how do you cook your hotdogs

[lesrae]

Wrapped in clay and baked, when you break off the clay it removes the spines

Edit: Complete mis-read of the topic title - I thought it said hedgehogs. I will log off and stop drinking

The hotdog is a true american food only if grilled or microwaved. We grill 'em for the fact that all Americans enjoy grilling and microwave 'em because we're too lazy to really cook them.

Are these the same as saussages?
Or are they just the tings that come in tins?

I threw one in a deep frier once. The outside got crispy and the inside just tasted like a regular old hot dog. You will try anything after to many drinks. Skybird is right, the hot dog is the left overs mushed in skin. Now, if you really want something nasty, try scrapple. Just a the name says it all.....SCRAPple. The stuff found on the meathouse floors all bundled up and mushed into a paddy. Oh, just yummy

Ahhh!
Those things are foul! They don't even remotely resemble bits of animals anymore.

If I can't make it in the kitchen, I don't buy it.
Sauces for me! Fried with some olive oil.
Preferably venison or pork and apple.

Only 100% beef for me, boiling them in beer might not be so bad:hmm:

Who can forget the classic racoon quote from The Great Outdoors with Dan Akroyd and John Candy.

I hope you mean polish sausage or something. I don't eat hot dogs in the classic sense.

Some interesting hot dog info:

What are hot dogs made of?

Not dogs!
Are hot dogs really made from pigs' snouts and unused meat scraps? Contrary to popular belief, hot dogs are not made from left-over meat laying around on the floors of meat-packing houses. Whether it is pork or beef that is stuffed into a hot dog, the meat trimmings are carefully selected just like the meat you buy in your grocer's coolers.

Most recipes for hot dogs combine together a tasty blend of favorite meats (pork, beef, chicken, or turkey), meat fat, a cereal filler which could be either bread crumbs, flour, or oatmeal, a little bit of egg white, and a mouth-watering array of herbs and seasonings including garlic, pepper, ground mustard, nutmeg, salt, and onion.


Once these ingredients are grinded together, the stuffing is squeezed into sausage casings. Many of the hot dogs sold in stores are enclosed in synthetic cellulose casings, but most home-made hot dogs are made out of natural animal intestines.
Following the stuffing process is the pre-cooking cycle in which the hot dog links are tossed into boiling water for approximately 15 minutes. Finally, the dogs are packaged, loaded on delivery trucks, and sent off to food markets.


Hot dogs are popular among Americans because they are easy to make, inexpensive, and delicious. Hot dogs can be prepared in a number of great ways--nuke-em, grill-em, sauté-em, roast-em, fry-em or boil-em.


What is your favorite type of hot dog? - a chili dog, a cheese dog, or a foot-long dog? A multitude of toppings can enhance the flavor of your hot dog. Common toppings used on hot dogs include ketchup, mustard, onions, relish, chili, cheese, and sauerkraut.


Hot dog lingo. Hot dogs are also called franks, frankfurter, weiner, mini sausages, ball parks, and dachshund.


Did you know?

July is National Hot Dog Month
An average American eats 60 hot dogs a year
In 1893, hot dogs became the standard cuisine for baseball games.
Controversial debate surrounds the creation of the hot dog. Who really created the first hot dog? Although the city of Frankfurt, Germany credits itself for the origin of the first frankfurter in 1852, some argue that Johann Georghehner, a butcher from Coburg, Germany created the first frankfurter in the 1600s.

That doesn't bother me to much.
When Im prepareing my own rabbit I try to eat all that can be eaten as long as it
doesn't take to much time to prepare and clean.

That said, Im not sure I would want to eat all those bits if I wasn't confident about the
standerds of preperation.
