The mystery of what is a Lincoln Log sandwich has been solved by Brian Williams in that Slate.com commentary about The Sopranos. Williams had remarked that Carm fixing the sandwiches brought back memories, and Timothy Noah asked what the sandwiches were.
Here's what Williams responded:
"...Would that my mother were here to defend herself. She went to her reward years ago, and with her went the Lincoln Log recipe. During what has been a painful day of culinary reminiscence on my part, all I can recall were Oscar Mayer "frankfurters" (as my dad still calls them, I believe in deference to the Supreme Court justice) split suggestively down the middle (I never watched that part, because as with lobsters, I was never really sure they were dead) and then slathered-in our version-lengthwise in mayonnaise. I know. How do you think I feel? That was my life in north Jersey. They made for a handy, portable heart attack on a bun. Enough aggressively bad food in a fist-size package to give the eater/victim instant angina (and this was years before he got voted off American Idol) if not worse. I remember we had to get a certain kind of bun-the Pepperidge Farm "New England cut"-so that when splayed open it presented more like a double-thickness slab of Wonder Bread. On the dog would go copious amounts of mayo-and in some houses, cream cheese. Always Breakstone's. My mom later developed some tsoris over the quality of the Oscar Mayers, so we switched to Hebrew Nationals."

Now see... I just heard a long conversation on a local talk radio station... with callers confirming.. that the hot dogs were spread with cream cheese. And as much as cream cheese doesn't seem to fit with a hot dog, I think I'd rather have that than mayo. So, they say a Lincoln Log is a split dog, with cream cheese and probably on white bread.

Hell, and I thought such a concoction was simply necessity back in the day when I was a poor undergraduate. Had I known that I was indulging in some haute cusine, I perhaps would not have been so testy or bitter.

In Long Island we filled them with cheese, then wrapped them in a Pillsbury croissant.
He may not necessarily be Jewish. Alot of people in the New Jersey/New York area use Yiddish words even if they're not Jewish. Hell, I'm Italian and I use Yiddish words and I grew up outside of DC.

My favorite dish during my poor undergrad days was - this is a little sick - a can of tuna over noodles with a spoonfull of either butter or italian dressing.
It sounds disgusting - but sometimes I actually get an urge for it now and I still make it from time to time.

I've never heard goyim use the word tsoris and goyim don't eat hebrew national in New York, either. They eat sabrett, nathan's, or oscar meyer.

Just as a matter of curiosity, why don't goyim eat Hebrew National in NY? I just put them on my list, after reading about them, and seeing the commercials, because it seemed that they might not have some of the disgusting junk, and as much fat, as regular hotdogs, but not be as tasteless as, say, Healthy Choices.

The HN package claims 100% all beef content. As for NYC goyim not preferring HN hot dogs, it's just a cultural thing. It's like Jews prefer Fox's U-bet chocolate syrup to others. It's just the way it is.

Ah, but they do. From der wiki:
"In the United States, the term "pigs in a blanket" refers to hot dogs, Vienna sausages, or link sausages wrapped in biscuit dough or crescent-roll dough, and baked. A common variation is to slit the hot dog or sausage and stuff it with cheese before wrapping in dough. The dough is sometimes homemade, but canned dough is most common."

hebrew national is now made by conagra and is full of soy and food starch like all their products

Right, and I'll bet you'll eat pastrami on white bread, too.
