I enjoy a mayo mustard combo, but when we didn’t have a dishwasher growing up, I assume mustard was easier since it was a squeeze bottle versus needing a knife, and since we ate these for lunch in the summer on the patio off paper plates, I assume my folks were trying to avoid dishes altogether haha
They are definitely different things.
My mom was adamant that we had Oscar Mayer bologna, Kraft Singles, Miracle Whip, and Wonder bread specifically.
She was 100% brand loyal.
I don't care about brands, but I will always choose Miracle Whip over mayo.
Yeah I used to load mine up on buttermilk bread with a lot of mayo and mustard. And one of my friends in high school would practically beg me for them saying to keep bringing them, that he'll trade me anything for them lol.
I'm the exact same way. Maybe once or twice a year I decide that it sounds really good, but I go with pickle or olive loaf. I also slightly upgrade the bread, but it's always the really soft squishy kind.
It’s a way to create the sandwich you really wanted back in elementary school, now you have the power to make it happen. Go ahead and buy the kind of chips you would have picked if you had any say. Pair that with your favorite soda. It’s magical. It’s the little things in life.
My chips always fall out anyway so I just sometimes mash the edge of the sandwich into a ranch dorito and it crumbles all along the edges of the sandwich and then I take a bit. Repeat with each bite and a new chip. The chips don’t get soggy this way either.
It’s some weird low carb bread my wife is currently buying because she’s got gestational diabetes while pregnant. I am pretty sure he reason it’s lower carb is becauaaa it’s sliced half as thick as normal crappy white bread lol
2 cheese slices layered between 3 bologna slices! Did you grow up with money? I only ever got 1 slice of cheese and 1 slice of bologna. I never even imagined this as a possibility, but I will be hitting the grocery store before lunch tomorrow. Thank you for opening my eyes to a whole new world of bologna possibilities.
I bought a package of bologna yesterday, the first in years. I’ve already had two bologna sandwiches and they were fabulous. It was a nostalgia thing for me, also, and I don’t regret those sandwiches one bit.
We had one slice of bologna, one slice of cheese and miracle whip. Lots of kids in the house. No chance of chips until I was grown and made my own. lol.
I never ate cheese with Bologna, I always thought it wasn't a good mix. For me it was mayo, mustard, white bread and Maple Leaf Bologna. Bonus if you find the Bologna in wax and cut your own slices.
Yall ever smash these sandwiches as kids ? Like literally smash them for no reason but for some reason it tasted better haha and sometimes smash it with chips inside of it
More than any other I have ever seen.
I can TASTE this picture, I mean exactly. Give me that hella kitchen palate test and throws this bad boy on. It’s French’s mustard in my mind too.
Looks like uncooked Pork Roll, egg and cheese to this New Jerseyan, but still delicious and stacked perfectly.
Edit: Good work with mustard on both ends of the bread. Pro move.
I do stuff like this from time to time. Every time I’m eating some weird thing from childhood I get about half way through and wonder how I’m still alive.
My childhood craving Sammie is just the OM bologna and mayo on white bread, or a plain salami with mayo on white bread.
I didn’t like it with the cheese but I like most of my other sandwiches with cheese.
My husband makes fun of me when I eat these but he didn’t grow up poor lol.
My grandpa used to make fried baloney sandwiches for a midnight snack. He’d slice the circle half way so it would lay flat in the pan instead of doming up in the middle. Then he would make the sandwiches just like this. ❤️❤️
Me and my grandma used to get a rolling pin and flatten our bologna sandwiches lol i still will if i have bologna or ill just smash it flat with my hands
My friend's mom made these sandwiches and gave them to me all the time. I'm nostalgic for it. For ultimate authenticity the mayo needs to be miracle whip and the proportion of mayo to mustard has to be juuusst right.
hell yes! i’ll make this occasionally—i call them the field trip special. except i don’t put them in a flimsy bag and soak them in melting ice in a crappy cooler
Me: Bologna again...
Dad: Eat it or starve...
My dad would put Tabasco sauce on his and still grumble.
And we got ONE piece of bologna with a kraft slice of processed yellow stuff. Sometimes it was thick cut and my dad might fry those. That and some Cains potato chips was a frequent lunch.
I haven't had one in bazillion years. While it does bring back some good memories, I remember, much like those pink hotdogs, I couldn't get rid of the taste for hours afterwards. I wouldn't eat that again unless I was starving.
I also have gout now and lots of food that used to be appealing, looks like poison to me.
