The sweet version is strange but good. I prefer the regular version. Goes well with LongHorn cheese

>>20205266
someone on /ck/ once said calling deli meat/sandwich meat 'lunch meat' was a massive red flag for white trash subhuman monkeys. i agreed with them at the time, because everyone i know that calls it that is a factory worker.

>>20205302
I am OP and I am a factory worker, LMAO
I used to be a computer programmer but I hated it so I quit and decided to start over. I like the people I work with a lot more now.

>>20205339
I know that feeling
I used to be a network administrator and would usually have to work after hours because if I was there in the mornings people would take up all my time with pointless stuff and I wouldn't have time for the important stuff
I'd leave the server room door open because it was hot AF in there and every night me and the janitor would look at each other and I know we were thinking the exact same thing

It’s weird how it looks like salami instead of bologna

>>20205302
call them cold cuts then

>>20205266
Spam is better

>>20205266
You know I had to do it to em

>>20206056
I think technically it's not bolonga because it's made with beef instead of pork.

>>20206092

>>20205266
I’d love to try the sweet. I’ve never seen it in the stores

>>20205266
Do y'all call it le-BAN-un or Leh-Buh-non?

>>20206216
>Leh-Buh-non
this one

Ground bologna is foundation of sandwich spread, God’s gift to the world!

I don't see wood smoke on the ingredient list, automatically disqualified for lying via marketing terms. Protip: "wood-smoked" is a meaningless marketing term. If actual wood was used, it would specify the wood type because it affects flavor.

Actual smoked ham molds are the best thing for lunch meat. Orange wood smoked ham is the best, followed closely by peach wood.

>>20206323
if you actually smoke a meat, that doesn't go in the ingredients list, per FDA regs.

>>20206216
the dutchies and Amish call it LEB-nun

>>20206329
yeah, some syllabus get dropped when you say it quick

>>20206323

white bread, mayo, mustard, american cheese, and lebanon bologona sandwiches were my childhood ;___;

Lebanon bolonga comes from Lebanon County in Pennsylvania, not from the country Lebanon

>>20205266
>the best lunch meat in the world. I challenge you to name one better
Actual bologna

>>20206420
when you say something like this it honestly makes you wonder whether you have ever had either

>>20206416

>>20206430
yeah, I think they named it after the bologna

>>20205266
Just moved here. It's okay I guess, and better than what I knew as bologna before. But it still doesn't hold a light to a good salami. I'd never heard of ring bologna before I moved here either. You guys have a real bologna culture.

as-salaam wa'alaykum warahmatullah akhi. may Allah bless you. WIth kind regards, your friend, anon

>>20205266
Hi anon, I grew up in an ethnicity where we didn't eat much of this. I recently tried some salami and some prosciutto at a friend's house and liked it. i'm trying to get more into it now but don't really know my way around. resources appreciated

Bologna, Italy is named after their most famous cold cut

It’s not pronounced baloney. It’s pronounced boloña.

>>20206556
My grandad was originally from Italy and he trained to be mortadella slicer for one of Italy’s biggest meat packers but he got replaced by this other guy who was supposedly a better slicer. My grandad really missed out because this was in the late 90’s which was just before mortadella became really popular worldwide. Did you know mortadella was banned in the U.S. up until the year 2000?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2000/02/16/its-no-baloney-real-italian-mortadellas-back/

>>20206622
I guess your grandad just couldn’t cut it

>>20205266
Lebanon is good but the sweet version they sell is gross.
This here is my favorite, but all together the best lunch sandwich is a turkey reuben

>>20206559
In east PA it is ba-low-knee.

>he got replaced by this other guy who was supposedly a better slicer. My grandad really missed out because this was in the late 90’s which was just before mortadella became really popular
So basically your grandfather was the Pete Best of mortadella

I like BH liverwurst with smoked gouda, they compliment each other's shape, a little kewpie mayo and freeze dried dill. Low cal and satiating and you get gains from liver. Good with cheddar, fontina, or dill harvarti too.

Oh no. Anyway.....

"The box... You opened it, we came!"

>>20207248
why do you need to remove the casing

>>20207248
What does that cost, like $40?

How come all this shit is so expensive? meat sticks are like more $$$ per pound than fresh beef a lot of the time.

>>20207253
To make it an even fight....

Not all casings are edible. Remember in my youth having to skin the bologna before making a sandwich.

For me it's pastrami.

>>20206215
>I’d love to try the sweet
I prefer the sweet, has more character and a touch of spice, thanks to that tiny bit of sugar. It isn't noticeably sweet at all in my opinion, possibly more smoky.

I take my lunch to work daily, and often don't feel like shopping on a Sunday night when you've been out of town, and there is a nice feeling knowning you can revert to the garage fridge for that shingle pack that has no expiration date.

>>20206329
fascinating

>>20207253
It would be extremely painful

>>20206082
Based. And you even posted the one with pistachios in it, so extremely based. Mortadella is delicious

>>20207248
neat

>>20207436
I like the sort with olives in it. I think it's more a spanish variety

>>20207214
She must really be into Lebanon Bologna to have their logo be her tat. I shall make her my bride.

For me it’s Baum’s

>>20207254
learn how to make your own and it's cheap

For me it’s double smoked sweet

"New bologna phone. Who dis?"

For me it’s Bombergers

>>20206622
>My grandad ……trained to be mortadella slicer
My dad is a Lebanon bologna slicer. It’s a good profession and isn’t that hard but you got to know somebody to get your foot in the door

>>20209433
Hook me up, would you? I'd like to handle people's bologna professionally but its practically impossible without connections. They just take one look at me and tell me to leave.

>>20209433
>isn’t that hard
Actually slicing mortadella requires a lot of training. You have to be highly skilled and have steady hands. You also have to be able to cut the huge chubs. It’s not as easy as it may appear

Thick cut fried bologna sandwich -- well charred -- on sourdough. God tier.

This is my go to t-shirt when I try to pick up hot chicks. My success rate would surprise you.

For me, it's taylor ham

>>20205266
Seriously, you PA anons have got to go to the farmers market and get some fresh-made stuff. Pre-packaged Seltzers/Hippys/Berks is shit. I don't mean the originals, I mean the vacuum-wrapped shit that's absolutely swimming in extra preservatives and packaged to be shipped around the country. Night-and-day difference.
