Seltzer’s Smokehouse Meats

Whether or not you like ordinary bologna is irrelevant; Seltzer’s bologna is in a class by itself. Wood-smoked in ancient smokehouses over hand-tended fires, each firm-fleshed meat log is powerfully aromatic and vividly spiced … and totally unlike the kind of bologna you buy in the refrigerator case of most supermarkets.

Four varieties are available: regular lean beef bologna, sweet bologna, low-salt bologna, and honey-smoke bologna. A cool slice on a cracker is a grand hors d’oeuvre. A few slices warmed and put into a hard roll with a hunk of semi-melted Gouda cheese makes a superb warm sandwich. Chop it up and toss it with scrambled eggs in a skillet and you have a dazzling breakfast.

As evidence that bologna isn’t just for sandwiches any more, here is a terrific pasta recipe from Seltzer’s web-site.

In addition to bologna, Seltzer’s also sells wood-smoked ham and bacon, Pennsylvania scrapple, beef jerky, and smoked turkey.
