Title: Hotdogs
Post by: Sara on August 01, 2006, 08:20:25 PM
What brands do you use?

What do you put on yours?


I will only eat Hebrew National.  I find gristle and other nasty bits in every other brand.
I put mustard and cheese on my weenies.   ;D

Myself I usually avoid hot dogs.

Too much sodium, potassium to be worth it to me.

Though before I was on those restrictions I would eat just about any hot dog, well except turkey hot dogs. :-X

I usually stick to in store brand hotdogs.

And I like them with ketchup and mustard usually but sometimes a little chili and cheese is good to.

I will not pay 2.99 for hot dogs, so whatever is cheap and tasty I buy.  I love hot dogs with mustard, ketchup, relish, throw some chili on there and cheese and you have a snack!

All major grocery stores carry them. They LITERALLY are world famous.

All I need is mustard and jalapenos.

Mmmmmm, hot dogs,,, slap some ketchup, mustard, relish, onions and jalapenos on there and watch out.... but what i dont get is how the hell do these ballparks get away with selling you a  $4.50 damn hot dog when for that price you can get a whole pack of wienies, buns, ketchup, chips and feed a family of 4 with it,,, what a rip off

Just before I go to dialysis (during school time), I go to the cafeteria and order a hotdog with EVERYTHING (that even includes mayo!) except pepper.
Don't even know what brand it is.  most likely chicken -they are the ones most consumed here.

First I grill my hod dogs then I toast the bun on the grill put some cheese on it 10 seconds on the grill again, ketchup and mustard and I'm good!

If you put them in a large pot of cold water and bring to a full rolling boil it will remove a lot of the salt, potassium (and fat).  After they're drained you can cook as usual.  I find there is very little change in the taste.

Good idea!  How long do you boil them?

Interesting.  But if that's so, then can't you just boil them until they are cooked?  I mean, that is how I cook them when I am home alone.

LOL, yes, you can, but my husband likes them fried or grilled so they have that crunchy, crispy outside.

Ahh, okay.  That makes a lot of sense.

I used to boil them when I had to worry about the salt. I knew about that trick for years now (since I was 9 I had to do that) :P

We have some Nathan's Famous over here on the left coast too.  If you ever come out you won't have to go hungry.

All of this is making me hungry.  I just ran down to the barber shop and after grabbed a footlong at Circle K.
