FRIED BOLOGNA / A SNACK AT MUDDY'S
As recalled by Scott A. Cameron
I would regularly visit Muddy's kitchen in Westmont. This is where we held all our meetings about his business, around his kitchen table. Usually it was just Muddy and I, but many times "Bo" (Andrew Bolden) was there too.
I was over there one morning and he said we were going to have a snack, which turned out to be fried bologna. I had never had fried sliced bologna before.
Muddy would put his big cast iron frying pan on a fairly low heat and put slices of the bologna in the pan, slowly frying each side until brown. I never saw Muddy use any brand other than Oscar Mayer.
Once fried to his liking, he would cut each of the bologna slices in 4 pieces. The way we ate them was one piece on one Ritz cracker, sprinkled to taste with Tabasco sauce. Easy to prepare tasty mid-morning or anytime snack.
