Hot dogs are bloody nice!

How do you like yours? Home made? Or from the people who sell them on Londons various bridges? Are they a treat for special occasions only like WHEE FIZZ fireworks/bonfire night/other celebrations involving FIRE?

Onions? Mustard?

In my area: Portillo's (not the absolute best, but 'convenient locations')

Lips and assholes, thats what hotdogs are.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:37 (twenty-three years ago)

I didn't use to like onions on them, but now I think I do! They're all lovely and caramelised by the time you get 'em. I tend to think of hotdogs as treats.

Mmmm. I shall certainly have one on Friday when I get paid!! Tonight I shall have a sossidge buttie.

Home-made frankfurters in a can always run the gamult of being too watery.

Taking sides: sossidges vs frankfurters vs WURST!

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:37 (twenty-three years ago)

I think there is a definite UK/US split in the way we treat hotdoggz.

OH MAN! I've just remembered the McDonalds hotdog! That didn't last for long...

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

I tried these and loved them, but haven't had them since. I've been too scared to try veggie dogs though. I guess cuz I never really liked hotdogs.

But, that's good, right? More for you?

That was supposed to be a pic of Morning Star Farms corndogs, BTW...

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh I meant home made hotdogs when the frankfurters come in a can of icky gumph. YOU KNEW THAT Jess, you're a clever little boy innit?

dude i must have a hotdog. i think i'm gonna have to steal one from the am/pm

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:44 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't meat anymore. But man, did I use to love hot dogs. The tofu dogs are actually pretty close (which makes sense, since there aren't many natural products in real hot dogs), but there's something slightly wrong - the density maybe? Yeah, but onions are classik, espeically raw onions, and some spicy mustard, relish, and ketchup, and now my mouth is watering.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I love morningstar veggie corndogs. Veggie dogs (AKA 'not dogs') are usually too bland & soft for me, but someone (probably morningstar again) makes a really good veggie brat, complete with little bits of veggie gristle! Seriously, it's all about the texture. I like to pile sauerkraut on these.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Is Sarah talking about vienna sausages? This "can" thing is confusing. Big-ass hot dogs at home are totally nums, just make sure you FRY or grill them (NOT BOILED!!) at high temp so they are literally blackened on the outside, it's the only way.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:48 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't meat anymore.

I guess Dan Perry hasn't seen this thread yet...

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh please, Sarah, like Dan would stoop to such an obvious joke! What do you take him for? Please try to be less condescending.

Say, where is Dan?

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:55 (twenty-three years ago)

I was never all that into hotdogs, and then when I stopped eating meat I never was really interested in not-dogs. But the toppings, oh, the toppings can be fantastic, and I keep trying to come with new ways to work sauerkraut into my diet.

― gygax!, Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmm frankfurter sossidge in a hotdog or a real actual sossidge. But wouldn't that make it a sossidge sandwich on er, alternatively shaped bread?

Apparently the Chicago dawg is a foot-long in a really soft bun with CHILI,relish, mustard, ketchup and a few other things. My dad used to take us on pilgrimages to a place in South Minneapolis that advertised the Chicago dog 'experience'.

― better than a hot dog (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 18:19 (twenty-three years ago)

funny, it LOOKS like Gray's Papaya King....

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 18:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Chicago dog is not necessarily a foot-long.
I think the definition varies from place to place, but generally is a hot dog w/a whole bunch of shit on top (not chili, that would be a chili-dog)

― Oops (Oops), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 18:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Chicago Dog— Beef dog with two slices of tomato underneath, chopped onions, pickle spear, mustard, neon green relish and celery salt.

Very tasty

Strangely, I’ve never had one at Portillo’s as I love their Italian Beef sandwich dipped with hot vegetables.

Very tasty

― No One (SiggyBaby), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 18:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I lived on them in Czechoslovakia. Never really fancied one since. But I'd love a sossidge butty.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 19:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Back in the distant days of my first go at uni, i.e. Cambridge in 1978, I had a huge proper-sausage style hot dog for lunch every day. I've hardly had any since, other than one revisit to that same place (I was going to a wedding in the town) a few years ago.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 21:00 (twenty-three years ago)

what is a non-sausage-style hot dog??

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 21:17 (twenty-three years ago)

a FRANKFURTER, obv!!!

Gray's Papaya?! I was taken there when I was in NYC! Except I thought it was "Grace Papaya"! Oh those crazy Yanks wot with their pronounciation an' all!

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 February 2003 12:08 (twenty-three years ago)

What's a corndog then? And should Wimpy Benders be banned for being really crap?

