I've read a lot of complaints about the above combination, and thought I'd
see what I could stir up on this group as far as what people like on hot
dogs. I'm not a fan of ketchup on hot dogs, but if that is all there is,
I enjoy it just fine.

However, one of my favorite items on hot dogs is tomatoes. Along with
some mustard and onions, I feel a hot dog is complete for me.

How about you folks?

Ketchup, mustard, onion, occasionally sweet pickle relish, sometimes
cheese.

I used to be strictly a mustard and relish user on hotdogs. Then last summer
I visited the Czech Republic and weirded out when I saw people eating dogs
with catsup. I tried it and loved it. Now I eat it both ways (but do not mix
the two). Now if you want to hear weird, come to Berkeley, CA, go to Saul's
Deli, and wait for the Hispanic sandwich maker to ask you if you want mayo on
your corned beef on rye. That is weird!

Hot dogs exist solely as a vehicle for sauerkraut and mustard.

Quite like Icelandic hot dogs....sweet mustard, ketchup,
mayonnaise, chopped raw onions and crisp-fried onions...some
places use a type of pickle relish as well.

Usually mustard and onions, add sauerkraut if they have it. Hot sauce
is a nice addition as well.

Put them under the broiler until they start to blister, then split 'em
open lengthwise, fill with sweet relish, top the split with Velveeta,
and broil until the cheese starts to brown.

Ketchup, yellow mustard, and lots of chopped onions. Also
good with just chili and cheese.

For those of you familiar with Pink's (Famous LA hot dog
stand), ever had a Guadualajara dog there? Named after a
region of Mexico and concocted by some of the Mexican
workers it has become a menu item. Their standard dog with
sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes if I recall correctly. Kind
of a mix between a taco and a hot dog.

For a corn dog, French's mustard only.

For a dog on a bun, mustard, ketchup, sweet relish at the very least.
Add fresh onions and tomato wedges for the very best.

this is a pretty good start,. but to make them REALLY good, what you do, is
wrap bacon around them , then broil them , yes , you still have the cheese or
velveeta, it acrually makes a big gummy, yummy mess. Rosie

Hey, that was haute cuisine when I was seven. I think my mom got the
recipe from the, "Two Jobs, Two Kids, Cookbook". Or was it, "The
Deadbeat Dad Delete-a-Meal Diet", cookbook. Yes, and she would par-boil
them puppies and use the broth for a reduction sauce with just a touch
of lemon kool-aid which added piquancy to set off the sweetness of the
Heinz ketchup. I remember the first time I had Kraft Macaroni and
Cheese. I couldn't wait till I was rich!

Hot peppers, onions, mustard, sauerkraut, relish, chili, cheese, mayo,
quacamole, taco sauce, lettuce, and other stuff I'm sure I'll remember
later. Usually the chili with the cheese or the quacamole, taco sauce
and lettuce or the other things together. However now and again I
like the chili and cheese with the taco sauce, hot peppers, and
onions. To die for. Kosher dog or Polish sausage(foot-long)
preferred.

It's becoming increasingly apparent that many of you are ... how should
I put this ... unbalanced.

Anyone over the age of 2 days knows ... brown mustard and sweet relish.

Sorry I had to explain it to you. But now you know.

Easy Franks & Beans

1 pound natural casing franks or knockwursts
2 cans Heinz vegetarian beans

Place both ingredients in casserole and bake uncovered for 45 minutes at 375°
F.
Serve franks on buns with brown mustard, accompanied by beans on the side.

Or get fancy...

CHOUCROUTE AU CHAMPAGNE
Choucroute is traditionally cooked in champagne but if you wish to be more
economical you can cook it in white wine and add a split or two of champagne at
the table.

Salt pork slices
2 to 3 onions, sliced
Several cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
4 to 5 pounds sauerkraut
Large piece salt pork
Freshly ground black pepper
Champagne (white wine may be substituted
Smoked pork loin, bratwurst,vaurenwurst, knockwurst, or frankfurters

Line a deep kettle with slices of salt pork, add the sliced onions and chopped
garlic. Put the sauerkraut on top with a large piece of salt pork and grind
plenty of pepper over it. Add just enough champagne or white wine to cover the
sauerkraut. Simmer on top of the stove or in a 300°F oven for 4 to 6 hours. The
longer it cooks, the better it will be.

