This is a popular sandwich around here.

I’m guessing it has been around since we have had truck drivers.

It is a favourite with my grandchilden.

They got interested in trying it when they heard the name of it.

Not a healthy meal, but it sure is good

Variation of this Recipe from Jeanne

JANUARY 23, 2018 AT 8:32 PM

Substitute low fat cream cheese mixed with bit of 1/2 fat mayo and low fat sour cream or yogurt or hummus. I like to mix with pkg. of dry taco seasoning mix,
Spread this mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle with mix of finely chopped onions, cucumber,
red peppers and cauliflower. Press veggies down with your hand, then roll-up and wrap in plastic wrap. Next day, unwrap and slice into rounds. One pkg tortillas – 10 makes a lot – maybe 50.

I’m sure Newfoundland-born Chef comes up with 200 Bologna Recipes for cookbook

Learn to make a modern bologna sandwich from a Newfoundland-born chef’s bologna cookbook.

 The mariner sandwich features pan-fried bologna tucked into a croissant with hard-boiled egg slices, relish, pepper and mayo.  (Cole Burston / Toronto Star)

The Bologna Cookbook is dedicated to “bologna lovers the world over.”

It has already struck a nerve, placing third for the best meat cookbook category at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.

THE BOOK: Two hundred recipes starring bologna, divided into appetizers, breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Best of all, there’s a colour photo with every dish.

THE AUTHOR: Kevin Phillips grew up in Cape St. George, N.L., served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 33 years and retired as a master warrant officer. He then studied cooking and now lives in Oakville. This is his first book and it was published by Flanker Press in Newfoundland.

THE RECIPES: Everything from the whimsically named (Newfie toques, Snakes Crawl at Night), to the ordinary (bologna fingers, Newfoundland poutine) to the fancy (bologna au vin).

 

Mariner’s Bologna Sandwich

I grew up in the era of white bread and bologna sandwiches with ketchup, so it was fun to revisit the bologna sandwich with “fancier” toppings and bread.

1 tsp. softened butter

1 slice bologna, halved

1 croissant, halved horizontally (really?) Why not a some good old homemade bread?

1 tbs.  mayonnaise

2 tsp. sweet pickle relish

1 hard-boiled egg, thinly sliced

Pepper

In small skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter.

Add bologna. Cook until browned, 1-2 minutes per side.

On bottom half of croissant, place bologna.

Spread with mayo and relish.

Top with egg slice in single layer.

Season generously with pepper.

Makes 1.

I’ll bet the “Bologna Lovers” in the family have a better recipe than this one.

Whoever you are, would you please send along your “Bologna Sandwich” Recipes?

The Minister at Mount Pleasant Church (just west of Stirling in “Couchville”) always asks for “Smush Sandwiches.”  They are made with ground bologna, chopped sweet pickle, onion, salad dressing, all on good old white bread.  Sounds like a nice sandwich to me.
