  do you know i love hotdogs??? LOL
   
  i like the ones with thick casing.......the big ones that get so fat on the bbq that they split.  then spicy mustard and saurkraut!!!  oh my that sounds delicious!
   
  yesterday my husband and son went to a minor league baseball game here-  and before he left my husband said, "i can't wait to have a hotdog".  LOL...i know what you mean about the squished bread but you're right, nothing tastes quite so good as those dang dogs!

  I like hot dogs--as long as I don't think too hard about where and what they come from!
  
  Hot dogs, fair food, etc, all taste so good to me because they're not everyday treats.

  secret- My wife was raised by a father who is one of those people who will only eat about 16 to 22 foods. Children learn a lot from parents and unfortunately a low  food variety is one of them. I've worked twenty-five years on her and now she will eat many things. I got her to like pinto beans last year. She still won't eat olives, any kind of melon, most fish ( although I've had success here), and saurkraut.
  
  Saurkraut on hot dogs is wonderful, but I can't serve it here yet. Those hot dogs you describe are making my mouth water.
  
  Oh, she will now eat mustard, but not spicy mustard. What is that?

  eilan- What you don't want to do is visit a place where food is being made - like wieners, or lunch meat, or actually, any meat.
  
  I'm sure there's something to the fact these foods aren't everyday things.

  It's better for me if I don't think too much about most of the foods I eat!  Even certain things that can be prepared at home, like gravy, wilted greens, etc, make me queasy when I think about how they're made.  :)
  
  My mom's workplace is right across from the local fairground, and every year she and her co-workers spend a week eating fair food for lunch.  *shudder*
  
  One or two co-workers go to the fair with money and a list of what everyone wants--it's a small department, so it's not as time consuming as it might seem.  My mom always finds it to be a bit of an indulgence and a break from the routine of preparing her own lunch every morning, but she's glad to get back to her regular eating habits.  There's a point where deep-fried [insert food here] gets really old!

  BeyBey....best hot dogs i have ever ate? New York....hands down...
  
  I like them with a bit of mustard, a bit of relish and onion. Simple like that....
  
  Eilan.....I don't eat any fair food...just the idea makes me bleah...
  We have a huge fair going on each year at Six Flags in Dallas...they can eat ANYTHING FRIED there......even your momma.....;-D.
  
  A lot of people tell me that fried twinkies are from Heaven.....sorry......i just cant do it.......just can't.......:-)
  

• beyondtheveil said on Aug 10, 2008....

  eilan- You know what is better I don't think about? All the fried food I've already  eaten. Fried chicken and eggs head the list. There were people who felt certain foods could only be prepared that way and my extended family was included.
  
  ginsoul- I have been wanting to visit New York City for a long time. My wife has known for years one (or many) of my stops must be the hot dog vendor.

• beyondtheveil said on Aug 10, 2008....

  queenie- Hot dogs are popular in the Philippines? 

• queenparanoia said on Aug 11, 2008....

  beyond: dude, we may be the third world country but we are not that behind... besides filipino culture has some few american culture too... we are a culture of different countries... and hotdogs are so popular here that we eat it at breakfast... yes hotdogs are eaten with rice or bread during breakfast... hehehehhe who's hungry now?

• scipio said on Aug 11, 2008....

  These foods can't be enjoyed in a sterile enviroment like in restaurants or homes. Best eaten outside - which enhances the taste .

  I'm not a huge hotdog fan but BOY, at the baseball stadium they hit a homerun every single time. What do they do to them there? And yes Beyond, the peanuts were great too. Salty, messy, delicious. Thanks for the memory.

• beyondtheveil said on Aug 11, 2008....

  queenie- I had no idea. I don't consider your country third world, but didn't know this. And hot dogs for breakfast? Sounds mighty fine to me.
  
  scipio- That's true with some of the food they brew for these events. Its like sand in your eggs while camping, didn't bother us a bit, added to the moment.
  
  woman- I've tried at home many times to duplicate those little dogs and make them taste the same. Can't do it.

  I LOVE Fenway Franks!  I envied Little D. when she told me she had one at the game last weekend.  Then I had to see the picture...I could have cried!  I wanted to grab it off the screen and eat it!  Mr. Daily's tricked up his hot dog making at home and smothers the hot dogs in Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce before he cooks them.  You have to try it...SO good!

  daily- My father-in-law is from that area (of course, since my wife's from RI). I think he almost worships the Red Socks. The next time I see him, I must ask about hot dogs at Fenway Park - he's a world class snacker. Your husband's dogs sound great.  

• queenparanoia said on Aug 11, 2008....

  beyond: the philippines is a third world country although we are much better than some countries... and yes hotdogs for breakfast are the best!!!
