Yes. I do not use condiments on any food, I want to taste the meat.

I suspect that UK hot dogs are a million miles away from US hot dogs.
What we get here, in the hot dog sausage is a mush of pink, homogenous mechanically recovered meat, often chicken, pork or calves lungs.
Are you saying that US hotdogs actually include flesh, meat?

my take on a chili dog is a 7-11 dog with just lots of onions cut up into little pieces and put into a large Popeyes red beans and rice

this side dish by Popeyes is one of my fast food faves - it's very similar to chili - they make it with pork - of course real chili doesn't have rice and is made with beef but who cares

7-11s all beef large dog is imo excellent - I can't believe I'm praising 7-11 food but that's the only thing there I respect

oh wait, I forgot - I am very impressed with 7-11 coffee - they made big changes a couple of years ago and upgraded it

Well, we're allowed to use artificial colorings, so our hotdogs are probably artificially pink. Not sure what exactly you good folks put in your Pink Cure #1.

Otherwise, yeah... a mechanically pureed blend of chicken, with just enough pork and beef included so that they may be legally listed in the ingredients.

More premium varieties can be all pork, pork & beef, all beef, natural casing... and come with those prestigious extra numerals in the price.

Honestly, if you take a cheap hot dog, wrap it in bacon, broil it until it's done, then dress the bun with brown mustard, it's hard to go wrong. Pickle slices or some sauerkraut add contrast, but are unnecessary.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Back in NJ we ate a lot of pork roll, aka Taylor ham.

Glad to find it out west, albeit in limited quantities.

For lack of a better description pork roll is sort of like a spicy baloney.

Good as a substitute for bacon when eating eggs, or as the star in a sandwich (top the pork roll in the sandwich with some catsup).

Just fry it right up.

That pork roll looks lovely. If I see it when I'm heading east, I'll make room in the icebox. For whatever reason, I find the regional foods seem to taste better if I bring them back from a regular purveyor, rather than have an out of region specialty store "import" it.

As far as bacon alternatives, summer sausage slices are quite nice. Fried bologna is nice, too.

Lebanon bologna lost something in the frying to go on the egg sandwich. I found I prefered it unfried.

I keep telling the wife that I can pick up a full brick of scrapple (5 pounder) on one of my trips. She is intrigued, but not yet ready for that level of commitment.

I have never tried Taylor Porkroll although i have wanted to for about 10 years. I haven't been to the northeast for a few years but hopefully this year. My local airport in Florida is now flying direct to New Haven for $39. I hope to take advantage of that.

There many different types of hotdogs. I grew up eating Nathan's, which we grill, and Sabretts, which are boiled, most in dirty water. Both are all beef.
Different regions eat various types which may be why no national fast food has done hotdogs, although Sonic is trying.
Around here, we have Sonorian hot dogs that have a veritable salad on top.
I prefer all beef, hopefully kosher dogs with a splash of brown mustard. They used to be a regular part of my diet but now they are a very occasional treat. I had one at a Labor Day party and may not have more until Memorial Day.

I grew up on Oscar Mayer or similar style generic hot dogs and never liked them as they had no flavor, As I have said many times I don't use any condiments on food so if the meat itself doesn't have flavor I am not going to like it. As an adult I am now buying exclusively Nathan's and do like them as they actually have flavor. Very important when you are eating it plain on a bun with nothing else.

My favorite Nathan's are the Bigger than the Bun ones, which are the originals and have a slightly different composition. They aren't so easy to find outside the East Coast. I boil mine in water with a slice of butter added to the water. Then grill them on a preheated pan until they just start to blister and eat them on a slightly grilled bun, with either brown Guldens mustard or plain.

Does anyone else drink much iced tea? Since I have been in Florida I have started drinking almost exclusively iced tea. Probably 95% of my fluid consumption is iced tea. I have found a pre-made iced tea by the brand of Milo's which I think is perfect. It is sold at Walmart in gallon jugs for around $3. If you like iced tea I would encourage you to try it and let me know if you think it is as good as I do.

I know Whole Foods sells it so Amazon probably does. I get mine at Walmart Neighborhood Market. I believe it is made in Arkansas, that is probably why Walmart carries it.

Airing out a precooked tri-tip for lunch, alongside a salad. These steaks come cooked and seasoned, so you just sear them in a frying pan for ninety seconds on each side.
They are almost the same price as a regular tri-tip but much more convenient.

I drink one or two 18oz bottles of Pure Leaf tea per day. Black or green, unsweetened

You have to be careful with iced teas since many have more sugar than Coke. And the artificial sweeteners aren’t necessarily better than sugar, possibly worse for you
It’s all about making that GTA

Well then sir this just might be your lucky day.

As a former ex-Philadelphia area ex-pat I sometimes jones for some Philly food.

Fortunately I found a place in metro Portland that makes good Philadelphia style cheese steaks (even using Amaroso bread, flown in) and another that makes a good NYC pizza.

But yeah, not all of you are so blessed; what to do?

Satisfy your yearing by ordering online; I've twice ordered their genuine Pliladelphia strret vendor style soft pretzels: damned tasty.

All this talk about hotdogs I went out and got the ingredients and cooked them up real quick, we got one all the way hot dog with cheese as well as homemade hamburger, my special seasoning, chili mix (no beans) over a great big quarter pound Las Vegas brand hot dog. I boiled them and then I grill them real quick. It also has some onions under there and a little bit of mustard. The other one you can see what it has. Onions, mustard, jalapeños, thin sliced Roma tomatoes and cheese.