― alix (alix), Thursday, 13 February 2003 12:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Corn Dog: hotdog on a stick, dipped in cornmeal batter and deep-fried. You hold the stick to eat it, hence great portable Minnesota State Fair snack item. You eat it with ketchup and mustard, dipping the top of the dog into same each time you take a bite.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 13 February 2003 12:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Good grief! Really? Like a hotdog but with dip and no bread? I've never heard of those before! I thought it was just a vegetarian hotdog! Cor! You learn something new every day.

Our New Years Day wouldn't have been the same without a Bender, Lixi. They are bloody mingy though. HOWEVER, they support the noble cause of the curly sossidge. Have I mentioned that I've found it quite upsetting recently how nowhere seems to serve a curly cumberland sossidge any more these days?

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 February 2003 12:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I have never had a hotdog without vomiting straight afterwards.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 12:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Sarah, there are several really good delis and butchers by my flat that do the curly sossidge: try Gazzano's next to Betsey Trotwood or the butcher on Theobald's Road.

Otherwise go to Smithfield.

The batter on corn dogs comes out bready, not like fried fish does at all so you do get carbohydrates, but you still hold a corn dog by its little wooden stick.

Walk into Ann's Dari-Creme in Glen Burnie, Maryland, in front of the Marley Station Mall.

Wait until you get near the counter.

Large blonde woman finally yells at you: "HELP YOU, HON?"

You must answer quickly, without hesitation or extraneous formality. "Double dog with everything and a banana shake." If there is someone with you, say "Cheeseburger sub with everything, double dog with everything, and two banana shakes." There are other things on the menu, but they are there to weed out the tourists -- ESPECIALLY the french fries. The blonde woman, who has written nothing down, will bark your food order at the person working the grill and eventually get your milkshake, but only after serving the other seventeen people from whom she has taken orders. She will not smile. She will not get a single order wrong. There is at least one other blonde woman working the counter in exactly this manner.

After a few minutes, your blonde woman will yell "DOUBLE DOG WITH EVERYTHING AND A BANANA SHAKE" at you, looking you dead in the eye and handing you your good. Take them and leave the restaurant immediately. There are stools at the counter, but they too are only for the tourists. Go to your car.

If you are with another person, exchange half of your double dog for half of your partner's cheeseburger sub (they have already been cut in two). Smell the gorgeous smell of the food, sip the world's greatest banana shake, and bite into two foot-long hot dogs, boiled then grilled, served with onions, mustard, pickles, and the World's Greatest Chili (which recipe is a closely-held family secret). You will know what heaven is like.

You will have indigestion for the rest of the night, which you will enjoy as each belch brings back the glory of your meal. Your car will smell of Doubledog with Everything for up to two days afterwards, and this will make you happy.

Bulimia perhaps?*

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 13 February 2003 13:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I had a Hot Dog once from Trafalgar Square at 4am. It was late and I was hungry and booze had addled my brain. It was truly, truly disgusting.

Now everytime I smell one I get flashbacks and feel nauseous. I think this is a good thing. If only I could get something to do that for fags.

― Dave B (daveb), Thursday, 13 February 2003 13:58 (twenty-three years ago)

It's selective purging. Sweets stay put.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 13:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh all right Sarah, I was thinking SHAPE. Words simply do not do justice.... in the ol US of A if it is a SOSSIDGE i.e. spicy and gray-brown it is not a hot dog, a hot dog is a frankfurter.

My roommate's gran purports to have invented a hamburger recipe that she wanted to market and mass-produce, little chunks of hot dog mixed in with ground beef and formed into patties -- the FRANKENBURGER!!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 13 February 2003 16:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Now Colin is making me both incredibly hungry and incredibly jealous. BASTARD.

Colin's post was ace.

Chicago Dog— Beef dog with two slices of tomato underneath, chopped onions, pickle spear, mustard, neon green relish and celery salt.

Mmmmmm. There is a new h.d. joint near my house called Huey's, it is actually quite good and pretty cheap. So if anyone is in Andersonville....

I shed a tear for those who've never known the joys of a corn-dog

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 13 February 2003 16:19 (twenty-three years ago)

corn dogs = only good at county fairs, after having left how-to-skin-a-rabbit tent

― Amateurist (amateurist), Thursday, 13 February 2003 16:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't be jealous, Ned -- I'M IN FREAKING GERMANY AND HAVEN'T HAD AN ANN'S DOUBLE DOG SINCE SEPTEMBER 2001!!!

No, tasty lips and assholes

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 13 February 2003 17:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Tivall vege sossidges are best, but the supposedly TiVall Tesco ones aren't.

I used to love the barbecued hot dogs they'd serve at village fetes. Never with onions though. No way.

― Graham (graham), Thursday, 13 February 2003 17:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, you're right, Chris, a rump roast is a lot more appealing than something made of lips and assholes.
