A bologna sandwich or a baloney sandwich is a sandwich – common in the United States and Canada – made from bologna sausage between slices of bread, along with various condiments, such as mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup.
The bologna sandwich is a regional specialty in the Eastern, Midwestern, Appalachian, and Southern United States. It is a sandwich served at lunch counters of small, family-run markets that surround the Great Smoky Mountains, and fried bologna sandwiches can be found on restaurant menus in many places in the South.Insiders' Guide to the Great Smoky Mountains, 5th edition, p.100, By Dick McHugh, Mitch Moore, Katy Koontz, , The fried version is likewise sometimes sold at concession stands in stadiums, like those of the Cincinnati Reds."Ballpark's signature sandwich: Fried bologna", Cincinnati.com (online version of the Cincinnati Enquirer), March 30, 2008.
