Question for the southerners
 

Can someone explain to me the deal with the red hot dogs? I never saw anything like this back in Michigan so I'm assuming it's a southern thing. are they just hot dogs colored red for fun or do they have a special taste too? Also there are some really fat and short red hot dogs too.

Couldn't tell ya brutha, I don't eat hot dogs. I've seen them make them! :ack:

never seen red dogs that length. most here are shorter & called "hot links" :cheers:

:iagree:

lips & azzholes. :rofl:

Everything but the squeal. :yesnod:

they are usually pickled in a red juices that are kinda spicy

Obviously you need to get a life if on a Saturday afternoon you are wondering about weenies

Aint that the truth. Actually I had just returned from the grocery store and well, you can figure out the rest.:D

Not a Dog Guy but found this info..

Kirshner hotdogs makes a red hotdog. They put red die in and are made for fairs and carnivals. The red is for the looks..

Having red hot dogs in your refrigerator is better than having money in the bank and clean socks in the drawer. You get to decide whether to share them, or keep them secret and just sneak down in the middle of the night to steam one up, load it with your favorite gahhnishes, and savor every crispy-skinned bite.

This is the real thing. Contains authentic FD&C Red No. 6 and Red No.4 food dyes and all the fondest memories you have of summer cookouts and diner lunches. Some old good. TWO packages, about 25 hot dogs per package, each package weighing 3 pounds.

To be honest, I agree with ya, never figured out the red weenies either.

Dogs have red weenies.:leaving:


WTF? Who thought up this sales pitch?


Try our authentic German Brats too, now with extra Zyklon B! :willy:

Not entirely true. Most of our hot dogs here in Arkansas are red. they are not spicy at all. They are a little thinner than your typical dog but taste the same.

:lol:

But the vinegar overwhelms any spice. Those things will give ya lockjaw.

Lived in the south almost my whole life and there's no way I'd eat those things. :willy:

The red ones are just dye....they don't really taste all that different then just a regular generic dog. When it comes to dogs, I usually say go all beef, or go home, and if you can find the ones in the natural casings...some call them "snappy dogs"

Well in the small town im from we pickle them and they become red like that from the way its done. But maybe he is talking about ones for carnivals and crap. and are just die'd that way

I am just curious, ever eat balogna?

:iagree: We have the pickled ones too. I don't care for them as much and you're right. They're spicy. I had forgot about those because you don't see them that much anymore. In the small, rural towns you see them more.

There was a bar back home called the Bow Tie and it was out in the sticks, they had jars of Pickled eggs, pickled turkey gizzards, pickled pigs feet and some other creepy stuff and they went through those jars pretty quick! They also had a special on deep fried chicken livers. God that place gave me the heebie jeebies.

Pickled turkey gizzards? No schit? Eek!
