For those on the go:


The cucumber, watercress and foie gras flatlanders don't knows what they's missin'.

Growing up, I can't recall a time where we didn't have a roll of red hillbilly baloney (with the skin) mayo, mustard, lettuce and tomatoes in the fridge and Wonder Bread on the fridge. Bacon grease and a cast iron skillit idling on the stove. Bread & Butter Pickles and Pork Rinds.

Hillbilly Haute Cuisine Indeed.

"Cheese the Day".

I still have one of those sandwiches even if they aren't the healthy choice they taste pretty good.

I remember many a supper where the main dish was fried bologna. Well, baloney. Nobody told me we were poor. Haven't had any baloney since I left home 50 years ago.

 

[Ole Joe Clark]

Ate many of them, and still do. There was a time in my childhood that bologna was a luxury we could not afford.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Aaahh, peeling the skin off a slice then going after that little rind that stuck to the loop!

Somebody said the magic word; PORKRINDS! Then my teenage years reappear.

Rusty, you bein' half English on your mama's side and all, I don't consider you a hillbilly.

I consider you a Mountain William!

Growing up we had many a meal consisting of fried baloney, fresh tomatoes and mayo. A nice break from fried potatoes, pinto beans and cornbread. Still get a craving for that though from time to time. You can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

I have consumed my quota of the 'round steak.'
Haven't eaten any in years.
Did you live way out there?
Did the local stores have hoop cheese?
That would be a big circular cheese which sat on a rotary cutting apparatus.
You rotate the cheese then cut a chunk with the swinging blade.
It wasn't refrigerated. It was sat there and sweated.
Or maybe it was respiration. It is, after all a no sweat world!
It would be 'served' on a piece of butcher paper with crackers.
And often with bologna.
The cheese folks in Wisconsin know about it-

DESCRIPTION
A traditional Wisconsin Cheddar cheese wheel, sometimes referred to as hoop cheese. In the southern United States, a 22 pound cheddar wheel would be displayed on a counter and wedges would be cut from the wheel.

Hmmmm, I seem to remember having that a time or two as a kid. One of the most versitile food to ever grease up a plate. Even just roll up a slice of cheese in it and be on your way, quick and easy.

How long have you had it?

I can remember about '57 or so. Summertime we hit the ball field about 10. First game was over around 1130. Everybody on your bikes back to your house where Mom had a baloney sandwich waiting. Had to sit down at the kitchen table to eat it. Grabing the sandwich and getting back on the bike was not allowed. I remember sometimes getting pickle and pemento which was baloney with chopped up stuff in sometimes too. Then back for game two which maybe was softball for a little change. Baloney or not there were no fat kids.
The city provided a baloney sandwich for lunch a couple times in my teen years.

We do it here with Lebanon Bologna, also known as Railroad Ham!

 

[Comrad]

Hot baloney and cheese, two slices Wonder Bread, couple slices baloney and slice of American, microwave for a minute or two and enjoy.

I'm getting hungry.

I like fried bologna with mayo and fried onions sandwich. If in a hurry just use raw bologna with mayo and raw onions. Larry

That brings back a good memory. The cheese was so much per pound so after the slice was cut it was weighed to see the cost. Larry

 

[Grayfox]

I've eaten bologna pretty much my whole life. Nothing quite like a good fried bologna and cheese sandwich.
I remember as a kid running around with my Grandfather. We'd stop by the little country store out where he lived and get 5 cents worth of bologna, 5 cents worth of cheese, a nickle pack of crackers and wash it all down with a 10 cent coke-cola. Lunch cost us all of a quarter.

Ok, now fess up. How many of you spelled bologna by singing the Oscar Mayer song in your head? B-O-L-O-G-N-A!

I hestitate to mention this, but-
Hillbilly = Bible Belt
You are more likely to encounter Moonshine than imported Vodka.
