Re: Do you like hotdogs?
Soulwinner great topic,<br /><br />Growing up in Wisconsin the only way to get a real hot dog is to go to one of the small (and I mean small, like 2000 sq ft) meat companies in Northern Wisconsin. No meat product of quality can be made in a factory the size of the Mall of America. In fact most good local people can identify their hot dogs by name, (like Bessie
). Us country folk keep our lawn mowers in the yard all summer and in the freezer all winter.<br /><br />The award for the finest hot dog consumed by this humble judge of fine meat products, goes to the Whitelaw meat company, Whitelaw WI.<br /><br />These clyindrical masterpieces came in one size and stangely enough hung out both ends of any bun sold. A natural casing supported an inner meat delight that was spicy but allowed for different interpretations based on specific condiment selection.<br /><br />A hot dog without mustard is abuse. All additional selections are appropriate. I have had opportunity to savor these tube steaks with onions, ketsup, chili, peppers, pickle relish, sweet relish, and BBQ sauce(Sweet baby Rays, or Saz's). Each experience was more rewarding than the last.<br /><br />They are good for lunch (portable, just put in a thermos with boiling water), dinner, a snack, cookouts, finger foods, hell I'd eat them for breakfast if my mom didn't ration them as kids. <br /><br />Hot dog's, an American tradition, appropriate for young and old alike (stomach's allowing) traditional yet chic, simple but elegant. Damm, now I'm hungry. Better call mom!!
