fried bologna
If there is anything better than sitting in your yard with your 3 year old daughter on a balmy spring day eating fried bologna sandwiches, man I don't want to know

Be sure to savor the moment. Remember it for when she brings home a boyfriend you'd rather take a thousand stabs in the ass and nads than to see her date.
BTW it does sound like a very sweet and lovely thing...why is it a rant?

Fried bologna IS a classic. I can remember so many spring/early summer days at my grandparents house when my cousins and I would come in from playing, all the windows in the house open with a cool breeze blowing through, Transformers in hand and comic books spread out on the table in front of us, while our grandmother would fix us tomato soup and fried bologna sandwiches (miracle whip and cheese on mine, thanks).
Man... those memories and the feelings associated with them are just about as close to perfect as I can imagine anything being. I may well cry.
Savor the moment, because eventually she won't want to eat it because she's on a diet.
Ahh, memories... I haven't had a fried bologna sandwich since I was a kid, when my mom would make them all the time. The best memory I have of food though, is being at my grandma's house and having her make me a BLT. Oh man, her BLT's were the best. Her lettuce and bacon were always crisper and the tomatoes always juicier. I miss those days terribly... she's still alive but I live 8 hours away from her now.

I grew up in Ohio as well and had this. I'm thinking a lot of people who had this had families from rural of poor inner city backgrounds where bologna was cheap meat. My family is from southern Ohio and Georgia on my padres side. He ate a lot of farm raised chicken, the occasional pig (had to wait for those suckers to get big enough for slaughter), and rarely beef.
Mind you theres all sorts of things I grew up eating that people here in CA won't touch: Pickled Eggs (the purple beet juice ones), pig knuckles and feet, venison, ect.

I have never heard of fried Balonga in my life. Balonga comes up maybe once a year.... I guess it never caught on here, good thing.

Hell, I probably still take a Bologna and Cheese Sandwich to work, at least a good 1/3 of the time I bring my lunch. We kind of alternate what kind of lunch meat we buy.
