I always liked the bologna with buttholes just fine.

I'd be afraid that if you remove the buttholes you would just have ham.

Anyone else try this?

I tried it 2 weeks ago as that same guy was at Rouses doing a cooking demo giving away free samples. I was immediately sold as it was VERY good and tasted nothing like Oscar Mayer traditional bologna. Thick cut, and tasted like a honey baked ham with same texture. I bought the jalapeno bologna, seared it in a skillet and had it for breakfast with grits and fried eggs. Definitely using a quality meat which is reflected in the price $11.99 ... comparably priced to sliced deli meats. Went back to buy another package on Sunday which I used to make sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits.

Local market makes homemade biscuits with their bologna- I haven't gotten to try them yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

I don’t care for honey baked ham much. Is it sweet? I was picturing a good smoked flavor.

@ GG & SR, the bologna is not sweet. More salty as the texture and “chew” reminded me of ham. The product is made using pork shoulder with great flavor. I only tried the jalapeño bologna

It kinda almost reminds me of salami in regards to texture, rather than a typical bologna.

Bologna is emulsified while salami is ground. Bologna is supposed to have the texture of a hot dog (emulsified). Salami has the texture of a smoked sausage (ground).

His bologna is made at Comeaux's. I wouldn't think they are emulsifying there, but they may be.

Traditional bologna recipes are made with mostly beef. His products seem to be made with all pork.

From what I gather, it seems to be more of a smoked sausage in a large diameter casing more than a true bologna.

Also, is it sold frozen?


Whole bologna is super easy to smoke and it freezes/defrosts very well.

Not trying to be judgmental at all, but when I think of bougie premium meats, I don’t associate that with soybean oil, MSG, dextrose or spice extractives.

I'm going to pick some of this up when I stop at Kartchner's on Saturday. I'm all for supporting the local guys if the price isn't prohibitive. Fried bologna sandwiches are a camp staple for us.

Picked some up at Rouses. Prepackaged and unfrozen but not in the case with other packaged sandwich meats, nor in the deli area. It was in the meat case by the hams, smoked hocks, etc. A one pound package had twelve thick cut slices, approximately 3-1/2” in diameter. No price on it but it was $12 and change for the package.

Fried some up and made a sandwich for breakfast this morning. Fried bologna, sharp cheddar and Mayo on toast. I thought it was very good! I enjoyed it! :)

I’ll go back to that thread and post it. It’s nothing fancy. :)

I read on Facebook that Kartchner's in Krotz Springs no longer had it. Something about space, I think.
