Hi Emily! I did get the pingback on my Ground Bologna Sandwich Spread post when you linked to it here. I’d never had it with pimentos as one of the ingredients, does your version have a different name? Here in Michigan we use primarily German bologna, which has a different flavor profile than the Pennsylvania Dutch bolognas. But really, it’s all good, I’ve enjoyed quite a few different variations over the years. Thanks for the mention!

Hi Dave! Thank you SO much for writing, and for letting us share your great recipe! We’ve only ever called it ‘Sandwich Spread’ in our house, and have always used Pennsylvania Dutch bologna. I think that the pimentos were added when my grandmother somewhere along the way to give it a little extra kick. It’s always a fun recipe to bring out!
Thanks again,
Emily
