Wiener Obsession.
You
crave it.
You yearn for it.
Sometimes it comes in a dream.
Perhaps you have even woken up broken out in sweat thinking about
it.
It's just short of making your loins quiver.
Don't worry baby, you can have it.
What you need is only an arms length away.
Face it!.
We are obsessed with wieners!
Those crispy crunchy sausage. When you bite it,
that flavorful juice dripping down the sides of your mouth.
Just put one on a toasted seeded roll and grab it with both hands,
baby. Don't be bashful because there's plenty more for you to handle.
Wieners come in a tremendous variety of shapes and sizes. Foot long,
short and stubby, and rolled in to a ring.
Oh!, what lengths some people will do to get a delicious one!
A multitude of types to be enjoyed. Flavorful beef, pork and spices are
combined and gently stuffed in to a sheer
casing. The blend of ingredients differentiate the flavors and textures.
English eat Bangers, Italians use pork with fennel seeds, Polish created
Kielbasa and German's enjoy Bratwurst and Weinwurst. Other flavors
include Spicy Cajun, Spanish Chorizo and German Knockwurst. Wieners are a
German cult. It is the perfect example of an immigrant group that have
brought their culture here.
Americans definitely have their favorite wiener. It is the Frankfurter.
The hot dog has become an American icon. Oscar Meyer Co., has epitomize
this by roaming the countryside in their Wiener Mobile. Can you imagine
passing a twenty foot long hot dog on the highway?. I have seen it and it
left me aghast! In the United States hot dogs are to sports as milk is to
cookies.
We have tested a few unconventional cooking
methods in hot dog preparation. Most of you grill, broil and boil your
"Dogs". Try one of these new recipes for a change and let us know what
you think. Some of our favorite toppings for hot dogs are hot spicy
mustard, catsup, fried peppers and onions, pickle relish, chili, cheddar
cheese and crispy
bacon.
