She said, you need your protein.
Well I traded my baloney for a PB&J at lunch. My first venture into business.
Growing up, my mom made me so many “choke and slides” to have for school lunch, I’ve never wanted either one since. Lol!
Baloney however......isn’t worth consuming unless fried....anyone who hasn’t tried that is missing one of the greatest unhealthy treats of all time. 😁
Bologna and cheese on white bread was my summer diet, as I was a latch-key kid growing up. Coins under the sofa cushions offered an occasional pack of Yodels Cakes during a bike venture.
Fond memories of PB&Js dipped into hot chocolate on a deer stand and in the duck blind.
Serious Eats is a very good cooking site, but consider their racism before taking them too “seriously”:

We have people here who went to school even before they had air conditioning, yet none died from home packed lunches that had everything in them from bologna to chicken legs, I assume tuna sandwiches and all kinds of stuff that sat in a paper bag for 4 or 5 hours with zero concern of keeping cool.
So true…
Peanut butter, bacon and pickles. Don’t knock it....
PB&J with slices of banana on it. Now we’re talkin!
I don’t hate PB&J.
But I much prefer EITHER:
Butter with Peanut Butter, OR:
Butter with Jelly/Preserves
And never ate baloney.
Our go to lunch meat was the chipped/razor thin sliced beef from Budding. That was a staple all through my youth and into adulthood.
I have half a PBJ every night with a glass of milk. Can’t beat it.
My favorite PBJ tradition:
Spread PB on white bread, microwave for 10-15 seconds, spread cold strawberry jam on top and enjoy hot/cold, saltyish/sweet all in one bite.
As a side note, peanut butter and honey is also a great taste.
If it wasn’t for PB&J and baloney I would have starved to death as a kid. Oh, and butter and sugar sandwiches too.
Capitolist!
The ingredients are the same: peanuts, palm oil, salt.
I cannot taste the difference between the sugar free version and the traditional recipe.
I prefer Jif over Skippy. I think the difference is Jif roasts the peanuts more.
For jelly, I also go with a brand that does not add sugar. Polander All Fruit or something sweetened with natural fruit juices.
Use multigrain bread and Abracadabra! you have a healthy sandwich.
My baloney had a first name.
Also he insisted his last name should be pronounced “bologna.”
