What’s one food that goes great with grilling, camping, tailgating or a late night snack? The hotdog. Like baseball and apple pie, the hotdog is enjoyed by many as a classic American tradition. The hotdog is quick, easy, delicious and works wonderfully as an afternoon lunch or a special campfire snack. You can make the classic hotdog by adding a bun, ketchup, and just enough mustard, or you go Coney style by adding chili, cheese and onions. The hotdog is a blank canvas – be creative and come up with the next “hot” way to enjoy a hotdog.
What is this appetizing food actually made of? I have often had people tell me that hotdogs are made of pig snouts, leftover scraps, and things you don’t even want to think about. I can’t help but chuckle at this age-old myth. Contrary to common belief, hotdogs are not made from the unwanted pieces of meat. The meat trimmings are carefully selected and cut just like the meat in your grocery coolers. They are inspected and approved by the United States Department of Agriculture to insure that they are safe for you to eat.
So don’t confuse this family favorite with something that it’ not. Enjoy a hotdog! Just make sure that hotdog is made of pork!
