Today is National Bologna Day

Hoooorayy?

It’s a touchy subject. Most people out there either love it or hate it. For me, it’s a part of my childhood lunch that I remember very well. The Oscar Myer song still loops in my head, but I hope I never have to re-eat that meal ever again. My bologna sandwich was the epitome of an American school lunch from the 80’s. A slice of bologna, a piece of Kraft Singles cheese, and a layer of ketchup were sandwiched between two slices of Wonder bread. While it pleased my child size appetite back then, it kind of makes me cringe now.

Maybe I am prejudiced against this meat product that’s made from a number of questionable leftover pork and beef parts. It has been over a decade since I had some bologna. Is there a more sophisticated bologna sandwich out there?

How do you feel about bologna? Do you love it as much as Weird Al? Are you “the city’s biggest bologna buyer?”
