I'm from Allentown Pa and remember the lebanon baloney. I didn't
care for it alone, but rather mixed with regular baloney or some other
cold cut. But it was ok. One PA staple that I did not like and had
forced on me as a youth in an orphanage was scrapple. Now there's
some stuff I just never could get the hang of. But I suppose if
you're hungry enough we'll eat just about anything. I was thinking
about this the other day. I've heard that worm meat is a good source
of protein. I would try it. I don't mean like a plate of worms; I'm
talking more about the worms ground up and made into patties. How bad
can they be, really? Now, as for PA, there is a Lebanon Pa only 39
miles or so from Allentown, on the way to Harrisburg. I also felt
that's where the lebanon baloney comes from. But there is a Lebanon
Heights or Lebanon Hills or something else with Lebanon in it outside
of Pittsburgh. I know that when I was a kid the stuff was easy to
find, not that I did much shopping as a kid. I can't remember the
brand my grandparents always had in the fridge with other stuff. I
didn't care. I'd come home from swimming and put some lebanon baloney
along with regular baloney into a whole pita along with some cheese
and mayo and scarf it down like an animal after a kill.
