I have to have some carbs, or I crash from low blood sugar.
Pita isn't much, better than 3 rolls!
I am quite the carnivore though

....
type 1 then? if not, check out dr shawn baker and zeroing in on health or world carnivore tribe facebook groups. justmeat.co is a good starting point also if you can go full zero carb.

i am not diabetic thankfully and 3 months zero carb carnivore (nothing but meat and water) and I love it

Type 2, but I take meds to help control BS.
10 years B4 I was diagnosed I had symptoms, of course I had no idea what they were (dropping too low).
I eat a lot of meat, always have, and try not to have many carbs.

many T2D have been able to get off their meds with zero carb so it might be worth your time to do some research into it to see if it could work for you

40 years ago when I hung out with Cheech and Chong on a very regular basis that would have been a hit!
Way back when this was one of the brands I used to roll
my own cigarettes so when this album
upload_2018-3-15_5-15-36.jpeg (which I still own) came out
we were tempted to use the included collector's item (still have mine)
In fact one of our buds volunteered his...

As in one long dog or all together like a thick dog? ( :D )
No.
You have to boil those dogs in beer and put cheddar cheese slices on yer pita

Nah. Smother those things in chili and top with a lot of shredded cheddar cheese. At least we agree on the cheese! :wave:

I'm tellin' ya, it's a hot dog taco! lol

I prefer the chili on the side.
I'm not into those wraps, either pita or tortilla types.
What I do is put enough dogs sliced down the middle to cover a slice of bread on one slice,
put a bunch of cheese, shredded or sliced on the other slice. Gotta melt the cheese, that's the most important part..
As in all sandwiches butter on one slice mustard on the other.

PS..now that we munched out together.."Hi-Ho" :)

I'm really not into wraps or pitas either. I'd much rather have a yeast hot dog roll, split and grilled in butter, but gotta have good hot dogs and chili.

Hey, thanks for breakfast! :)

You're welcome. Let's make it a picnic next time.
Grilled in butter seems like something I'd do to the buns.

I didn’t know you could boil a hotdog

That's the way my mother always made them when I was a kid. Back then she'd buy those old red hot dogs that folks in the South love, and they'd turn the water pink. :) I really like them best fried or grilled (with just a slight char here and there), but the microwave is mighty convenient.

I'd never heard of boiling them in beer - sounds like something the Germans invented - but I'm not a beer fan anyway.

The alcohol in the beer gets all the nasty fat out,
Not sure about the beer part but hot dogs are something the Germans invented:
1805 – The people of Vienna (Wien), Austria point to the term “wiener” to prove their claim as the birthplace of the hot dog. It is said that the master sausage maker who made the first wiener got his early training in Frankfurt, Germany. He called his sausage the “wiener-frankfurter.” But it was generally known as “wienerwurst.” The wiener comes from Wien (the German name of Vienna) and wurst means sausage in German.

1852 – The butcher’s guild in Frankfurt, Germany introduced a spiced and smoked sausage which was packed in a thin casing and they called it a “frankfurter” after their hometown. The sausage had a slightly curved shape supposedly due to the coaxing of a butcher who had a popular dachshund. The frankfurter was also known as a “dachshund sausage” and this name came with it to America.

1880 – A German peddler, Antonoine Feuchtwanger, sold hot sausages in the streets of St. Louis, Missouri. He would supply white gloves with each purchase so that his customers would not burn their hands while eating the sausage. He saw his profits going down because the customers kept taking the gloves and walking off with them. His wife suggested that he put the sausages in a split bun instead. He reportedly asked his brother-in-law, a baker, for help. The baker improvised long soft rolls that fit the meat, thus inventing the hot dog bun. When he did that, the hot dog was born. He called them red hots.

