And with summer comes the infamous Bar-B-Q...... and with the Bar-B-Q..... the HOT DOG!!!!!!1

Yes thats right !!!!!!!!!! the HOT DOG!!!!!!!

Food of the GODS..... tube stake on a bun....... YUMMY!

Now the question (as always) is.....

How do you fix your HOT DOG..... what is best for you?



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I like the kind of bun that is split on the top..... not the side...

toasted..... then spicy mustard, the DOG, relish, celery salt, onion, a wedge of pickle, and hot peppers.

Yum............!

I am serious about my WEENIES..... if you are too..... here is a list of the best places that serve them up......

The bun split down the side (top split can fountain the filling up into the moustache!)

few bits of raw mild salad onion
Green tomato chutney - home-made if possible.
umm, "weenie"
Watercress - lots
Aioli (basically, garlic mayo)

But I don't serve them all that often ... hmmm, forecast for Sunday is hot and sunny, barbecue weather, maybe you've given me an idea (or a craving). Thanks!

How a favorite summertime fun-food and a distasteful display of someones dismembered sex organ pickled in a jar belong in the same thread is quite beyond me.

I don't think the obcession is with the US's hot dog....

Well, I took my cue from the words "Tube Steak" in your original post and the word "fun"

Tube steak is a slang term for a hot dog......

The exhibit in that picture is not fun.

This thread is no longer fun as well.....

Toasted top-split buns (not those horrible coney rolls that are everywhere) with honey mustard and spicy brown mustard an celery salt on top. Maybe a lil drizzled cheeder on top. The best dogs tho, no doubts.... Fenway Franks and Sausage Dogs. Right about mid-July, they been simmering since spring training, thick and juicy and ready to burst. I like em boiled, grilled, seared or roasted on a stick over a campfire. If you're at a BBQ, then u must must must have a small plate of either pasta salad or boston baked beans with your hot dogs or you are committing sacriledge, sir, and I shall meet you on the field of honor at sun up to deul or accept your appology. LOL. Sorry, just something RANDOM. LOL

Well my mistake again! The only time until this post I had ever seen the words "tube steak" were on Nifty in stories about men's penises. Every reference to it I had ever seen previously since I heard the term some 8 years ago had been about penises.

So I finally searched with google. Lo and nehold there even appears to be a "Mr Tube Steak" hot dog stand. But so many of the google references are to penises too.

Wikipedia says
  1. "A hot dog is classified as a type of sausage or, alternatively, a sandwich on a suitably shaped bun with the sausage and condiments on it. Also called a frankfurter (named after the city of Frankfurt am Main, Germany) or a frank, a wiener (named after the city of Vienna, Austria, known as Wien in German), or (with tongue in cheek) a tube steak."
  2. Or in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_slang has many references to it as penis

So, it looks very much to me as though the Hot Dog either came second in the definition of "Tube Steak" or that very shortly after it was named, then the words became adopted to mean penis.

Add to that the common us interchangeability between penis and wiener (not a term used inthe uk), and you get the obvious scope for a misunderstanding.

So, Marc, I am sorry I took your invitation to have fun and had fun. It was a simple mistake based on the fact that American slang does not cross the Atlantic.

When I first visited the USA I also saw on TV an alleged sport named "Pocket Billiards". Here that means masturbation. There it is a kind of pool contest. Unless, of course, the TV channel was making a fool of me.

Hmmm. I seem to remember that it was a term used by horny schoolboys who had holes in their trouser pockets, used for having a good scratch when needed.
