National Bologna Day was October 24th. The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word bologna is of course the Oscar Meyer song. "My bologna has a first name..."
This summer I was one of a handful of adults who went to visit the O.M. wienermobile parked in front of HyVee Grocery store. The young woman who is lucky enough to be on the road with the wienermobile took my picture AND taped me singing the song (complete with gestures).
I shared the video with some friends and posted a picture on Facebook. I didn't intentionally send it to my boss at the non-profit agency for which I work part-time. However, a few weeks ago I sent several pictures and accidentally included the wiener video. Oops! Fortunately, my boss overlooked the error. Either that or she and the other managers had a good chuckle.
My husband I visited North Carolina a few years ago and fried bologna sandwiches were on the menu at most of the places we ate (if we had "dined" I doubt it would have been on the menu) Mmmmm....smelled good. It was served on white bread with a side of white grits. I took a few bites and then asked for some mustard to kill the taste and choke the rest of it down.
So I encourage you to go out today and try and order a fried bologna sandwich and then let me know what happens!
I feel bad for my dearly departed Dad. With six kids in the house he'd go buy lunch meat to brown bag it, then he'd go to make his lunch and it'd be gone. I admit I was one of the culprits. Nothin' better than a bologna sandwich with a big slice of homegrown tomater, with a slather of Miracle Whip....Oh la la!
