Didn’t know that.

At the time before WWII Jewish people were the largest minority in Ukraine. Holocaust and then the Communist takeover made that history.

But the Muslims and the Jews would agree to never eat pork.

Oddity about Nathan’s Hot Dogs which many New Yorkers assumed were kosher. The Jewish founder Nathan Handwerker could not keep up with “glatt kosher” rules once their production increased. While they are all-beef and thus don’t contain pork he coined the term “kosher-style” to indicate they were free of pork and horsemeat. The ones from Five Guys are also “kosher style” because they are cooked on the same grill as non kosher hamburgers. Halal foods like kosher cannot share utensils or pans and grills with non halal foods.

Ha. I wouldn’t argue with Clint. At least not face to face.

Photo....

Notice the red tower. And the phallic vehicles.

Wonder how many women subliminally had the idea to suggest to their guy about leaving and going to bed early.

I like mayonnaise and onions on a hot dog.

Never was big on ketchup for anything except spaghetti and meatballs once in a great while.

Acceptable hot dog toppings include mustard, chili, onions, relish, sauerkraut, and in some instances, ketchup. But not mayonnaise.

... for a long time the market has been dominated by a kind of hot dog encased in a tubular panini and described, for a reason no French person seems to know, as the “French” dog.

As a Marine on liberty in Barcelona, Spain (attached to the U.S. Navy's 6th Fleet) I had the so called "French Dog" ... this was 60 years ago. Not sure if it was referred to as a "French Dog" but it was delicious. Left an impression ... I've also had Nathans Famous at several hot dog stands in the greater NYC area ... home to Nathan's ... they're OK ... not that great.

Nixon used to eat cottage cheese with ketchup.

I like it on a baked potato, several other items-——and on hot dogs. I even open a ketchup packet and add it to the Burger King Whopper in addition to the regular amount.

I don’t care what people think.

I learned how to speak like I had a frog in my throat when I was a little nipper.

Hot dogs are ubiquitous in Ukraine. But for a long time the market has been dominated by a kind of hot dog encased in a tubular panini and described, for a reason no French person seems to know, as the “French” dog.

Much like in the Czech Republic.

Good for Nathan's.

“I preferred skin on Sabretts growing up.”

Yep. The Sabrett’s pushcart dirty water dogs with kraut and the red onion sauce. Best there is.

Costco sells hot dogs with a soda for $1.50.
