Who is Columbus?

The Italian meat purveyor in SF.
The web says there’s BoarsHead beef bologna though.
Maybe you can convince the Safeway guy to order you some.
Columbus does not appear to make bologna, but here’s the boars head.
The Safeway deli has Boar’s Head, but my opinion of their Mortadella was not good, so I assumed the baloney was similar.

You’re probably right.
I have not read any responses yet so I can just give you my initial reaction. Unless your expatiations are different than mine what is being sold as baloney under the Oscar Mayer brand will not be even close to what you remember no matter which you choose. I hope I’m wrong and there is a OM choice I am not familiar with. I am not even a big baloney fan, but what they make now is, unpleasant mush.

Having quickly read the thread now. My husband is a baloney fan. I was never a fan. I ate it because it was food but liked it when my grandmother fried it. I thought it looked like a sombrero. Anyway, while searching for what we both remembered, Hebrew National was the closest. But it is not what is pictured here. That looks more like what OM called Cotto Salami (I think.) A while back we could buy the Hebrew national cut to order at the deli counter of new season Deli (PDX area). Husband is ignorant of why I was asking about baloney, and I find it interesting that he said HN or Lebanese. I don’t remember the Lebanese but I’ll take his word on that. We both seem to agree that Bores had brand was better than OM texture wise but still not right and it is too bland.

Beef was the first I remember. Ate a lot of those samiches.
I remember the bologna and the jingle. taught me how to spell “bologna” correctly. Just drove past the former OM facility in Madison, WI the other day. Where they made the magic happen.