Smoked pork loin is a natural accompaniment for choucroute. Roast it for 10 to
15 minutes per pound or until thoroughly heated through. Bratwurst,
vaurenwurst, knockwurst, and good well seasoned frankfurters are also tasty
additions. Use any or all these meats. To serve, heap the choucroute in the
middle of a platter and arrange slices of meat around it.

If the sauerkraut was cooked in white wine, place half a bottle or two splits
of champagne in the center of the sauerkraut. At the table, give the bottle a
good shake and remove corks so the champagne gushes out over the sauerkraut.
Serve with plain boiled potatoes. With this, drink champagne or Riesling.

Serves 6 to 8.

Tomatoes on hotdogs is a combination I never heard of. I am a fan of both
tomatoes and hotdogs so I might give it a try if the ocassion arrises. For
me, there is only one condiment of choice on a hotdog ... Heinz Ketchup.

What you just described is known as a "Texas Tommy" in my area, Philadelphia.
I like it just with bacon and american cheese on the dog (or surrounding it)
and plenty of Heinz Ketchup. I almost forgot though, I used to make a
Texas Tommy the way you described, but serve it slathered with baked
beans and ketchup. Yum! ... and very sloppy!

What's so weird about it? I always eat ketchup, relish,
and onions on my hotdogs - that is, when I'm not eating them
with sauerkraut. Actually I recently began adding ketchup
to the krautdogs as well. Now that's weird, right?

And what the hell's wrong with mayo on corned beef ?
Although it should be on white not rye. But maybe that's
what the problem is - mayo doesn't go with rye? :-)
Well, actually, as far as I'm concerned - nothing goes
with rye! ;-) Anyway, I love a nice corned beef on white
(preferably a nice crusty, chewy Italian-style bread) with
lots of mayo. Lettuce and tomato are nice and onion,
too.

I don't eat hot dogs very often anymore...though I do occasionally get an
odd craving :)
When I was a kid, it was strictly ketchup and mustard for me. Sometimes,
that's still the answer, provided the ketchup is Heinz. (No, before you ask,
I'm not related to Stan...just find Hunt's to be wayyyy too sweet.) More
often, though, I like to top mine with chili. No beans, preferably. Maybe
some cheese.
My husband eats a concoction he aptly named a "Mess Dog". How he manages to
digest it is beyond me! <laugh> It's a hot dog topped with chili, cheese,
mustard, sauerkraut, and onions. I'd be up every night for a week!

It's obvious, from your recipe, that your idea of corned beef is that
artificially flavored pressed mystery meat.

Doesn't sound weird to me. How else would you eat it? :-)

A few years ago I was down in southern California and had lunch with one
of the guys I work with a couple of times. It was a cheapo campus
cafeteria down in the basement. Both times he had a hot dog. He put a
couple of packets of mayo on it, nothing else. It looked pretty good.

Sometimes you'll run into a "sauce" made with mayo and ketchup, or mayo
and mustard (with onion, pickles and/or other stuff). I like that on my
hot dogs also. Our usual at home is made with mayo, yellow mustard and
chopped onions and dill pickle. My family always called it "goop".

My oldest sister does this. My parents tried beating
her but she continued to do it.

When I was stationed at Osan AB in Korea I once saw
some ROKAF officers putting mayonnaise on a pizza.

The judge released me citing justifiable homicide.

The imoportant thing is, I think, that it is messy and sloppy, it add to the
enjoyment.. the mess all dripping down your chin, etc. Haven't tried the baked
beans but it sounds like a good addition.Rosie

That's similar to how they are served here. With the addition of a
pickle or a cucumber slice, sport peppers, and of course my favorite,
celery salt.

I am a huge fan of onions cooked in a spicy tomatoey sauce and deli
mustard (_HAS_ to be deli mustard).

Barring that, kraut and deli mustard (warm kraut).

Incidentally, I prefer my hot dogs to be grilled, with a crisp outer
skin, as opposed to boiled or steamed. Jewish Deli Hot Dogs (All-Beef

How about you guys?

Also, I've been to several delis here in DC which grill their hot dogs,
but wrap them in a slice of bologna. I'm not a huge fan of that.

Anyone know the origin of this, and anyone as dissatisfied with this
method of cooking as I am?

Sounds like the oldtimer reminiscing about his experiences during the
London blitz as retold on a PBS special on the Air War Over Britain the
other night. He was a young fireman and when he went off to duty in
London, his mum packed him a meal of lard sandwiches. ...blehh! Is

I'm not from Chicago, but I can tell Chicagoans have good taste in hot
dogs. Here in the SF bay area there's a small local chain of hot dog
joints called Dandy Dogs. Eating there was the first time I had a hot
dog with everything. Love 'em! Maybe the owner of the chain grew up in
Chicago.

