Sandwich Spread

We used to make this in the middle of the previous century, with leftover ham! It was called “ham-aise”. Same idea– meat grinder, ham, dill pickle spears ground after the ham to help clear it out, and mayonnaise. What a memory, thanks for this!

My mom made this sandwich spread when I was growing up. She used canned spam and ground it up added onions dill pickle relish and miracle whip. Made great sandwiches and I still make them today. TRY IT WITH SPAM !!!!!!!

This is very good. My mom made this as well as what she called ham and pepper. Grind one pound of bologna and 1 green bell pepper and mix with mayo. Delicious!!

Growing up These were called Grinder Sandwiches or Monkey meat Sandwiches. Loved them as kids and going to get the stuff to make again soon..

This made a really tasty sandwich!

It tasted great! The picture looks like it also has cheese in it. Is there? I know it can always be added.

.y mother made this back in the 1950 s loved it then and love it now

I like it with sweet pickle relish, as my mother made it when I was a child.

In my house we grind onion in with the bologna. We also use 1/2 mayonnaise and 1/2 miracle whip along with sweet pickle relish. We always use white bread. To make it “fancy” we cut it in triangles. I love this stuff!

Just as I remember it as a kid , simple and good .

I have my Grandmother’s meat grinder and I only use it for a recipe of sandwich spread. I use ring bologna. I also use baby sweet pickles and not the relish. I also add a jar of pimento for color. Always was, and will be, a favorite!!!!!

This brings back memories. Very good.

Love it as is. My grandma used to make this.

This is a really quick and good spread. There is a PA Dutch version, only its made with Sweet Lebanon Bologna and some other ingredients. I love how PA people are creative with cooking. It must be built into most of us 🙂

Made this just a few months ago, using the old fashioned grinder that I bought at an estate sale. My Mom’s recipe. The same as above but you add a boiled egg and some American cheese to the grinded ingredients. Instead of pickle relish, you grind sweet pickles into the mix. It was always served with spaghetti soup (cooked spaghetti, butter, milk, salt and pepper). I am sure that it was a “Depression era meal” but I love it so.

try it with bell pepper so good.

Party Meat! Thanks for the recipe. I had this recipe a while back but lost it. There seemed to be a debate amongst my coworkers on which was better…dill pickle relish or sweet pickle relish. Miracle Whip or Real Mayonnaise. Bologna or ham. I guess it’s just a matter of taste. Heard the traditional birthday party ‘party meat sandwich’ was served on Pullman Loaf with the crusts cut off. In little triangles, of course!

Sounds like my mother’s recipe. I’m 64 yrs old and remember her grinding the balogna in the counter mounted hand crank grinder. It was great. (She also used to tell me that those little things in tapioca pudding were fish eyes). I’ll try your recipe tomorrow.

Fine dining indeed. I remember Mom making this for us kids back in the 60s and we’d have friends over during the summer for lunch and she’d give us a big bowl of it with a loaf of bread and Kool Aid and send us all out to the patio and we were in Kid Heaven. Thanks for the good memory and hence that’s why I gave it 5 “stars”.!

What an awesome recipe to find on here! I remember making this with my Great Grandma when I was younger. She would get out the heavy hand cranked meat grinder, and let me put the ingredients through. Sometimes we would add hard boiled eggs, onions, or cheese as well. Always finished by running a few saltines through the grinder. We always called it “Monkey Meat”. Not sure where the name came from…but that’s what it is to me! lol

I gave this a 3 because it needed a little more flavor. I added dill pickle instead of relish ,also added onion and a couple of hard boiled eggs. I put everything through the meat grinder, made a great sandwich. This is more like the one I had when I was growimg up.