Slow-simmering hot dogs in beer gives them a mellow flavor and tender texture that's a great alternative to grilling or frying. Naturally you can top them with anything you want, but we think out beer infused sauerkraut makes the perfect complement.
------------------------
The other night I was reading an article about now defunct restaurant chains
like Howard Johnson's and their 28 flavors of ice cream
(their secret was they contained about 25% butterfat whereas most other brands have 16%)

Anyway the article featured Lum's. Lum's was started by a guy on Miami Beach and his hotdog stand.
The secret to his success was he steamed his dogs in beer.
There was a Lum's across from Coconut Grove Park (where lot's of local hippie types hung out)
and I often found myself munching on Lum Dogs while nurturing a tall glass of draught (draft) beer sprinkled with salt.

From all I've read, we do NOT want to know how Hot Dogs are actually made, and I'm good, don't wanna know!

Very interesting! You know, it seems like I have heard of Lum's before, but don't know where or when that would have been. Maybe my stepdad. He was a bellhop in one of the big, fancy hotels in Miami Beach back in the days when the likes of Frank Sinatra et al spent their leisure time in Miami Beach. Would probably have been the late 1950s.

Same stepdad, after he and my mom split, used to pick us girls up on Sunday mornings and we'd have breakfast at Howard Johnson's. My thing was scrambled eggs with ham (scrambled up in the eggs) and something they had called "Corn Toasties." It was like a flat square of sweet cornbread, toasted and buttered. Plus chocolate milk, of course. Awesome when you're a kid!

Muzz, my son and husband install big overhead doors in businesses. They have had to work in packing plants from time to time.

Believe me, you do NOT want to know. :eek:

This is how most Lum's looked.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lum's
LUMS was founded in 1956 in Miami Beach, Florida, by Stuart and Clifford S. Perlman[1] when they purchased Lum's hot dog stand for $10,000. Over the next few years, the Perlman brothers opened three additional Lum's restaurants, for a total of four by 1961.[2]

Clifford Perlman, in addition to owning Lum's, had been serving as the president of Southern Wood Industries, Inc., resigned that position to work full-time for Lum's. Under the brothers, Lum's began aggressively expanding and franchising; the signature item was hot dogs steamed in beer. In 1969, Lum's, Inc. was admitted to the New York Stock Exchange.

Lum's, Inc. purchased Caesars Palace for $60 million in 1969. At that time, Caesars was a 500-room hotel-casino on the famous Las Vegas strip. The food operations of Lum's, Inc. were sold in 1971 to John Y. Brown, then chairman of Kentucky Fried Chicken along with a group of investors.[3] At the time of sale, the company owned and franchised 400 stores in the continental U.S., Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Europe.

In 1978, Wienerwald Holdings, A.G., a Swiss holding company and parent of the Wienerwald restaurant chain, under the direction of Friedrich Jahn, purchased the 273 restaurant chain from Brown.[4] However, Wienerwald had overextended itself and was forced to file for bankruptcy in 1982

-------------------------------
I'm sure I tried all the Howard Johnson's ice cream flavors but I never did actually try their food
except one time when a bud and I stopped in to see his girlfriend who was a waitress
and she gave us some fries.

Otay, Bro..I won't tell you about picking large chunks of bloody beef fat out of 55 gallon drums,
weighing out exactly 50 pounds, putting the fat in the box, strapping and stacking them on a pallet...
I won't even mention how my white cotton gloves and the skin on my hands looked after work..

This thread IS about hot dogs, Willys...besides, "off the rails", you must be new here. This is not ECF.

I don't know what ECF is. The hot dog part is understood, the spiral into diabetes is where it started to jump off the rails. Then the history of Lum's, slaughterhouses. Etc...

Title is a slight bit understated.

I used to spend summers killing chickens and pigs. Never pulled parts and fat out of any barrels the smell of the blood after a few hours in the sun is something that you never forget.

Hey guys, not for nothing, but I DON'T WANT to hear about slaughtering, and blood juice landing on your cock while smashing shit!
I'm good, but Thanks for the info!

Lums began as a hot dog stand and slaughterhouses are where hot dogs get their start in life.
Diabetes is what one gets if one eats nothing but hot dogs and drinks a lot of coke.

I spent several summers killing also but they weren't chicken or pigs...
Old blood smells pretty much the same regardless of whose blood it is...

ECF stands for e-cigarette forum where the kinder gentler vapers hang out:
