He will probably live to a ripe old age with that attitude.

What region is this thing from? I have never even HEARD of such a thing!

I've been fascinated by this thread all day. The only thing I know about bologna is that commercial, my bologna has a first name...
I've never eaten it, nor have I ever seen anyone buy it at the grocery store. DH has never had it either. It's like flat hotdog meat, right?

I cant believe I will actually admit to ever having bologna but here is how I ate it fried:

Fried bologna
Sweet pickles
Melted Swiss
with mayo and on white bread!!

I dont eat bologna and can't even stomach the smell of it. But when we were younger my brother loved it. He would have "fried" bologna all the time. But he did it a special way in the microwave. He would put the slice on bologna on a plate (dont cut it or anything) and place a piece of american cheese on top of it. Put it in the microwave long enough so that the bologna will curl up and the cheese would melt inside. Kinda like a bologna bowl. It stunk up the house, but he loved them. I know he still eats them so this day and I am thankful he doesn't live with me.

Midwestern maybe? I'm from MI and I know it was a running joke on Letterman (he's from IN).

I've never had one before, I've had bologna when I was 6 once it was bad, never again.

Nonetheless, that process you mentioned sure does seem like a whole lot of work. How many does that feed?

Ok, of course, I'm gonna make some people with this.... but here is what I do.

I get a 2 pound piece of bologna. I take a piece of pvc pipe, about one inch in diameter. I shove it through the bologna in 2 places, creating tube shaped holes.

Then I take" part " of the piece that was pushed out and cut it off. I plug the hole. Then I pour BBQ sauce on the hole. Then I plug the other end of the hole.

I create 2 of the BBQ stuffed holes. Then I take the hole thing out to my smoker and smoke it at 200 degrees for about 2 hours with whatever wood I choose.... usually hickory, apple, or maple.

Then, I take it inside and slice it up and fry it in a pan.

Feeds about 8 - 10 people. And it takes 5 minutes of prep work. If ya have a smoker it isn't any kind of big deal. My smoker is like an oven that burns 6 ounces of wood. I put a piece of wood in and I turn it on. Come back when it's done. Not a big deal AT ALL.

We do this about 4x a year or so, always for parties.

It is fried in Wesson oil - and it is very important to cover the bottom of the pan evenly, so you should stand in front of the stove and twist the pan back and forth, watching the oil and directing it toward the unoiled spots.

Yep! This is the only way to get it nice & crispy all around. Sigh! I see a trip to the dollar store coming up in my life, after reading this thread.

I've never had a fried bologna sandwich, how odd. I'll have to try one. I usually eat my bologna on squishy white bread with mayo and mustard and crushed Doritos. Of course, I love my peanut butter and mustard sandwiches too. Don't tell anyone I'm a culinary student.

Has to be Oscar Mayer bologna, fried in a pan (no oil) until almost black, on white bread with american cheese, spicy brown mustard and pepperoncini (with the juice squeezed out!). My dad's recipe - YUM!!

Was he in Buffalo, NY. We once visited friends (who no longer live there) and went to a baseball game. They were serving fried bologna and that was the first time I ever heard of them. Needless to say DH had to have one. He loved it and still talks about it today.
