This curious recipe comes from the ever weird and wonderful, Cocktail Companions, published in 1954.  Why this fine cookbook is no longer in print, and gracing the NY Times Best Sellers list, I will never know.  But now…. the Bologna Pie Recipe!

• 12 slices bologna
• 1 3 oz. package cream cheese
• 1 tsp. grated onion
• 1 Tbl. mayonnaise

Mix cream cheese, grated onion and mayonnaise together. Remove casing from bologna, place one slice on a plate, spread with cream cheese mixture, add a second slice, spread this with more cream cheese mixture, etc., until six slices are used, leaving the top slice without cheese. Chill well and cut into pie-shaped wedges to be served on a toothpick. Do the same with the remaining six slices of bologna and cheese mixture. Quantity production, inexpensive.

(Hmm… what does “quantity production, inexpensive” mean?  Strange little sentence or phrase!)
