Luke, just a few more words about hot dogs. check out this site http://www.hot-dog.org yep, it's for real, a project of the american meat institute. fact filled & fun! how are hot dogs made? http://www.hot-dog.org/hd_made.htm there's even a page about hot dog etiquette http://www.hot-dog.org/hd_etiquette.htm ketchup? oh boy ... they have advice here as well. i quote: "Don't, use ketchup on your hot dog after the age of 18." this is obviously a misprint. likely supposed to have been age 13. the error prolly occurred due to an involuntary shudder on the part of the typist when confronted with the socially unsavoury concept ... one more comment, please don't forget the noble CHili dog ! top that dog with your favourite CHili, & garnish with chopped white onion & shredded cheddar or mozza. heavenly. regards peter g
