Fried bologna sandwiches are "typical" of certain areas of the Midwest. 
 The bologna is not pre-sliced, or at least is thicker sliced than the 
stuff one commonly buys in the store.  It bends itself into a concave 
shape.  If one goes to Pennsic (depending on the route...!) one can get 
excellent fried bologna sandwiches on homemade rye bread at The Leaf, a 
lovely little restaurant at Milepost 151 on I-71 about half an hour 
north of Columbus, Ohio, and 1.5 hours south of Cleveland.  They have 
wonderful homebaked pies which change daily.  (Monday is always 
chocolate cream pie!)  You won't find fried bologna sandwiches in major 
chains such as Denny's but come and try The Leaf!
