How to ruin a hot dog!!

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

I’ve had a look and the frankfurters I buy do have “natural sheep casing” so that explains the snap.
They are really the only frankfurters I like for hot dogs.

I will eat others but I don’t get the same joy from them, unless they’re smothered in the works!

I have cookingbites to thank for introducing me to the chilli dog.
They were a mahoosive hit with the boys.
They require a smaller amount of chilli than just making chilli con carne on its own and that’s kinda handy when you’re tired. They feel like bad food that makes you feel good!

I believe they’re cooked in a casing and then the casing is removed.

OK. That makes sense.

Here is the cheap tinned version of hotdogs in the UK. I don't think they have skin either. They are mainly made of chicken

I’m diabetic and hot CC dogs are one of the worst things to eat. Never been a big fan of them but would grill some once or twice a year. Once the skill starts to bc split they are perfect for me. I have a friend that loves them. But if it doesn’t have any black skin he says they are not cooked properly.

We make chili for a meal, then use part of the leftovers for chili dogs. We plan it that way.

You and your friend would like "rippers."

I will never forget when I took DD and DGDs to a local to them tourist spot they had been wanting to visit. We decided to get lunch there. It was diner food. Youngest DGD, 5 or 6 then, was an extremely picky eater and the only thing even on the kid's menu she would eat was a hot dog. So, we ordered that for her. It came out and was a ripper. She looked at it, then looked up at me and her mom with this horrified expression on her face. We had to send it back and ask for a hot dog cooked the regular way. I still can't believe they would cook hot dogs for kids that way, especially in a place where people don't expect them to be cooked like that. We teased DGD about that look for a long time after.
