I grew up poor and fried bologna sandwiches were a staple for lunch, dinner, or a snack. I'll never look down on a food that got me through hard times.

I’m 61 and been eating bologna all my life. Tried many different brands, including Boar’s Head, but nothing beats Oscar Mayer. Fried bologna, egg, & cheese sandwich for breakfast, and bologna & cheese sandwich, a bag of pork rinds, and an RC cola for lunch. Livin’ large! Great video, thanks! 👍

As the son of an Alaskan fisherman, I am very grateful for the processed miracle that is bologna. Fish can get boring day after day.

I immigrated from Germany as a child. The first time I had lunch at a friends house, they served a Baloney sandwich. I thought it tasted off, maybe even spoiled. When I returned home and told my mother about it, she laughed and said, "You're use to German Baloney and you had American Baloney." The quality and taste is quite different. I've served German Baloney to friends that HATE baloney and they love what I serve them. Oscar must have changed his recipe during the depression.

Suggestion: The history of movie theater concessions food and snacks. Some movie theaters these days offer beer and wine to enjoy while watching things blow up on screen. Another suggestion: The history of shopping mall food courts. I worked at two food courts in St. Louis, MO way back in the 1980's.

We used to call fried baloney sandwiched 'pac-man sandwiches', and there was nothing better for an after school snack, ever.

I’m 64 and I’ve ate baloney since childhood. I still love it and about always have some in the fridge.

I DON’T want to know!!!! Somethings need to remain a mystery!

Literally LOLed when he said "I've always wanted to punch that kid!" 🤣

Love these videos! If could leave a suggestion, I think the history of the sub-sandwich would be great! It has so many names and variations; the po'boy, grinder, subway-sandwich, etc... But always comes down to the basics: Loaf of bread, veggies, cold-cuts, and condiments (or vinegar). Plus there's the fascinating history and rivalry between Quiznos' "toasted subs" and Subways' imitation, but with better marketing.

Hooray! for the turkey and the wolf, I live right down the street from it on Jackson Ave in New Orleans, go there all the time. Love them!!!
-
Bologna sandwich with lettuce and yellow mustard. Ah, childhood.

Fried bologna and eggs served over toast. Yum!
-
Revealing you had a baloney sandwich during school lunch was the best way to reveal you were poor af.

Balogna was something my dad liked, so it was pretty common to have some at home, but for me it was always a "I'll eat it if there's nothing else" option.

I love fried bologna sandwiches! I still eat them from time to time, but you should do the history of frank n beans/pork n beans. Ate that alot as a kid
