I love Hot Dogs

My wife and I eat hot dogs at least five times a month. We usually buy a pack of 48 from Sams Club for around $9.00.
 
Kirkland Beef Hot Dogs for me. I could gorge myself endlessly on those things. Of course, I'd gain back all the weight I've lost since August if I did.
 
but didn;t you guys see the movie with john candy?.... where they were staying in a log cabin and the raccoons were digging in the garbage cans?... ...that was all i needed to know about what hot dogs are made of... 😵‍💫..

just kidding.... i love hotdogs...😋 ... plain with nothing but mustard on them..... ...but when we have them at home we usually buy johnsonsville cheese infused brats and eat those on hot dog buns.. with a pot of chili cooked up for anyone who wants it.... .. takes hot doggery to a new level.... 🌭

Nathan's for me, with some good sauce, onions, mustard, and if I want something different relish and cheddar cheese.

My older brother liked to take vacations in the upper peninsula of Michigan and told me that he was at a place that was kind of swanky, which ain't his thing, and he wandered off into a conference room where there was something festive going on. Turns out, this upper crust place, was having some sort of hot dog convention with all the different brands, LOL!

At times we eat Hebrew National...expensive, but great dogs! Then there's the Ball Park all beef franks! We love those as well....but, usually anything Ball Park will do. Don't really like the cheaper brands as they usually have excess gelatin in them and they taste sort of slimy!

Chicago Dogs with Vienna Beef are the absolute best but the Costco Dogs are really good. For $1.50 with a drink, you cannot beat it!
 
My favorite hot dog is from Bill’s in Washington, NC (colloquially referred to as “little Washington”). They serve “red” hot dogs and have been doing so since 1928. If you’re ever in the “low country,” make a point of stopping by this spot. You won’t be disappointed. Here’s a little history of the joint: https://www.ourstate.com/bills-hot-dogs-in-washington/
 
Filipinos slice up red hot dogs and put it in their sugary sweet spaghetti sauce!🤢🤮

I think I'd rather eat one of these:

I'm still convinced the name "balut" came from the gagging sounds drunk sailors made when tricked into eating that stuff.

There are a pair of Filipino ladies who live in town (they attended our church for a time). Every year they have a food booth at the Nez Perce County Fair. I got a combo plate from them with meat and pancit. They told me to put Sriracha and lemon juice on it. I did and the flavors that came from that dish... oh my... I never expected the Sriracha and lemon to combine like that! 🤤

i;m in full agreement with you.... .i generally like foods from a variety of different cultures .. but that is one type of food - and one partiucular dish... (if you can call it that)... i won;t go near.... . ...there are grocery stores here that actually sell balut... and in that part of the store there is always a very nasty smell that my dad said reminds him of when they made blood bait for catching catfish in texas..... ....it had me wondering if that is how eating balut came about.... somebody had no luck fishing and got so hungry he was forced to eat the bait?... 🤮.. and that reminded me of the scene in apocalypse now where col kurtz dies..... "the horror... the horror....." ... .. and if that;s hard to imagine just take a look at that decomposing baby bird in the egg shell.... it;s all in there... ☠️

I had a balut ONCE and that is probably the only time I will ever have one!

We were coming back into my wife's Barangay and saw a vendor of these "Delicacies" and I don't know what got into me. Perhaps it was the Red Horse (beer) I had recently finished? Anyway I look at my wife and say "Babe, I LOVE YOU and I'm going to show you just how much!" and I purchase a balut from the vendor. The way you are supposed to do it is you crack the top and suck out the juice. It was freshly cooked so it tasted pretty much like chicken broth and I though "not too bad." I then got it out of the shell and took a bite. Still didn't seem that bad and it was also dark so that probably helped. I then started thinking about what I was doing and then the gag reflex started kicking in but I got over it. Looked at the wife and said "I told you I love you now GIVE ME A KISS!!!" For some reason she wouldn't kiss me until we got home and I brushed my teeth really good! It also helped that I had another Red Horse to wash it down afterwards! :LOL:

I'm convinced balut exists only as some sort of practical joke Filipino families play on white boyfriends. (No, I'm not speaking from experience.)

That's funny! I sometimes think the same thing. Probably laughing in the other room "Can't believe we got that 'cano to eat that crap!" :ROFLMAO:

Actually, I had made a statement a few months prior on Facebook about "Egg Abortions" that she took offense to saying I insulted her "Filipino Culture" so this was the back story to my "Proving my love" by eating a balut!
