Quick Tip: Feel free to add cheese, parsley, olives, or whatever your heart desires. We’d love to hear if you have a special addition!
My mom made this whenever there was a wedding , funeral or other celebration.
Hers was made from a “ring of Bologna” which was readily available in the early forties. My job was to feed the bologna into a hand grinder alternating with pickles. Great memories, think I will make some.
Same here, Roger. Still have 3 of those hand grinders…Gram’s, Mom’s and one of my own I bought when I first got married over 50 years ago. And, those were dill pickles, although you could mix it up a bit and replace them with some sweet pickle relish, onion, or another filler you liked. Some folks added chopped eggs, but we never did. 🙂
most normal people call it ham salad
In place of pickles I use relish.
I have made this for years, we call it ham salad until one day my granddaughter was watching me make it an she said grandma you use bologne not ham an my secret was out. I also put hard boiled eggs crushed, pickles ,cheese ,miracle whip. I have a hand grinder I use for the cheese an bologne.

I use Claussen pickles, Dukes Mayo and add onion.
Where does it say anything about cheese, parsley & olives???? How much of each of these do you put in. That sounds good, too. I loved Deviled Ham Spread when I was a kid.
Yes, I would love to know this too, how much cheese, olives and dill pickles? And green or black olives? I’m assuming green olives. What type of cheese(s)? Thank you for your response.

I use little cans of Hormel Ham. Mayonnaise, mustard & relish. Love it!!
You mentioned ‘potted something’….it’s potted meat, mix it up with the same ingredients, refrigerate for a while and then use as spread or sandwich filling….for the potted meat or the deviled ham I also add celery and onion…..still as good today as when my mother or grandmother made it when we oh so young…
Sounds good, but I’d think it better if you added a couple (or more) boiled and grated eggs and just a touch of yellow mustard. That’s the way my Grandma did it back in the early forties, and I believe she added dill rather than sweet pickles. That’s the way I fix it. It’s a heck if a treat when you spread that out on some light rye bread!
My Grandmother would use half ham and half bologna but she also ground up some apple in it DELICIOUS
I use sweet pickle relish and onion. I use a whole slice of ham. About 1 1/2 lb.
I use sweet pickle relish and a little bit of onion
