Random Thoughts X: Impromptu Interpretations

[Synobun]

I read an article about the Costco hot dog and now I really want to try one. All-beef, steamed, made in-house, and no additives? It kind of sounds like the perfect hot dog.

Now I want to try one too.

Right? So many hot dogs, especially from the grocery, are loaded with additives or they have extra pork or chicken bits. Even the all-beef premium kind from brands like Maple Leaf are kinda eh, and tiny.

Bigger ones from restaurants can be okay, but sometimes just as stomach-turning.

Costco's sounds like it eliminates all those problems.

It seems every restaurant in my area that made good hot dogs stopped making them.

You've reminded me of that Discworld book in which the stand-ins for English/Londoners are told, in their visit to the local stand-in for Germany, that what passes for sausages in their home city might just qualify as cheese in their current locale.

Cheesy hot dogs????

Nah. The butler actually states that in fiction!Germany sausages are required to include meat among their ingredients.

Cheese-filled sausages are pretty common. I could never get into them. The shells for the sausages are really tough for me to swallow, and de-shelling each one is simply too much of a pain. And makes you look weird.

ETA: Casing? Shell? Inedible wrapper that everyone else can eat just fine? Idk. You know what I'm talking about.

I dunno, I get sausages here that just require boiling and then you peel the casing off.

Why did people here make fun of me for peeling it off then

I had some once and they burned my mouth.

Cheesy hot dogs????

Spoiler hot dog with grated cheese on top :

Why must it be ruined with olives?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Ewwww olives

 

[W|M]

usually you pick and choose what to put on those hot dogs, so olives (along with ketchup, mustard, grated cheese, quail eggs, tomato/onion sauce, mayo, corn, peas and very thin crisps, among other ingredients) are optional

Sounds as overburdened as a Chicago dog. Just found out about those tonight. I have no idea how someone can eat a hot dog with so much on it. Although I'm morbidly obese curious.

I read about Chicago hot dogs before. It sounded more like a salad that had a weiner in it.

I heard from a Chicagoan that their hot dog stands are so principled about it that you can't even request to have certain ingredients omitted. You have to get the whole thing or not at all. Sounds stupid to me. Not sure how much truth there is to it either.

It's a wiener, i.e. from Wien (pronounced ‘veen’, i.e. Vienna). A weiner would come from ‘Wein’ i.e. wine. *giggle*
