Butcher Bologna ???

[blaise]

There are a few places ( maybe four ) in central Pennsylvania that still make butcher bologna. Is anyone out there familiar with it----trying to reproduce the flavor profile of the brand pictured. Wonderful stuff. I suspect it's an un smoked summer sausage type, but around here the old timers and farmers call every thing "summer sausage" Any info or help would be appreciated.

Where are you at in Central PA?

I'm in York. Ahrens was originally I small butcher shop in York. Kessler , a large regional meat producer out of Lemoyne bought the name and recipe years ago. Would love to find out how to reproduce it as close as I can.

I am a little north of you. Did you see we are trying to get a PA get together going?

 

[blaise]

No, I didn't see that. Would certainly be interested. Pa. has such a rich tradition of sausage and meat curing, with all the German and Polish Folk. Let me know some specifics.
