Luke, that nobody has leapt upon your Q (considering the elapsed time) is nothing short of astonishing. ask the "average bear" here in the PacNW about the constituent ingredients in a "ballpark hotdog" & they'll simply advise you that the aforementioned contains nothing other than "lips & assholes".(beefwise) however, considering the fact that i've personally consumed at least one of these beauties during most ballgames attended ( here in Vancouver at Nat Bailey Stadium, Triple-A, Pacific Coast League, around 70 games per year ) during the last decade ... i feel i've the right to chirp. (you are what you eat ...? geeeez) .................................................................... A: the dog ingredients: ( i'll send remarks off-list ) B: the bun: hey, when in Rome ... C: les accoutrements: there are four (4) traditionals 1: mustard, ONLY real USA mustard works (prefer "French's") 2: onions, hey ... chopped to size preference & liberally applied 3: relish, GREEN. slightly sweet, pickle relish. 4: sauerkraut, well drained & liberally applied D: OK, you've got you're basic ballparkdog. now what ...? HOT that puppy up! add pickled peppers, your favourites sliced jalapenos calvin's jim's finishing sauce call mom E: last but not least ... as Clint Eastwood has said .... " nobody ... i mean nobody ... puts ketchup on a hotdog . " it's my fave Eastwood quote. it takes some time to download ... http://www.clinteastwood.net/soundclips/hotdog.wav regards peter g
