...it was always called SOS at our house...my Dad was in the Army...
Dad was a 20 year Marine so we had SOS on a regular
basis along with fried bologna, and spam.

I'm not picky but Steak Umm was flat nasty.
Much preferred Boil a Bags, beef or chicken a la king. Tasty
but the fat and salt were off the charts.

Boil a bag?
So you boil the bag, throw away the ala Rey,
Then eat the bag?
That does sound nasty!
I'm a little late. Any left?
While we are talking about Redneck cuisine....

I'm confrused?
What does baloney (we called it loney meat) have to do with
being a hillbilly? I grew up in the flatlands of South Georgia.
My screen name is a reflection of the area I grew up in; the
Red Level. We kept a hoop of cheese and a tube of loney meat
on hand at all times. We ate it, and we sold it to the people
who worked on the farm. Fifty cents worth of loney meat, a
quarter's worth of cheese, some saltine crackers, and a couple
of Royal Crown Colas made many a meal for me, my brothers,
and a bunch of peach pickers during the 50s-60s-70s.
Just saying that hillbillies ain't the onliest ones who eat/ate this
culinary delight.

I grew to hate Baloney, but loved that cheese. All the stores had
a wheel of Long Horn sitting out. My old man would get a hunk of
cheese, baloney, crackers, and a big dill pickle- it was lunch.
The difference between us hillbillies and the flat landers , is we
drink coffee with our Moon Pie, them low landers wash them down with Dr. Pepper or RC. This practice is unacceptable in the
higher elevations. Any of you remember what the general store
smelled like?

Looks like a lot of folks had the regular baloney.
What about the Rag Baloney?
How many of you folks have eaten that?
It's reported to mostly be a Southern treat.
I haven't actually eaten enough baloney up in the larger latitude numbers to know for sure.

Pawngal you made me hungry because my Mother made " ham salad" like that when I was a kid. It is my favorite use of balogna! All these years I thought she had a secret recipe!
I remember well the time I was anointed a hillbilly. I was 4 years old and it was mid July and new neighbors had moved in and I made friends with Jimmy who was my age. We were playing outside when his "mama" hollered for him to come and eat lunch and they asked me to join them, as she made the bologna sammiches she asked what I wanted on mine and I said mustard she then asked if I was a hillbilly I said sure I am, she said well hillbillies only eat mayonnaise on their bologna I said what's that ? Then she fried the bologna, which I have never seen, WHHHhhhaaaa, fried bologna !! She then made our sammiches with the maters and mayonnaise and asked what I wanted to drink, I said milk please, she said what ? I thought you was a hillbilly boy ! I said I am, she then poured me my 1st ever glass of sweet tea. I learned a lot hanging around Jimmy and his family and loved every minute of it well except the cornbread in the buttermilk for breakfast thing, but that was the day I became a hillbilly.

When we were poor and lived in South Louisiana our fancy Saturday night supper was fried baloney until
It cupped. Then filled with pork and beans!
Big old rolls of baloney...big wheels of longhorn cheese back home in. Central Texas.
Have not eaten baloney in years, but this tread made me hungry!!!

Mmmmm. Banana Moon Pies.
My dad would use ring baloney boiled with fried potatoes. He also would grind baloney with sweet pickles for a sandwhich spread.

Well Hell Yeah!
Mine and Grandpa's lunch that I posted earlier was usually rag bologna and hoop cheese. Rag bologna goes better with crackers. Regular red bologna is better for sandwiches.
I just didn't mention it in the earlier post because its just common knowledge among us bologna connoisseurs. I figured that with the level of expertise on this board, y'all already knew that.
My school locker always smelled like bologna and some 50 yrs later I just can't bring myself to eat it.

Several things;
Number one! I had a nice dinner and now I'm hungry.
My wife and I eat fried bologna sandwiches pretty often.
I use 2 bologna slices and one slice of cheese. I then fry it like a grilled cheese.
We also partake in the redneck, BLT; Bologna, tomato, cheese, lettuce and Mayo.
For many years the local grocer would slice meat and cheese like you wanted and put it in your choice of bread. I was there one day when he was making a couple of sandwiches for construction workers. I had him slice a steak size chunk of deli bologna and cheese put Mayo on it and wheat bread. I took it to the phone office for out daily pitch game, that sandwich raised lots of talk. The next day the other guys had one too.
I still buy triple thick deli bologna and fry it with cheese.
Rusty you win the Betty Crocker food gold star for today.
As a farm boy bologna was the only meat in our fridge that did not grow up and get butchered on our farm.
We had chickens, lots of chickens, I had to gather and wash lots of eggs, Mom took 3 dozen or so to work every day along with several gallons of milk I hand squeezed out of a Jersey and a Guernsey.
We had eggs a plenty. Quite often I cooked bologna, eggs and bacon and used some thin tomatoes and lettuce grown in our garden and made a super hillbilly dagwood.
Did I mention I was getting hungry. I've lost 15 pounds Rusty, you're killing me. I'll be back in a few.
Ok I found crackers but no bologna.
