Just planted the beans today before the rain hits again tomorrow, also got most of the squash seeds in as well. Spinach and beets are in, so now all I have left are pumpkins and they go in the compost bin, but I have to get the chickweed out first with the eco-friendly weed killer since the bee’s are busy.

GWG8541 interesting post and I enjoyed the history, thx! I’ve never heard of trail bologna, can you describe what it looks and tastes like?

Really enjoyed your story on your Amish country visits in Ohio. My wife and I used to take a trip with another couple once a year to Iowa’s Amish area when we lived in Nebraska. You are right about the food. I think I gained 5 lbs every visit.

Dave in AZ smoked balogna is the best description I can come up with. It has a great taste. They do some with cheese and a spicy mix with peppers in it. All of them are pretty tasty.

Ted Frodyma there are many Amish communities throughout Ohio, but the largest community of Amish and Mennonite are around Holmes County. Every time I go there my wallet gets lighter and my waste gets bigger. Ohio used to boast the largest Amish community in the US, but Pennsylvania has pulled ahead in the last decade. Horse and buggies along with bicycles are a common sight on all roads and highways in the area. They are a hard working people for sure.

GWG8541 I grew up in Ohio eating Troyes Trail Baloney and would love to be able to make my own as I only get back to Ohio once a year. If anyone has a good recipe for trail baloney that tastes like Troyes please share it with our group.

akdave we may have to figure that out. Great flavor and a nice smoke to it, especially the ring balogna.

GWG8541 I have made 2 attempts so far with name brand trail bologna mix and neither was even close to Troyers. I can make great snack sticks and summer sausage but still lacking on a great trail bologna.

GWG8541 Good to be back, just starting to dig out… It was your thoughts ref Trail Bologna that brought good memories back of my travels thru Ohio and PA. Especially thru the Amish areas… And I’ve had the privilege of visiting that shop 4-5 decades ago. Infact just made 20lbs of the ring Bologna 4 months ago “1-1/2in” chubs. Vac’d, Souse Vide, quick chilled, and froze still in the vac bags… Worked out great. Didn’t smoke, took the blasphemes way out with liquid smoke… Cheers
