I'm a complete idiot when it comes to cooking, so pardon the stupid question, but is it a good idea to cook that sliced lunch meat ham you normally put in sandwiches? Like, just in a frying pan to eat on its own? Would that turn out okay?
Sure, it would be fine anon. It should have enough grease to cook without oil or anything

Fuck off.

Bologna's much better for frying, it's basically flat hot-dog.
Better still if you get thick sliced, or carve your own slices out of a full sausage.

I've cooked bologna like that before, and I've also fried a pre-cooked ham that I sliced myself in larger slices. But right now I only have thinly sliced ham for sandwiches. That was why I asked.

Well then try it and find out you wuss

You can - but I don't know what purpose (short of say, ham in a breakfast sandwich).
It's certainly not necessary if that's what you are getting at.

Same purpose as wanting to toast bread instead of eating it cold, even though you could.
Lunch meat is thin, salty, and greasy cured meat so it gets bacon-like when heated. I say go for it. Cold food has its flavor suppressed.
I usually do if I have no other meat for omelettes or sandwiches. I think it does improve the flavor of it immensely.
