they always think it's salami. Had one deli lady even try to tell me it was the same thing. Nooooooooooo ma'm it isn't. Not even close.

I used to order it online before our local grocer started carrying it.

My stomach started churning just reading about the "sweet". Thanks for the warning, but there's no way I would have tried it! I love summer sausage, so I'm going to be on the lookout for Lebanon. The best summer sausge I ever had was made by a small butcher/processor that I took my venison scraps to. Good stuff!

Back from the dead is this thread full of bologna. But I just had to mention, I just had, for the 1st time, Lebanon bologna. Got some at the deli, along with a few slices of German bologna. Never again will I buy the prepackaged stuff! Penny's right! Lebanon is da bomb! I've always bought the prepackaged stuff because it's cheaper. Or I guess it's me that's cheap. But after having Lebanon and German, I'll spend the extra! Mmmmmm good!

Misty, I'm cheap too. Or should I say "frugal"? But when you just have a hankerin' for Lebanon Bologna, nothing else will do, so I'll spend the extra too.

Brings back memories. As a rookie patrolman I would get what ever trustie was cook of the day to make me a fried baloney sandwich whenever I had to work Saturday or Sunday mornings. The chief was not there and I couldn't do this if he was. I'd have the trustie cut it thick and fry it with a pat of butter and place it on toast with mayo and mustard. Now that I've seen this thread I'll have another before the week is out.

After so many years making due on Navy pay, my wife hates bologna. I still love the stuff as long as it's fried or at camp, throw it on a grill.
Boars Head make some mighty fine baloney.

Iggy · #19 11-10-2009, 10:50 AM

I existed on Baloney, Velveeta cheese and Miracle Whip sammiches for 4 years of college and 2 years as a bachelor cop.

I have never ventured beyond the cheap pre-sliced stuff from the local grocery store and straight out of the refrigerator.

After a 40 some year hiatus, I just got back on a b'loney sammich kick a couple of weeks ago. I may have to broaden my horizons a bit.

When my daughter was about five, her fav was bologna and peas.

Ya heat up some canned peas, slap a piece of bologna into a skillet with a little oil (bologna doesn't contain enough fat and needs a little supplementation) and sauté it slowly. It'll curl up into a cup. Spoon the peas into that cup and serve. That is all.

I did it once just for the hell of it and she loved it. She wanted it for supper all the time (with some mashed spuds) for several years after that.

I got an email from her a couple of months ago. She's got my grandson hooked on it too.