It's schmaltz and it can be found in restaurants and elsewhere in nearly
every other German region, too. It can be pork or goose fat, with
grieben often enough.

I don't. Schmaltz is good for you!(TM)

And it's just as common elsewhere in Germany. I could never get the

What is brown mustard?

In Australia (where hot dogs are not the big deal they appear to be in the
USA)
tomato sauce (ketchup), is pretty well standard, as it is on meat pies.

What you do with a pie - especially if you're outdoors and eating it out of
your hand - is you use one of those dispensers with the long pointy squirter
and insert the sauce under the crust. That way you don't run the risk of
getting sauce on your hand.

He might have. It seems people like to take a regional specialty and
introduce it to another area. There a place here called "portillo's".
He started out in the 60's selling dogs out of a trailer, now he's got
huge stores all over the city and suburbs and I read he started in
Japan a few years ago. The ones around here are hard to get a seat at

I used to be a "mustard goes on a hotdog, ketchup goes on a hamburger" person.

But I have a friend who is the female version of Stan Horwitz (Stan, you know
how I feel about you, don't you!? Said with affection, not sarcasm!). And she
has influenced my eating habits. While I will never put ketchup on a Boars Head
turkey sandwich, like Jody does, (not that there's anything wrong with ketchup
on turkey, it's just not my taste). I am finding it more acceptible on foods
other than burgers and fries.

Like hot dogs. It's GOOD!

As I get older, I find i have trouble eating mustard....it repeats on me.
Ketchup doesn't. Ketchup is just yummy on my tongue, and in my tummy. So....i
now use ketchup on hot dogs.

Oh, Stan...ShopRIte near me had a 64 ounce keg o Heinz for 99 cents yesterday!
I shoulda bought 2--but I already have a spare bottle of "psst over here" from
a certain Jersey Shore buddy (you know who you are).

I like ketchup on beef things...not poultry.

I was craving sweet and sour meatballs the other day, didn't have any chili
sauce, subbed ketchup and it was ok...not as good as chili sauce, but good
enough for a last minute thing.

And I had something with ketchup last Friday night at the ballpark that knocked
my socks off. (No, Nancy, Ilene, Barb, I'm talking about FOOD!!!!!) They make
very good french fries....I believe they are McCains brand..the ones with the
skin on the ends, might have some type of coating..they are slightly seasoned,
not very salty and really, really crisp. My friend's daughter had gotten those
fries with the "cheese" sauce from the nachos...slightly hot, but not TOO hot,
and tons of Heinz ketchup. I tasted them and YOWZA! Home run in my book! The
combo of "cheese" and ketchup...and the crispy fried potatoes...oh my-- ketchup
and fake cheese...what could be better? :-)

Pretty much not yellow. Mustard color. No big deal, I was just teasing
the other hot dog topping opinions. Obviously, anyone can put anything
they want on their hotdog. Even chili sauce and grape jelly (laugh).

Would you mind describing meat pies? I'm sure they are delicious, but
the idea of squirting ketchup into my idea of a meat pie is out of the
question.

Back to hotdogs, I occasionally pick up a bunch from the local butcher.
Either skinless or natural casings. They make them there. They are
excellent. I just do not want to know what goes into them. I don't
eat many hotdogs, but they keep well in the freezer.

No, I buy the best "Jewish deli" corned beef from

You must be thinking of your own aritificially flavored

Well, really, what's the difference between yellow mustard and brown
mustard. Yellow mustard has turmeric added, which is what makes it
yellow. The basic mustard isn't necessarily different. In practice, in
the US, yellow mustard is made less spicy than most brown mustard. It's
not the mustard, it's the food coloring!

There is a difference. Theoretically they're made from different types of
mustard seed, brown from brown seeds and yellow from yellow [white] seeds. In
practice though, most mustards are made from a combination of the two, the
sharper tasting mustards incorporate more of the brown seeds. The bright
yellow, even if made soley from yellow seeds would still need color added,
usually tumeric, because otherwise, yellow mustard seeds on their own would
actually produce a pale grey-brown (taupe) product. The hot oriental style
mustard uses brown mustard seeds of a particular variety. The seasonings added
to make each mustard unique is endless... there are probably more mustard
recipes than there are types of wines.

