As a college student in the mid 70s, I had a university library job shelving government documents. One booklet on frugal cooking caught my eye so I flipped through it. There I found a recipe for bologne soup; I remember my shock to this day. Yes, canned corned beef, spam, fresh caught bass, and cow tongue made it to our table when I was growing up, but not bologne soup. So, I hope I am not too hoity-toity to join in the discussion here. 😅 Welcome to DU, GAJMac!
