Whats bologna?

 

An American cold cut made from things like cow nostrils, pig ears and chicken lips. Throw in some fat for taste. Very good in a sandwich and usually accompanied by cheese & mustard.

It's sometimes spelled baloney.

 

Basically, it's a cheap lunch meat for kids when you want to stretch your dollars, but a lot of people eat it just cause it tastes good. A lot like hot dogs only much wider and sliced to order by weight.

Nope. Not really. Spam has a different taste compared to bologna.

 

I prefer bologna toasted or just nuked since the ones sold at the supermarket are pre-cooked already. Place two or three in a small baguette, add feta cheese, extra virgin olive oil, black olives, diced pickles, black pepper, sliced mushrooms, a bit of brown mustard - nice sandwich. :)

Like spam?

 

Definitely not. We gave that stuff to the Brits to improve the quality of their diet during WW2 as a sort of inside joke - but don't tell the Limeys!

 

They probably still eat that stuff. Losers....

I was going to question your sanity but reread that combination a few times and now I feel cheated that I've never had it.... :(

Quite like spam; we have a processed meat similar to it ("mesni narezak") that I had funny converting - with ketchup - into...well, I can call it spaghetti Bolognaise, but...still, something to do with all that tined spam-u-like.

 

Quite like spam and baked beans (beaked beans is unheard of back home. Beans are for stews...)

 

If its spherical (as I understand it) and you fry it, try cutting out a triangle (needle point at centre, base at edge), stops it curling. Sounds like something you might grill, though. Would like to give it a try, will (hope to) do at some-point.

You'd better duck, laddie! I LIKE spam! Fried, in samiches or nuked with a can of pork 'n beans. Doesn't matter. That an' bully beef will keep you alive for years... :D :P

..."sigh" bully beef?

 

Goddamn right... if it was good enough for our fathers to live on in WW2, it's good enough for us! BTW, you wouldn't BELIEVE how many good-tasting recipes you can come up with, simply using wine, brandy, Calvados and root vegetables that can be dug up out of the fields in Normandy... wash it down with SRD rum in tea and you're good to go for eons. I know this... BTDT.

 

So there... :P

My mother was a big fan (WWII war bride) and sold it hard to her sons. She finally gave up when we wouldn't eat it. :lol:

No, what IS bully beef?

Canned corned beef.

 

I picked that up at a convenience store in lieu of bacon for a fattening breakfast, and I gotta say it went done well with the eggs and home fries and those flat corn bread things that Thomas' makes. I seem to recall wallowing on the couch watching The Food Network in ignorant bliss.

Well, that would seem about par for the course for you, eh? :D

 

MAXX: There are two major brands available right now, HEREFORD and FRAY-BENTOS. The latter company, based in Uruguay, has been making and marketing the stuff since 1899, but has since been taken over by international conglomerates. Their product is the same, though. I've seen pics of Fray-Bentos cans of corned beef taken way back in WW1 and WW2. It was a staple, but the troops made do with whatever they could scrounge to go with it. Kinda like today... even back in the eighties, I knew some true magicians when it came to making rations edible over time. I'm actually pretty good at making a decent meal out of it, myself... :)

Potato Chorizo tacos from Blanco Cafe, a heart attack made in heaven. Although we also had Barbacoa/pork tamale tacos for breakfast the other day. Man o man, add some good Tobasco Green, and Picante sauce and you are in gastronomic bliss.....

Lately, we've been eating the cheaper version of Spam - Prem (I think). The can even looks like Spam. It's more rubbery though, and doesn't taste quite right (too salty).

 

Sometimes, I get a Chinese luncheon meat made by Great Wall. Cooked right, I love the taste. Overcook it, or eat too much of it, you start shitting hot water. :D

Could this be Britains biggest breakfast? Linky (BBC)

8 eggs, 12 rashers of bacon, 12 sausages, potatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, black pudding, beans and 12 slices of bread. Called the "kids", because it weights as much as a small child

Posted

Spam sliced paper-thin and fried up in a frying pan, along with hash brown potatoes and eggs. Makes for a great fishing trip breakfast, as the crisp fried spam tastes alot like bacon.

Posted

3 over easy eggs, American fries which are a certain type of round slice potato, buttermilk biscuits, sawmill sausage gravy, home made applesauce, grits, chicken fried steak, and a big pitcher of pulpy fresh squeezed orange juice to wash it all down.

Huevos Rancheros: Green chili ladled over 3 eggs that lay on a flour tortilla. Then covered in grated cheese and melted in the broiler.
