Its Hot Dog day

It seems every day as its day from “Read in the Bathtub day” to “Ballpoint pen day”.

More interesting for me is the food days because of my love affair with food that I love to eat. Today is officially “Hot dog day”. I do love a hot dog with lashings of fried onions and red sauce but not a frying pan in sight for me these days its oven baked boring but healthier. Not one of the vegetarians although you can get a veggie hot dog.

I am fussy about the hot dog/sausage these days there was a time I would happily munch into a tin of hot dogs and think nothing about it, then one day I read the ingredients. Mechanically recovered chicken just turned my stomach up and made me think about what I was eating and tin hot dogs were well and truly off the menu. I am not a fan of the German frankfurters either which I find tasteless.

That leaves me with real sausages and not the cheap and nasty one but the high-end full of real meat. Checking the price of a tin of eight hot dogs, it would cost me 69p, while the sausages I buy from my butchers cost me around £4 for eight. A big difference in price but a price I am willing to pay for quality.
