Have you tried fried bologna?

You can make some tasty sandwiches with it.

I wonder how much fat is in it though.

How is that even a thing? How do you fry pasta?

Bologna (aka: {American} Baloney)  is basically "hot dog" meat that is sliced
as a deli sandwich cold-cut.

Fried Baloney can certainly be used as a breakfast meat.
I recall that my mother made breakfast with it along with
fried Eggs and Potatoes when she didn't have Sausage or Ham.

That makes more sense.

I tend to see it as "lasagna", which is not what people outside the US call it. And what we term Bolognese. I can see the discrepancy.

Thank you for the classification. :)

Do you like eating fried bologna?

Don't think its a regular salami in the UK. I've never seen it. Growing up in the 60s Mum often fried red Danish salami which was the only one we saw for many years.
Tried cutting down on salami/cold cuts pate etc as I'm overweight and have arteries like Sellafields overflow pipe!

You see it in the UK as poloney or sometimes mortadella, although in the US mortadella is bigger than bologna and has larger chunks of fat.

Had poloney but never fried.

Is Mortadella the same as Polony? The polony I remember growing up was sort of standard size salami (sort of chopped pork size) and didn't have the large chunks of fat it usually had a red wax outer layer. Mortadella when I see it, is about 6" across, is it even bigger in America?

Mortadella is awesome in paninis

Mom made fried bologna sandwiches when I was a kid.  I loved them.  So much better than a regular bologna sandwich.  We also had mortadella sandwiches when I was young.  Both with mustard and mayo on the super highly processed white bread. I was never one for any of that square yellow stuff wrapped in plastic that they call American Cheese. 😝

I'm not sure I could bring myself to eat one now days. 😝

In addition to the @Paulie suggestion of Mortadella or other's suggestions of Balogna
my mom made sandwiches with Olive Loaf which is basically a Balogna meat mixed
with chopped green olives and pimentos.  Sometimes a slice of "American" cheese was added.
Many times condiments like mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, pickles....  the bread back
in the day was very soft highly processed white bread, brand name Wonder Bread.
                Ahhhh... the memories.

OMG, I forgot all about Olive Loaf, that had to be my favorite!  We very rarely had Olive Loaf, not sure why.  Suppose it was more expensive than the others?  We didn't have a lot of extra money when I was a kid.  Perhaps the stores didn't carry it as often.  I remember opening my sandwich's, picking out the olives and eating them first.
            Yes. . . the memories.
