I wanted a *unique* item to bring to our 2nd Annual Non-Traditional Thanksgiving camp-out and instantly thought of Pickled Bologna. I tried to order it on-line, but got all wrapped around the axle for some reason. Next, I figured I could make my own. Found the ring bologna (BoarsHead) at the grocer and a few recipes on the web. It's now been sitting in the vinegar & spices for about 10 days. Nuthin. It doesn't seem to be soaking into the bologna - rather just at the ends. And the piece I tasted does not bring back memories of the stuff from KY. I thought about peeling the skin (???) off the bologna. My friends say theirs comes with the skin on. Any ideas????? Maybe it just takes years of pickling...:(

And, as I was looking for the bologna recipe, I kept getting info on Pickled Eggs. Blech. That thought always turned my stomach but, post-after- post-after-post remarked on how good they are with beer. So, I have a container of those pickling too. Using balsamic vinegar. Nice poo brown color - making the thought of them all the more appetizing! And adding to the known effect of eggs ---- gassy.

Maybe none will be consumed anyway - but it's a conversation starter. Usually with a grimmace on the face. :p
