Once you get over the repulsive meat-mystery aspect, hot dogs actually go hard in the summer. Makes me patriotic. Only Americans could popularize such a masterpiece.
"makes me patriotic" haha. Exactly how I feel about German Currywurst. Got back into it a year ago and now I love getting one whenever my day leads me to a currywurst-stand. Feels like a super authentic German (Berlin) experience + just like a hot dog, it's not too big so you can just give in to it no matter if you're hungry or not lol
nothing speaks to me like quite like the american hot dog. meat of indeterminate origin nestled in a soft bun so pumped full of chemicals it won’t start to mould until you notice it still packaged in the back of your cupboard two months later. when i was a child i was in awe of the hot dog vendor peddling his wares from street corners. in new zealand we have something called a sausage sizzle, which is NOT the same. these often take place outside of a hardware store, cost a gold coin, and are typically a fundraiser. did i care about charity as a child? no! i cared about the fact that this was a different kind of sausage wrapped in a slice of white bread and drizzled with tomato sauce. i thought this was an absolute disgrace, and a mockery to the profession of hot dog making. i wanted a frankfurter in a bun, slathered with ketchup and mustard, paid for with a crumpled up $1 bill. long live the american hot dog. though i’m a vegetarian now so it’s not quite the same.
If you’re reading this, then you statistically are not eating enough fiber every day. We all must strive to eat more veggies and whole grains. This is what I made for dinner tonight.
