Fried Bologna
Created | Updated Aug 1, 2006
Bologna is a processed food made up of beef, pork, turkey, chicken, other meats or a combination of any or all of these types of meat parts. (Nutritional information: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl?bologna) Cold bologna by itself can be somewhat uncomfortable to eat. It generally must be “doctored” up a bit. A good cold bologna sandwich may consist of white bread, tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, pickles, alfalfa sprouts, and maybe some black olives. Really it is up to the consumer what items are placed on the sandwich and how much the taste of cold bologna needs to be hidden.
An alternate way to eat bologna it to fry it up in a skillet. Some old timers, who have lived during some financially troubled times, used to fry up some bologna and maybe add a bit of ketchup. This was a tasty meal for the family who was on a tight budget. Splurging once in awhile, they would actually put this on some bread. More recently, college students who are also on a tight budget have enjoyed the benefits of fried bologna.
Directions for making fried bologna:
Over medium heat, place about a tablespoon of butter in the skillet/frying pan. Once the butter is melted and the bottom of the skillet is coated, carefully place the bologna slice in the pan. WARNING: The stove and the frying pan are hot! Brown both sides. You may see the center of the bologna slice bubble up. Do not be alarmed. It should not explode. I think. This is based on some basic scientific principles that will not be discussed at this time. The cooking time is about 2 to 4 minutes. Using a fork and not your fingers, take out the fried bologna and place it on a plate. It will be somewhat greasy. You may want to place it on a paper towel to soak up some of the grease. Now use whatever else you want to eat with it. Bread and ketchup may be a good choice, but that is up to you. Enjoy!
