If more people knew what hot dogs are actally made of, they would think twice about buying one from a street vendor. Meat (pork, beef) only make up about 15% of what's in a hot dog. Think about that next time you're at the grill.

I think those racoons in the movie "The Great Outdoors" summed up the ingrediants of hot dogs best :D

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.

Everything breaks down to either: protein, fat, carbohydrate, or undigestible. So tell me what is in a hot dog that doesn't fit into the categories above, cuz that's what I think is in there?

As far as where that P, C, or F comes from, your body doesn't care it processes the nutrients just as if it was cavier, goose liver, or prime rib. The rest is all in your mind.

So I take it that you eat the absolute cheapest organic material that's available, Joe? To do otherwise would simply be wasteful. I mean, it's just "protein, fat or carbohydrate". :laugh:

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.

:)

Regards,

Joe
