Franks, frankfurter, weiner, mini sausages, ball parks, and dachshund, people call hotdogs many different things but, hotdogs, what are they made of? Why do they taste good with what ever are put on them, mustard, ketchup, relish,onions, chili, cheese, and sauerkraut , and yes even MARSHMELLOWS taste good on hotdogs. There are many way to eat them,nuke-em, grill-em, sauté-em, roast-em, fry-em or boil-em, you could eat them raw but Im not totally conviced of there healthiness. Im going to find out what makes the hotdog so TaStEy TaStEy, or SiCk NasTeY.

Contrary to popular belief, hot dogs are not made from left-over meat laying around on the floors of meat packing houses. Whether it is pork or beef that is stuffed into a hot dog, the meat trimmings are carefully selected just like the meat you buy in supermarket fridges.

Most recipes for hot dogs combine together a tasty blend of favorite meats, meat fat (yum), a cereal filler which could be bread crumbs, flour, oatmeal, a little bit of egg white, and different herbs and seasonings including garlic, pepper, ground mustard, nutmeg, salt, and onion.

Once these ingredients are grinded together, the stuffing is squeezed into sausage casings. Many of the hot dogs sold in stores are enclosed in synthetic cellulose (not cellulite) casings, but most home-made hot dogs are made out of natural animal intestines.

So hotdogs are sort of safe to eat, kind of nasty ingridients, but none the less tastey!!!! So have fun eating hotdogs, o yeah july is national hotdog month!!!
