The bologna sandwich is common in the United States and Canada. Also known as a baloney sandwich, it is traditionally made from sliced bologna sausage between slices of white bread, along with various condiments, such as mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup.

The bologna sandwich is a regional specialty in the East, Midwest, Appalachia, and South. It is a sandwich served at lunch counters of small, family-run markets that surround the Great Smoky Mountains, and fried bologna sandwiches can be found on restaurant menus in many places in the South.^[1]^[2] The fried version is likewise sometimes sold at concession stands in stadiums, like those of the Cincinnati Reds.^[3] In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, it is called "jumbo".^[4] In Knoxville, Tennessee, the sandwich is referred to in local slang as a "Lonsdale ham" sandwich, after the less-affluent neighborhood of Lonsdale in Knoxville.^[5] In Oklahoma, barbecue bologna is often smoked for sandwiches.^[6]

Many variations exist, including frying the meat first and adding various garnishes such as cheese slices, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and onions.
