I'm On A Mission For The First Tailgate Next Year

I hope you guys NEVER read the ingredients on the back of a hot dog package. If you do, you may never eat another.

Sir, I have lived in the deepest, darkest bowels of east Asia for an extended period of time with no contact to the western world. I assure you that the ingredients of a hot dog do not phase me.

Washing dishes @ Pei Wei doesn't count.

Just making sure.

Agreed...all parts of all animals are edible.

I think it's funny that because it's got a funky Japanese name and it's expensive that people will clamor to go eat the roe sack of a sea urchin, but they cringe at a hint of organ meat in a hot dog.

Where in Asia? I have spent quite a bit of time there myself and, like you, am not deterred by eating spare parts that would make most cringe. Ever had balut or fried beetles? I think I even had a dog burger, but I could neither confirm nor deny that...I am quite sure it wasn't your typical ground beef of the bovine variety.

I was in Korea with small junkets to Japan (for visa runs) and the Philippines and Thailand for vacation. I've seen things that'll make most grown men cry. I have most definitely had dog. No balut or beetles, but grasshoppers and silk worm pupa.

What, you too high toned to eat sphincter, snout and ear?

Ketchup on a hot dog is horrible, but Flyer, chocolate milk is for the ages!

Haven't been to Korea or Thailand yet, but I have spent a fair amount of time in the Philippines, Hong Kong and Japan. The best food I found in the Philippines was lechon (think roast pig ala Hawaiian luau) although I've had far more interesting food adventures like the aforementioned beetles, balut and chicken intestines on a stick...bought from a street vendor. But, since the main subject of this thread pertains to hot dogs, I've had those in Asia too. They leave much to be desired:

Ok, ok...I'm just joking. The only pictures I could find are of mini hot dogs, but they should illustrate my point (that being how red they look compared to American hot dogs):

Oh, and good luck finding mustard. Some of the larger grocery stores have it but ketchup is the preferred hot dog condiment.

I have found the food that will bring world peace. I suggest presenting it to the state legislature to sway thing our way. Combining the two foods that no person can resist, gentlemen, I give you the hot dog pie.

Three words that magically, wonderfully go....uh...hand in hand?

ya, that was unintentionally.

Didn't say I wouldn't eat them...Although I do prefer the all beef dog, but I bet the average joe would be shocked by those things.

In much younger and more profane days, my friend's dad would take us to get hot dogs. He'd say, "Hey boys! Let go get some lips and a#$holes!"

Not to bust oldguystudent, that looks like a strawberry pie.

Fine. Here's another version, with an extra helping of vile.

Now that is freaking awesome.

Definitely just threw up in my mouth.

Bonus! You get to taste it twice!