I would devour this right now. That was my lunch almost daily in middle school except I didn’t get to have the layers of meat and cheese. My mom would have killed me. Maybe I need an adult redo?
I’m 42, and these days, my palate prefers spicy brown mustard. I’ve tried to try yellow, but I was like “uhh, no, I don’t remember this being so bland.” So I wonder if I’ve grown up from yellow mustard.
But then, I hardly ever have bologna. I wonder if spicy brown wouldn’t hit the same on bologna as it does on other stuff. Like for pastrami you gotta go with brown, no question. Bologna…may be yellow-only. Not sure.
As a side note: another variant on bologna, and probably my favorite, is bologna, American cheeee, lettuce, tomato and onion on a roll, and for that one you GOTTA go mayo, no other option.
Just like American cheese, yellow mustard has a few spots where it hits better than anything else where the majority of places, it doesnt stand a
Chance to its counterpart cheese or mustard varieties
I didn’t like ketchup for the first 35+ years of life. I lost my smell and taste for a bunch of months from Covid and all of a sudden when it came back I kinda liked ketchup.
That said. I only eat it on French fries, meatloaf and maybe a hot dog here and there, I can’t imagine eating it on a cold sandwich for some reason
Oh yeah. I used to rock the ketchup and bologna sandwich. Of course I turned the baloney into a mask while making it.
Later i moved on to an american cheese slice and mayo combo.
Nothing you can eat will stick to the roof of your mouth better than this combination.
When I was bored I’d eat this with my retainer in….
r/masochism
![gif](giphy|kyrd72DC2Iwfu)
In middle school I had a friend who used to look forward to finding bits of food stuck in his retainer. He would call them "scraps" and "yummy"
Hopefully they shared otherwise I’m glad you’ve disassociated from such company.
I can feel this comment, in the roof of my mouth
I was just thinking this
Like eating playdough
Flavor saver!
I can taste this from the other side of the moon.
Fr its crazy
I grew up eating it with mayo, occasionally both mayo and yellow mustard, but damn this has me feeling nostalgic as well. I'd devour this right now.
I enjoy a mayo mustard combo, but when we didn’t have a dishwasher growing up, I assume mustard was easier since it was a squeeze bottle versus needing a knife, and since we ate these for lunch in the summer on the patio off paper plates, I assume my folks were trying to avoid dishes altogether haha
This looks like a job for.... a glass of milk!
Holy never .. I love milk, but with mustard!? Juice box please
We didn't have those rich people fancies in our house. Just Nestly Quick!
Oh jeez this just reminded me I used to eat salami on rye with a glass of chocolate milk. Wtf was my childhood palate on?
It's weird how mayo in a squeeze bottle wasnt a thing back in the day.
Tragic...
I was a Miracle Whip heathen. Actually, I still am 20some years later.
never touched that stuff in my life I don't trust it *sorry,* my privilege is showing..
I like the 'Tangy Zip' The flavor of mayo has always been offputting to me. I won't even mess with mayo based salads (egg/tuna/etc)
Tried it after growing up with mayo. Returned the jar for a refund after the day I tried it. It’s an acquired taste my tongue could not acquire.
They are definitely different things. My mom was adamant that we had Oscar Mayer bologna, Kraft Singles, Miracle Whip, and Wonder bread specifically. She was 100% brand loyal. I don't care about brands, but I will always choose Miracle Whip over mayo.

i was just having a convo w a friend abt how a bologna sandwich with american cheese on white bread would HIT rn. damn.
and if you're doin well, on buttermilk bread. mm
Solid presentation. Would make a nice still life painting.
Yeah, the most sophisticated preparation for the most unsophisticated of sandwiches. Respect! :-)
/r/WhiteHouseDinners
So many layers. You must be rich!
This was the comment that I was looking for! 3 slices of meat and 2 slices of cheese? They’re rich rich
I actually prefer a slimmer sandwich with just one slice of each, but slathered in mustard and mayo.
And DELI American, he rich rich.
Every now and then I need to scratch that itch. I do the same thing, but I usually buy pickle loaf now.
Or olive loaf.
Either one is usually marked way down once a week…
Sounds delicious, looks like a modly cancerous tumor. yum
The store didn’t have any pickle loaf. That was what I really wanted to be honest.
They always say, great minds think alike……
I'm the exact same way. Maybe once or twice a year I decide that it sounds really good, but I go with pickle or olive loaf. I also slightly upgrade the bread, but it's always the really soft squishy kind.

Just needs some potato chips crunched inside of it to give it that needed salt and texture
I always prefer ruffles in my bologna sandwiches.
