No no, I love the trendy version of baloney - MORTADELLA - ok, so it has little pistachios in it and Mario Batali is travelling around New York with a big tube of it on his scooter, it's still baloney!

Funny - my mom craved fried baloney sandwiches when she was preggers with my brother. When my bro and sis were little, they called baloney "bonky" - so she always served fried "bonky" sandwiches.

Yuck - no more for me - I watched the "Unwrapped" episode where they made baloney. Blech.

Any meat by Boar's Head is wonderful! They do make a great pastrami and corn beef. Hard to find, but so worth it when I do!

I like Boar Head's low-salt roast beef.

Boar's head makes some good stuff. I once bought their hotdogs and didn't care for them at all. Give me Hebrew National, Sabrett, or Vienna Beef any day over the Boar's Head.

After working in delis for many years, Boar's Head is mostly hype, yes they have good products, but there are lots of other companies putting out high quality stuff at better prices. Did you know that in order for a store to sell Boar's Head products, they have to have a certain amount of control over the business, meaning that you cannot carry another premium brand, only very low end stuff along side the Boar's Head. So those who shop in a grocery store that carries Boar's Head, only have a choice of Boar's Head or something of much lower quality, meaning the Boar's Head looks far superior.

Our Boar's Head guys were like the Mafia, they were New York Italians, with names like Vinny, Tony, etc...

That's our weenie of choice too. Our local Pig has them a lot on a BOGO.

I have found that the Hillshire Deli Select roast beef is just as good as Boar Heads and it's a heck of a lot cheaper.

Not a fan of Nathan's at all...they are too skinny so you eat more bun than hot dog.

Our favorite is Zenner. It's a PNW brand and has that snap when you bite into them.

I like them skinny so you can get more toppings on. The snap kind creep me out.
