Hot dog options?

Critical Hot Dog Update:

OH went to Waitrose to get milk and booze and I told him to get weenies and buns too. Forgot to show him this thread, just told him NO CANNED WEENIES. He totally came through with both the suggested Herta brand AND the brioche buns. ALL ON HIS OWN!

They were so good on the grill, we ate all 4 and really hit the spot with some ketchup and mustard. I have just put the packet of 10 in my Ocado cart so we are ready for the 4th of July and I never ever have a hot dog crisis again. Thanks everyone!

The brioche buns are the BEST from M&S! (Not tried waitrose). Brioche buns in general are amazing!

Now I want a hot dog.... 

Funny, hot dogs are on the menu tonight.  My wife bought some wierd looking polish things that are probably 50/50 ears and butt holes.  I'll just have to cover them with ketchup and shove them down.

Omg, I was already feeling slightly ill... 

My ex used to only eat kosher hotdogs due to this and would joke about other dogs being made of "everything but the oink."

hahaha my family went with "lips and buttholes" but ears are probably in there too. This is why we too would eat kosher.

How does Kosher make it better?  Do they limit what parts go in?  Wait a minute, Kosher must mean no pork?

Yeah sorry the particular brand we purchased was kosher (so 100% beef) and it had all good cuts of meat (so not lips and buttholes). You're right, kosher specific doesn't necessarily mean no gross bits, but the particular brand we purchased was the more expensive ones that supposedly eliminated all of that. I want to say it was Hebrew National but it might have been another type (can't remember!)

Hebrew National are the only ones I would eat in the US. They are the best.

Kosher hot dogs do not contain pork, and supposedly only contain "high quality cuts of meat" - which I choose to assume does not include cow lips and butt holes.

I'm not afraid of 'parts' - haggis is yummy! -It's all about the taste and texture. 

I did always love a hot dog on the grill, all blistered from the heat, with a bit of sweet pepper relish. 

We had a few local hot dog places growing up that had amazing BBQ sauced ones. They also seemed to do BBQ hot dogs in our school cafeterias growing up. 

Scouring the web, it's an easy recipe to repeat:
2 cups water
2 cups ketchup
2 cups coarsely chopped onions
2 tbls. Worcestershire sauce
1.5 tsp. Browing Sauce
1/4 cup. brown sugar

Toasted bun, served with rootbeer

Me too, I actually ate fried pigs ear twice over the summer. 

But what do you do with that sauce?  Use it instead of Ketchup?    I swear you grew up in a different America than I did.  I've never heard of that. 

I do fully agree with Root Beer.

But what do you do with that sauce?  Use it instead of Ketchup?

Usually, the hot dogs were just kind of swimming in it, keeping warm/simmering until someone ordered one and then the person serving you would take out a dog, chuck into toasted bun and spoon the sauce all over it. Very messy, but tasty. 

I dare someone to try this!

All that cabbage is going to make you fart like crazy. 

Here's my dinner, a crime against hot dogs:

Looks like vienna sausages to me!