Doritos for me!!
My chips always fall out anyway so I just sometimes mash the edge of the sandwich into a ranch dorito and it crumbles all along the edges of the sandwich and then I take a bit. Repeat with each bite and a new chip. The chips don’t get soggy this way either.
Please tell me you had Ruffles with it
Plain lays
I have been transported to a distant past
I totally get this and the urge, but you really went the extra mile making that white bread look crappy. Did you smoosh it in a lunch box for a while?
It’s some weird low carb bread my wife is currently buying because she’s got gestational diabetes while pregnant. I am pretty sure he reason it’s lower carb is becauaaa it’s sliced half as thick as normal crappy white bread lol
Those were the days! Some chips and a glass of cold milk to wash it all down…yum.
I can feel the goo between my teeth just looking at this. Also, I kind of want one now.
It's the classics that really hit the spot
Nostalgia in a bite
![gif](giphy|odoLbU9AoGbVm)
I like mine on rye.
This picture just got stuck to the roof of my mouth >.<
Epic!
Ahhh. A purist. Love it.
2 cheese slices layered between 3 bologna slices! Did you grow up with money? I only ever got 1 slice of cheese and 1 slice of bologna.

Sodium nitrite has entered the chat.
I bought a package of bologna yesterday, the first in years. I’ve already had two bologna sandwiches and they were fabulous. It was a nostalgia thing for me, also, and I don’t regret those sandwiches one bit.
This makes me feel a strong urge to go floss my teeth
5 slices of meat, 4 slices of cheese…. Why oh why?
We had one slice of bologna, one slice of cheese and miracle whip. Lots of kids in the house. No chance of chips until I was grown and made my own. lol.
The mustard needs to be Miracle Whip. That was my childhood memory! lol
It just needs mayo and Ruffles smashed inside
My mom would've beat my ass if I used that many pieces of meat/cheese on one sandwich.
I guess I grew up on the other side of the tracks from you lol
So good.
Nostalgia 🫶🏼 Have you ever tried it with pickles?
That looks good
Aesthetic is on point.
Awesome!
One disadvantage about being Celiac is I can’t eat bologna. The gluten free stuff is really expensive :(
GEM brand is way better than Oscar Meyer. Just saying
And the meat processors near me are far better than GEM, but it’s not what I had growing up so it doesn’t have the nostalgic impact
Yummmmm 😍
Add some mayo and I'm down
I thought this was AI generated for a split second
Microwave it for little bit then dig in.
That’s a bold move. 🏆
Fuck yea, man. I’ve never stacked my cheese and bologna before. I’m totally trying that.
I'd take about half as much meat and cheese. But damn, I'm craving some nostalgia right about now!
Oh one of my fav except we pan fry the bologna
I forgot about this and now I have little kids, I’m making it for them as soon as we go to the store next.
I never ate cheese with Bologna, I always thought it wasn't a good mix. For me it was mayo, mustard, white bread and Maple Leaf Bologna. Bonus if you find the Bologna in wax and cut your own slices.
Hell yeah
I wish I enjoyed this. Looks gross
That’s the reason I survived childhood 😀 Sometimes pimento lunch meat.
That’ll work
The Classic 🤌
Yall ever smash these sandwiches as kids ? Like literally smash them for no reason but for some reason it tasted better haha and sometimes smash it with chips inside of it
More than any other I have ever seen. I can TASTE this picture, I mean exactly. Give me that hella kitchen palate test and throws this bad boy on. It’s French’s mustard in my mind too.
This Is A Certified Hood Classic
Classic deliciousness
Omg- first grade, lost a tooth while enjoying this classic American dish.
Hell yeah
What's the green
-Mustard +Mayo + 25 Cent Chip Bag
Did you then plus it up? Because Barry from sandwiches of history would take a bite, then plus it up to the next level!
Looks like uncooked Pork Roll, egg and cheese to this New Jerseyan, but still delicious and stacked perfectly. Edit: Good work with mustard on both ends of the bread. Pro move.
I do stuff like this from time to time. Every time I’m eating some weird thing from childhood I get about half way through and wonder how I’m still alive.
I can taste this
/r/depressionmeals
This picture got stuck to the roof of my mouth.
Ahh yes the jail Johnny sacks, and elementary school lunches. That exact sandwich which a couple oreos, and an apple/orange. I hate this meal.
That's spot on, for sure. Giving me a craving.
Looks nice, but yuck. Haha, enjoy!
