Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

QQQ


A hot dog at the ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz.


Humphrey Bogart


(via Ace on hot dogs). Hot dogs are disgusting if you consider how they are made, but the same goes for any sausages. All tasty though. Just mustard, please.

Real skins, made from intestines, are a must for maximal flavor. The Alpine brand (available in ShopRite supermarkets in CT) is wonderful for Weisswurst and other "German" ones. Oscar Meyer and other national brands are junk.

Some of us are happy with Gwaltney Great Dogs. For summer sausage or kielbasa, Hillshire Farm is the way to go!

Go to Milwaukee, try Klements.

"Nothing tops a plain Hot Dog."

Mustard? Only in an emergency.

The ultimate dog is the Chili Dog. With onions. And cheese.

Remember to boil your brats in beer before grilling.

I like mine cole slaw and a slice of tomato.

I don't like all-beef hot dogs. The cheaper ones taste better.

OMG! I'm not the only one who prefers the franks made with chicken lips and pig nostrils!

I call my links text file sausages. (honk!)
Haven't had one in years, enjoy!
The Cincinnati style with everything is about unbeatable.
Kraut, shredded cheddar cheese, chili sauce, onion, the works.

Wranglers. Hot dog sized smoked sausage. Or coarse-ground hot dogs I suppose you could call them. Deeeelicious. Mustard only, of course.

Where are you buying Wranglers? I used to love Wranglers but I have seen them in years. I can't even remember who made them.

Bogart was 100% right.

I'll probably get soundly roasted for this, but I confess I occasionally get a hankering for a Costco 1/4lb dog, loaded disgustingly with mustard, ketchup, and relish. And at $1.50 I feel like the King of Cheap when I gobble it down.

I second that. I actually like hotdogs and I do know how they are made. What I like best about Costco is that hot dogs or pizza my wife can't eat all hers so I get half of hers too.

One of the reasons I try to avoid IKEA is the absolute certainty that I will shamelessly down two of their hot dogs whenever I enter the premises.

But is it a sandwich?

Since nobody else did, I’ll mention the magic of Costco’s oversize tubesteak. Best thing one can get for $1.50.
