What's REALLY in hot dogs?

[SaltyNuts]

Is there really pig anuses and stuff in there? I bet there is not. I bet that is bull, just like the McDonald's chicken nuggets as being made from "pink slime" was shown to be complete BS. I certainly hope so, as I love me a good hot dog!

Thanks.

A proper hot dog is made of the following: (anything else is a false, imposter, counterfeit hot dog)
Beef Frankfurter on a poppy seed bun.
The following mandatory toppings: onion, sweet relish, dill pickle spear, tomato (wedges or slices), pickled sport peppers, celery salt

Sometimes children are foolish and they think they want ketchup. Ketchup is only to be used with the fries, NEVER with the dog! You will get kicked out of restaurants for trying to put ketchup on your dog. In some places they may even beat you up in the back alley for being such a monster.

Uh, McDonald's nuggets were made with pink slime.
Don't worry, yes, your hot dogs are made through a disgusting process, but most of the food you eat also has various grossness attached to it. So you can either stop eating or get over it (my vote is for option number one).

Eat some Mentos and wash it down with some soda. You'll forget all about those hot dogs for a while.*

*This Mentos challenge brought to you by the makers of Mentats and Blamco Mac 'n Cheese.

Yes I know nothing will happen.

Tasty goodness.

If you enjoy sausages of any kind, I recommend you don't look too closely on how they're made. They taste good, and I assume you haven't gotten sick. Everything else is details you don't need to know.

The ingredients and processing of hotdogs and other sausages is far better than that of chicken in the US.

All meat? surprise. All beef? surprise. Kosher? surprise. There are no guarantees in this world. You can only hedge your bet by buying something more expensive. With some salt, and some hot sauce I was able to make anything taste halfway decent in my broke youth. Also, I did not buy Boones farm, and MD 20/20 cuz I'm a connesuier of fine wine. I actually have a recipe book for Spam.

"The ingredients and processing of hotdogs and other sausages is far better than that of chicken in the US."

Huh? If I get a chicken breast on the bone from KFC, isn't it real chicken? Maybe you are talking about nuggests, but I'm pretty sure the "pink slime" thing was dispelled.

 

[John Connor]

Not sure, but I just buy the Hebrew Internationals. Buy products that say no fillers?

 

[SaltyNuts]

Well, even if it says "no fillers" Connor, does that necessarily mean it won't have pig anuses? Maybe the pig anuses are lumped in with other parts of the pig and considered meat, not a filler, no?

What's so special about Hebrew I's? Guaranteed pig anus free? Or you just like the taste?

Thanks.

 

[IronWing]

Guaranteed pig anus free?
Thanks.

Yes. They use cow anuses instead.


* For the folks at the Hebrew National legal dept, a mere jest in the spirit of the thread.

Rules for buying meat:
1) Buy Halal when available. When the only available punishment for adulterating food is death, it keeps folks honest.
2) Next, buy kosher, It gets double certified so twice as safe.
3) You're on your own with pig so just buy what smells okay.

I'm talking about chicken shit, salmonella, bleach and, just plain unhealthy animals. The US has some of the worst poultry on the planet due to our raising and processing methods.

That is some good eating. I love a scrapple sandwich with hot sauce.

Everyone knows this...except the OP, apparently.

They're kosher, i.e none of that crap. And according to my mom who worked at a gourmet food distributor, they bless the hot dogs too. LOL I'm not Jewish, but their hot dog is pretty good.

What do you mean "dispelled"? As in "McDonald's stopped using it in 2003"?

 

[Thebobo]

Do they ever use the Balls and shaft?
