(He’d probably be happier with a hot dog of his own, though. People, you owe it to your good boy to give him some hot dog! Maybe hold the mustard, though.)
“What does your heart tell you?” [sigh] (Anyone else get a vivid picture of Gandalf and Aragorn?) (And more important: would Gimli have been pro or con hot dog?)
Wasn’t there a strip from back in the day where Elvis was grossed out by hot dogs? I may be confusing it with another food that otherwise offended (salad) or confused them (cranberry space goo).
What you may ask, is a hot dog. Well I will tell you. A hot dog is made up of chicken and pork lips and @$$holes ground up and stuffed into a casing. The good hot dogs use animal intestines for the casing where the cheaper ones use a collagen casing. If there is ever a collagen shortage for hot dogs, Kim Kardashian will be there to save the world. Now my pretty little kitties, eat that hot dog.
Brilliant, Puck! This is how I am describing hot dogs from now on! No People in sight, they should certainly have known better than to leave food unattended around these cats.
I admit a fondness for dog-shaped food, and not just because I love dogs. I think it’s that, if I make a sandwich, it doesn’t seem complete without a bunch of stuff on it – lettuce, tomato, cheese, usually onion, etc., plus condiments; but with a dog, just that on a bun with minimal condiments is just fine. I regularly grill mass quantities, and freeze them to reheat later. Right now I have Angus beef, andouille, chicken caprese, several kinds of Johnsonville (the hot dog sized ones), as well as veggie dogs – mostly Simple Truth or Lightlife (I think they’re really the same), which are as good as many hot dogs and much healthier; though I usually put more toppings on them than meat ones. Veggie chili works great!
Once I was in the grocery, and when I went to the hot dog buns, there was a woman standing in front of them, staring. She turned to me and asked, “Do you see any bun-length buns? I bought some bun-length hot dogs, and am looking for bun-length buns to go with them.”
Not wanting to hurt her feelings, I (barely) managed to keep from laughing. I often wonder if she ever did figure out that ALL buns are bun-length, they just started making bun-length hot dogs because most hot dogs are shorter than the buns they sell!
I have lived in South Carolina for a year now and I still have not figured out where the state’s obsession with hot dogs comes from, but man, these folks are crazy for hot dogs! I prefer the all-beef version myself.
For those who are new and for those of us who loved Georgia’s version of the musical, Hamilton, it starts July 3rd 2019. Gasp, can’t believe it’s been 4 yrs already!
Today is Bartholomew Day! One year ago we found this long-legged, bat-eared gremlin and brought him home. He has grown into quite an excellent house panther.
Well folks, you’ve inspired me. I sent the spouse-shopper off to get vegetarian hot dogs. No, they aren’t as good, but I can eat them without content-anxiety. I like to reserve my saturated fat and cholesterol intake for ice cream and chocolate candies. I’ll be making some potato salad too.

Most hot dogs are regular, not spare meat, based. It’s the salt we have to worry about.

When I see thy chow chow
What do I see
Poetry
Poetry fake nutrition
Poetry fake nutrition
Munchin’ by my side
Her lovely commotion
Keeps my eyes open wide
Poetry fake nutrition
See her teeth finding their way
A heatwave in the oven
Could never move that way
I love every moment
And there’s nothing I would change
BCN doesn’t need improvement
It’s much too nice to rearrange
Poetry fake nutrition
An ode it seems to me
A flavour of emotion
A spicy junkfoodie
Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa
Poetry fake nutrition
All that I adore
And all I am a-wishin’
Is more and more and more
Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Ora Zed: What?

Several Moles: Me! Me! Me!
Burt-Ra: I’ve got the grill ready. Take it away, Thomios!
Thomios: Alright. Who wants a burger and who wants a hot dog?
Puckmosis: I like the idea of a hot dog. It is a concept of meat unlike any other.
Thomios: Do you want me to grill you one?
Puckmosis: Perhaps. And a cheeseburger with bacon, please.

Hot dog comes
with little that’s meat.
It sits cooking
over fryer so sizzly
for silent lunches.
Its myst’ry lives on.

Roxette: Listen to Your Heart
I know there’s something in this little piece of meat
I’ve got a notion it is a culinary poem
We all love food, and this stands for that love,
A little piece of cuisine that may or not be edible.
…….
Listen to your heart for this meat on a bun
Listen to your heart, while we’re all having fun!
…….
I don’t know what this food is and I don’t know why,
But listen to your heart