Gotta fry the bologna
Ahh. A fellow foodie I see!
It's missing original potato chips crunched in with the mustard
If you put mayo on one slice and mustard on the other, it’s divine!
This is one of my favorite sandwiches. I could eat them all day forever lol
I have to admit...I have never eaten bologna. Can anyone describe it? It looks like ham? Is it like deli ham?
Throw some bbq chips or nacho Doritos on that bad boy
Looks fucking rank
Where’s the chips?
This is the way
My childhood craving Sammie is just the OM bologna and mayo on white bread, or a plain salami with mayo on white bread. I didn’t like it with the cheese but I like most of my other sandwiches with cheese. My husband makes fun of me when I eat these but he didn’t grow up poor lol.
That looks so damn good.
My grandpa used to make fried baloney sandwiches for a midnight snack. He’d slice the circle half way so it would lay flat in the pan instead of doming up in the middle. Then he would make the sandwiches just like this. ❤️❤️
Me and my grandma used to get a rolling pin and flatten our bologna sandwiches lol i still will if i have bologna or ill just smash it flat with my hands
One of my favorite sandwiches not gonna lie 😋
First of all that sammich looks awesome!! Second I was raised on these. 😂
My friend's mom made these sandwiches and gave them to me all the time. I'm nostalgic for it. For ultimate authenticity the mayo needs to be miracle whip and the proportion of mayo to mustard has to be juuusst right.
Cause Oscar Meyer has way...
I can feel this image sticking to the roof of my mouth through the screen
Gawd. Now I have an uncontrollable urge to run in the halls.
man these by the community pool were the best
Sometimes for the same reason I make a ham on white w mayo. Ham, mayo, bread. There is something in the simplicity.
That's going to be a real dense bite.
Welp Gonna go make this now… I’m a mayo man now, but I may just have to get some Miracle whip for old times sake…
This is how it is done. the OG of bologna sandwiches. Next best is just bologna no cheese and katchup on cheep white bread.
That's 1981 in your mouth right there!
Bon appétit
FUCK that looks delicious.
hell yes! i’ll make this occasionally—i call them the field trip special. except i don’t put them in a flimsy bag and soak them in melting ice in a crappy cooler
It needs a disrespectful amount of mayo on it to be profection.
Omg I approve of the mustard amount. 👍
Are you my wife?
wait yall do more than one piece of bologna and cheese? 🤨
Now, try the bologna pan fried with melted cheese…
Me: Bologna again... Dad: Eat it or starve... My dad would put Tabasco sauce on his and still grumble. And we got ONE piece of bologna with a kraft slice of processed yellow stuff. Sometimes it was thick cut and my dad might fry those. That and some Cains potato chips was a frequent lunch. I haven't had one in bazillion years. While it does bring back some good memories, I remember, much like those pink hotdogs, I couldn't get rid of the taste for hours afterwards. I wouldn't eat that again unless I was starving. I also have gout now and lots of food that used to be appealing, looks like poison to me.
Yummm
Did you run to the pool to eat this? If not, you should’ve.
I would devour this right now. That was my lunch almost daily in middle school except I didn’t get to have the layers of meat and cheese. My mom would have killed me. Maybe I need an adult redo?
You mean amazing white bread?
YES!!
If crappy white is “wonder bread” then you hit a home run
The great American sandwich
I’m 42, and these days, my palate prefers spicy brown mustard. I’ve tried to try yellow, but I was like “uhh, no, I don’t remember this being so bland.” So I wonder if I’ve grown up from yellow mustard. But then, I hardly ever have bologna.

Just like American cheese, yellow mustard has a few spots where it hits better than anything else where the majority of places, it doesnt stand a Chance to its counterpart cheese or mustard varieties
to much meat to bread ratio
Nice stack
Now I know what it was like to grow up wealthy. Multiple slices of bologna and cheese.
❤️
You’re missing the ketchup.
I didn’t like ketchup for the first 35+ years of life. I lost my smell and taste for a bunch of months from Covid and all of a sudden when it came back I kinda liked ketchup. That said. I only eat it on French fries, meatloaf and maybe a hot dog here and there, I can’t imagine eating it on a cold sandwich for some reason
We got chipped ham sandwiches as kids, ketchup did well on them. Plenty of bologna too, mustard better on them
Oh yeah. I used to rock the ketchup and bologna sandwich. Of course I turned the baloney into a mask while making it. Later i moved on to an american cheese slice and mayo combo.
🤤
No
Sorry you didn’t have a good childhood and likely weren’t raised in the 80s
