OK. Definition, please.
Bologna in the bulk roll where they slice it for you, vs. the pre-packaged bologna. Real might not be the correct word, but the roll bologna tastes better and is probably a higher quality product than the pre-packaged bologna.
Mine goes to 11.
When I was a kid, there was an old butcher that had a small shop next to his barn. We used to go there and buy bacon, bologna, and such. That "real" bologna has the casing around the outside that you would pull off of the slice before eating. Completely different tasting than the bland, pre-sliced stuff in the grocery store. The guy was a great butcher but he couldn't bring himself to kill anything. He would pay one of the neighbors to knock the cow in the head before he would butcher it. He passed away while I was in grade school, but I can still remember the smell of that shop and how good the meat was.
Never had Underwood products, but Vienna sausage were pretty common. When I worked the renfest we all had stashes of quick to eat foods. One guy brought Vienna sausages & 4 of us had different memories & ways to eat them. Nice thing about them they were smaller then spam making them more of an individual food.
If all fried bologna from our past was Boars Head Beef no one would bitch about it!
Most everything from when we were young has been modified & cheapened! The addition of chicken & turkey to spam, bologna was what really changed the smell, taste & texture.
When I'm stuck with the pre-packaged stuff and want to fry it, I cut each slice into quarters and put them directly into the pan over medium low heat. I let them cook slowly until they're done enough to be almost crisp. Maybe the corners are black, maybe not, but it's going to be close.
Your not asking for your stuff shaved are you?
Thank you baboon. I think that made a pretty good "out of context" post
