I can remember as if it were yesterday sitting on the countertop at my Grandma’s house watching as she used a meat grinder (which attached to the countertop with a clamp – as old school as it gets!) and made ground bologna sandwiches. My mouth would be watering and I could hardly wait until it was between 2 pieces of bread and in my mouth! Apparently I’m going through a flashback phase as I’ve been recreating recipes from my youth to share with my kids this past week. I swapped out the ring bologna for a healthy turkey bologna and instead of sweet pickles (that contain sugar) I used regular dill pickles. I can honestly say after the first bit it was like I was back at my Grandma’s watching her grind the bologna. Ah, sweet, yummy memories!
