From 2009 to 2010, freelance food writer and chef Robin Wheeler combed through old cookbooks to try her hand at recipes that had been popular in the middle of the 20th century, but had since fallen badly out of favor.

Nothing wrong with a fried bologna sammich.
Indeed!
When we were kids Vienna sausages and potted meat were treats!!!
So true.
I think the Old Man ate a fried bologna sammich with mustard everyday of his life, unless he had grilled cheese and campbells tomater soup LOL

My sister loved fried bologna sandwiches...the more burnt the bologna...the better.