Italian bakery rolls, buttered and toasted.

Yum Yum!

My 86 year old father wanted to cook last night so he invited everybody over.

The dinner was sous vide chicken paprikash. That may be the first sous vide meat that I have had. It was incredibly tender and juicy.

Sausage and Eggs.

Thick cut of white onion, butter on top to melt over the sides as it cooks.
Eggs added, black pepper, seasoning added.
Crushed hot red pepper flakes added.
Let it cook.
Break up. Add anything else you desire, roasted peppers, mushrooms, etc.

Sides of potatoes and toasted bagel with cream cheese.





Or you can use a wide spatula and flip it at the time of the below picture and have your eggs over easy or medium.

As I've said, I do almost all my shopping via the internet but occasionally will stop by the only supermarket in some thirty miles. Monday afternoon, I stopped in an many of the shelves were very low on stock. Not a lot of choices in the pasta aisle, and there weren't the usual choices in the bread one.
I forgot something and swung back yesterday. Everything seemed very normal. I guess it depends when they get their deliveries.
I have a lot of cabinet/closet space, so I picked up 24 rolls of both toilet paper and paper towels as a reserve a few months ago.
My only problem is what to do with the Styrofoam coolers I get once or twice a month.

it's kinna funny to me how there are very few foods that a person would want to eat every day

bread is one, and rice is one for many - and I guess eggs for many, although not for me

I like Busch original beans, but there's absolutely no way I could eat them every day

there is virtually nothing I could eat every day, assuming I have a choice, other than bread and rice

Oh yeah, it sue us.

“ A Coney dog is a beef frankfurter in natural casing, nestled in a soft, steamed bun. Its topping of an all meat, beanless chili, diced white onions, and yellow mustard distinguishes it from the ordinary hot dog.”

And as well so does a regular chili dog. (Probably biggest differences are the beanless and the steamed buns in the coney)

“ A chili dog is a hot dog served in a bun and topped with a meat sauce, such as chili con carne. Additional toppings may include cheese, onions, and mustard. The style has multiple regional variations in the United States, many calling for specific and unique sauce ingredients, types of hot dogs, or types of buns and referred to regionally under region-specific names.”

It still amazes me that you won't find a so-called Coney Island hot dog within miles of Coney Island, where the original Nathans still thrives.
I was thrilled when I learned Sonic had Coney Island hotdogs until I tried one.

it's kinna funny to me how there are very few foods that a person would want to eat every day

bread is one, and rice is one for many - and I guess eggs for many, although not for me

I like Busch original beans, but there's absolutely no way I could eat them every day

there is virtually nothing I could eat every day, assuming I have a choice, other than bread and rice

Bananas. I have one banana every morning for breakfast.
Peanut butter - PBJ for some folks, or I eat just plain peanut butter sandwich, peanut butter on apple slices, on celery
Grapes. Great snack.
Potatos? Baked or fried or chips or hash browns?
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Here try this on your coney dogs. It is pretty darn good.

Applewood smoked bacon mustard.

The larger supermarkets should have it.

I don't have a name for this but it's becoming a mainstay of my diet.
I cube an eggplant and air fry them.
Pre-heat the oven with a cast-iron skillet
I fry up a pound of ground Italian sausage, then a pound of ground bison.
Lastly, I fry two Omaha Steak veal patties and slice them into little ribbons.
Mix them all together with generous portions of ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese, and a minimal amount of tomato sauce. I cook it for about a half-hour, let it cool down for an hour or so, and divide it into six containers.
If I have it for dinner, I'll have one container. If I have it for lunch, it's usually half a container.
In either case, I generally reheat it on the stove with a bit of olive oil or I might microwave it.
I've experimented with it, adding diced tomato, onion, peppers, and with or without the various cheeses, and even tried it with country-fried steak instead of the veal but this seems like it's close to the final recipe. I've been meaning to add a splash or two of BBQ sauce but I haven't had any.
Like most Italian food, I think it is better a day or two after it's first cooked.

Also, if I can suggest, try mixing in about half a jar of this with that.

It comes in regular, mild and hot. It just might add the right zest to pick it up a bit.

I’ve had this with eggplant dishes that were stuffed as well as pizza with the mixture and it always is the right touch,

I think the word "deconstructed" should be involved on that path, but I'm leaning more towards some variant of goulash.

I just don't have a good pormanteau of babaganoush and goulash. Babagoulash sounds wrong to me, as does babagagoulash.
May the cards fall in your favor.

I don't recall seeing stuffing in the process.

No worries; I'm being pedantic about a dish I'm unlikely to be involved with.

Tonight.

Stuffed eggplant with spicy Italian sausage, mozzarella, prosciutto and tomatoes.

Garlic bread.

Waiting on my $500.00 from my buddy as I bet him Bills would make first TD, he took the Pats. Nice !

Bills mafia is probably losing their mind and doing dangerous stuff about now. Picnic tables are not safe.

Oh, and I had a bean dip and chips for supper, a pretty lousy cheesesteak and fries for lunch.

I ate my first solid food today in 6 days. A very underwhelming low sodium Progresso chicken noodle soup. I think I would rather have a stroke than eat a low salt diet.
