Hot Dogs - the perfect Urban Delicacy !
You may regret it.Why? Do those carts have internet access?
Meat (pork, beef) only make up about 15% of what's in a hot dogMmmmmmmmmmaaaarrrrrggghhhhhhhh.....meat by products
If more people knew what hot dogs are actally made of, they would think twice about buying one from a street vendor.I think everyone knows exactly what's in a hot dog - in fact, the legends are so over exagerated that I'd even go so far to say that Hot Dogs aren't as bad as you think they are.
And I think everyone knows deep down inside how bad street vendors are...they just don't care. When you're too busy to stop and eat something, you don't mind grabbing a dog at one of these places.
Why aren't prisons built with revolving doors?You mean they aren't?
As Bismarck said, people should never watch how laws or sausages are made. (And hot dogs are species of sausage.)
As for what's in 'em (really): 99% of major brands have perfectly acceptable ingredients, beef, pork, spices, maybe a little textured soy or other grain or vegetable filler. Kosher beef dogs have beef and spices - and a few preservatives - period. They aren't allowed to contain anything else. (And, as one brand likes to point out, they answer to a Higher Authority than even the FDA.)
Best hot dog dialogue in a movie:
2010
John Lithgow: I miss green. Nothing's green up here.
Roy Scheider: I miss a hot dog.
John Lithgow: Houston. The Astrodome. Good hot dogs.
Scheider: You can't grow good hot dogs inside. Yankee Stadium. September. The hot dogs have been boiling since April. Now that's a hot dog.
