My mom used to make a bologna and pickle sandwhich filling. I think it must have had mayo in...?

Question

...it, but I never knew what..
the recipe was, and I remember I loved it. I am talking 45 years ago! She had an old fashioned meat grinder, which I don't have. I also don't have a food processor.

Does anyone know if this can be done with a blender? And what exactly goes into this recipe? I saw a few recipes that said it was relish, and not pickles, and that could very well be, but I don't know.

Do you think I could just cut the bologna up in small chunks and put it in the blender? I don't want a "paste", more like a sandwhich spread I guess. I just want to try it again. I haven't tasted it for a thousand years, and I think my grandson (and I) might like it.

I only want to make enough for some sandwhiches - not tons of it. Maybe with about a pound of bologna.

Answer 1

But I know what you're talking about. First of all, you know a lot of food processors have the grinder feature that you can buy as an add on. I can remember my mother using the grinder for lots of things, and that was more than 45 years ago. For instance, I don't think she could have made the delicious Turkey stuffing she made without the grinder.



The bologna sandwich spread was just ground up bologna, with sweet pickles ground up in it. I've had it with sweet relish and it tastes similar, but my mother actually ground up the sweet pickles as well. It was one of those things where you just put in what looks like enough. And then you mixed in Miracle Whip to your taste. You could put a lot or a little according to what you like.



I'll still buy a small ring of bologna a couple times a year just to make the ground bologna sandwiches.



My mother used to do the same thing with left over ham. That was delicious too!

Answer 2

I don't know about a blender but a food processor certainly would chop it just right.

Use the pulse setting.

I used to make it and so did my mom.

All my mother used was bologna, pickles, onions and Miracle Whip since no one in my family liked mayonnaise.

Some people I know have added a chopped hard boiled egg or 2 and I like that as well. It seems to counteract all that salt in the bologna and pickles.

I don't think it makes a difference if you use pickle relish or pickles. I personally prefer dill pickle relish if I use it at all.

Answer 3

I think you might very well be better off hand chopping some pickles to a fine size. The blender will most likely mush them up. A food procceser would make the chopping short work for you...but if you don't have one on hand use a good chefs knife and a good size sturdy board...chopp you pickles fine and add it to the baloney !



Now--I must ask--did you know that there are PICKLE LOAFS --already made at the Grocery Store ?



Also --If you can get your hands on some homemade pickles or buy your pickles at a pickle place---the flavor youl have will be far more than any regular jared pickle available on the shelves !

Answer 4

Ohhhh you just got a whine out of me.. I've not had that in YEARS!!!



We used to do it with ham too.



You don't need an electric appliance.. got an old fashioned box grater? The kind that you use to shred carrots or potatoes? You can use that for the chunk bologna or chunk ham... then just mix with diced pickles or pickle relish and your mayo or miracle whip....



.... salt, pepper.. diced onion... whatever your taste buds love.



I need to make me some now!! On a fresh home made oatmeal white bun!!!



droool...

Do you have a small grocery near? 1 lb. course ground all beef Bologna. He may grind it for you. Or chop fine. I use M wip. You may prefer mayo? Pickle relish.

Answer 7

and I was surprised to discover it contained no ham :) finely chopped bologna, finely chopped dill pickle, a squirt of spicy mustard and enough mayo to hold it together.

I sometimes make it for weekend lunches when I go to the market and they have the "deli ends" on sale, it is the perfect use for them and they are very inexpensive.

Enjoy!
