Welcome to Where the Plan Of the Day is: Mirth...Merriment...and FUN! Today, we're gonna look at AMERICA'S favorite fast food! The HOT DOG! .......Hey, what's in a hot dog, anyway?.... Nope. You're not allowed to ask that one. And do you really want to know anyway? For the record, the Council refers to the actual meat as "specially selected meat trimmings." They would like to point out, however, that thanks to stricter U.S. Department of Agriculture rules, hot-dog meat has become much leaner and, unless otherwise indicated, must be made from muscle (as most meat found in supermarkets is). Most supermarket hot dogs use cellulose casings, which are removed before packaging. Some, however, still use the traditional natural casings, made from animal intestines. By law, a hot dog can contain up to 3.5 percent of "non-meat ingredients." Don't be scared. This is usually just some type of milk or soy product used to add to the nutritional value. Many hot dogs may be relatively high in fat and sodium, but they are also a good source of protein, iron, and other necessary vitamins. ......How did the hot dog get its name? The term "hot dog" is credited to sports cartoonist Tad Dorgan. At a 1901 baseball game at the Polo Grounds in New York, vendors began selling hot dachsund sausages in rolls. From the press box, Dorgan could hear the vendors yelling, "Get your dachshund sausages while they're red hot!" He sketched a cartoon depicting the scene but wasn't sure how to spell "dachshund" so he called them simply, "hot dogs." And the rest is history. Also called frankfurters, frank, weenie, wienie, wiener, dog, and red hot. A cooked sausage that consists of a combination of beef and pork or all beef, which is cured, smoked, and cooked. Seasonings may include coriander, garlic, ground mustard, nutmeg, salt, sugar, and white pepper. They are fully cooked but are usually served hot. Sizes range from big dinner frankfurters to tiny cocktail size. Hot dogs are among America's favorite foods. Every year, Americans consume on average 60 hot dogs! Hot dogs are primarily regarded as a fun, summertime food, and most are eaten between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Americans are not the only ones who love hot dogs. The Spanish call them "perrito caliente," in Italian, it's "cane caldo," the French refer to them as "chien chaud," Germans call them "Heisser Hund," and the Dutch have dubbed them "worstjes." Did You Know? It is said that the legendary baseball player Babe Ruth (1895-1948) once downed 24 hot dogs between games of a double header. Hot dogs are primarily regarded as a fun, summertime food, and most are eaten between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Vienna Beef Makes World's Longest Hot Dog: 16 Feet, 1 Inch To celebrate National Hot Dog Month and the Fourth of July last year, the Chicago-based Vienna Beef assembled the world's longest hot dog, measuring 16 feet, 1 inch and topping the previous record of 15 feet, 3 inches recorded in Pennsylvania in 2001. The giant feat took place near Buckingham Fountain during the annual Taste of Chicago food festival. All across America, Americans like to eat their hot dogs differently: Texas Corn Dog
Cincinnati Cheese Coney
Dodger Dog
And OUR FAVORITE..... Chicago Red Hot
The Chicago Dog/Chicago Style Hot Dog is a thing of beauty, friends. It is The hot dog -- everything else in comparison is just a wiener in a bun. The origin of the one true dog is debated, but is generally credited to Austria-Hungarian Anton Ludwig Feuchtwanger who was assembling them as early as 1893 for the Chicago Worlds Fair. The Chicago Dog is important because, unlike traditional (term used loosely) dogs where there is too much bun and not enough other, the Chicago Dog gives an excellent overall balance -- the wiener is not the focal point of the dog, but is taken as part of the whole work of art. The reason for this is that there is more to them than meat, bread and condiments. Individual preferences and recipes will always have some wiggle room, but generally a Chicago Dog will have steamed or boiled frank with yellow mustard, pickle relish, chopped onion, tomato wedges (not slices, wedges), a kosher dill spear and celery salt/celery seed. Acceptable (and recommended) additions are hot "sport" peppers (whole, not sliced), and some people say diced green pepper is good, though I don't prefer it myself. There are few mandates about it's assembly save a few points: the mustard will be drizzled off the side of the wiener (not on top of it), the tomato (WEDGES!) will be placed on the frank/bun crevice on one side and the pickle spear on the other. This pickle/tomato placement them builds up the sides of the 'dog and makes a neat furrow for the relish/onions/peppers to sit in without falling out before you partake. Never put ketchup/catsup/catchup/whatever on it. Ever. It's just not an option. Deal with it.

We used to "party" in downtown Austin until the early 80s. Then the daughter was born in 1985 and we moved to LV in 1990. Now our parties are at home or at friends/neighbors' homes. I could have crawled home from the New Years party this past Jan 1.
My wife and her friend are having a wine/hot tub/poker party at our house tomorrow PM. As my wife's friend said to me the other day, "You may have to go fishing or something, as some of the girls may get wild, even 'nekid'".
They must be liberals. You know, the kind of folks that can't think for themselves.
---------------------------------------------------------
That somehow did not turn out the way it was typed.
I think your fishing buddies might have trouble keeping their poles away from your hot tub .... uhhh ... that sounded bad. hmm ... maybe that's what I meant.
Well, fer heaven's sake, go git some sleep, young lady...the Canteen will still be here when you awake...MUD
Nope, you sure can't! :-)

Very excruciating, I assume.
The skits he did of Clinton were right on! :)
Oh to be a fly on the wall for that. LOL
That's one thing I can truly count on. They can send me to a new post every two months until I retire and the Canteen will always be in the same place with the same wonderful people. Thanks again, to everybody. Goodnight.