Personally I prefer Deli-Style mustards on hotdogs; made from a combination of
seeds. Making your own mustards is a fun thing to do.

ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA

mustard

any of several herbs belonging to the mustard family of plants, Brassicaceae
(Cruciferae), or the condiment made from these plants' pungent seeds. The
leaves and swollen leaf stems of mustard plants are also used, as greens, or
potherbs. The principal types are white, or yellow, mustard (Sinapis alba), a
plant of Mediterranean origin; and brown, or Indian, mustard (Brassica juncea),
which is of Himalayan origin. The latter species has almost entirely replaced
the formerly used black mustard (Brassica nigra), which was unsuitable for
mechanized cropping and which now occurs mainly as an introduced weed. Both
white and brown mustard are grown as spring-sown annual crops whose dry seeds
are harvested in early autumn. From very small seedlings, the plants grow
rapidly and enter a phase of dense flowering; the blooms have an intense yellow
colour. The plants reach their full height of 1.5 to 2 m (5 to 61/2 feet) as
their flowers fade and after numerous green seedpods appear on their branches.
The pods of brown mustard contain up to 20 seeds each, those of white mustard
contain up to 8 seeds. Mustard plants are easy and inexpensive to grow; they
flourish on many different types of soil, suffer from unusually few insect
pests or plant diseases, and tolerate extremes of weather without serious harm.

The use of mustard seeds as a spice has been known from the earliest recorded
times and is described in Indian and Sumerian texts dating back to 3000 BC.
Mustard plants are mentioned frequently in Greek and Roman writings and in the
Bible. In the New Testament, the tiny mustard seed is a symbol of faith.
Mustard seed was used medicinally by Hippocrates, among other ancient
physicians. During the 20th century, the use of mustard as a spice or condiment
has grown to the extent that it is by far the largest spice by volume in world
trade. Mustard is unusual among spices in that it is mainly grown in the
temperate regions of the world, principally on the Canadian and American Great
Plains, in Hungary and in Britain, and in lesser amounts in other countries. In
the main producing countries, the crop production of mustard is fully
mechanized.

Mustard seeds, both white and brown, are nearly globular in shape, finely
pitted, odourless when whole, and pungent-tasting. White mustard seeds are
light yellow in colour and about 2.5 mm (1/10 inch) in diameter; brown mustard
seeds are about the same size but are a darker yellow in colour. The seeds of
both types contain similar constituents: about 30 to 40 percent vegetable oil,
a slightly smaller proportion of protein, and a strong enzyme called myrosin.
When dry or when ground into a flour, the seeds are odourless, but when the
seed is chewed or when the flour is mixed with water, a chemical reaction
between two of the constituents within mustard, an enzyme and a glucoside,
produces an oil that is not present as such in the plant. In brown mustard this
action yields the volatile oil of mustard, which has a pungent, irritating
odour and an acrid taste. In white mustard the result is sinalbin mustard oil,
a nonvolatile oil that has very little odour but produces a sensation of heat
on the tongue.

As a condiment, mustard is sold in three forms: as seeds, as dry powder that is
freshly mixed with water for each serving to obtain the most aroma and flavour,
and prepared as a paste with other spices or herbs, vinegar or wine, and starch
or flour to tone down the sharpness. The differing flavours of white and brown
mustard are used in different condiments; the pungent brown is used in
French-type paste mustards, and the white is used in milder American- or
German-type pastes, while both types are used in English mustard products.
Mustard is widely used as a condiment with various foods, particularly cold
meats, sausages, and salad dressings. It is also used as an ingredient in
mayonnaises, sauces, and pickles. Mustard plasters were formerly used in
medicine for their counterirritant properties in treating chest colds and other
ailments.

Brown mustard, which is related to rapeseed, is grown as a source of vegetable
oil and is an important crop for this purpose in northern India, Pakistan,
China, southern Russia, and Kazakstan. The oil is used for food or for
industrial purposes, with the residual cake used for animal feed.

For sure.... there is a great article about mustard in the June, 2000
Smithsonian..... "For the Love of Mustard." In the article it is noted "At
the Mount Horeb Mustard Museum, home to 3,400 types of the condiment.... Five
hundred kinds of mustard are offered for sale here."

An Auusie pie is either oval or round. In old measurements it would be maybe
a couple of inches deep and about 4 inches diameter. About the size of a
hamburger bun, I suppose you could say.

The structure is a coffin, as they used to say in the olden days, of really
firm pastry. The top crust will be flakier. The filling is mince meat in a
glutinous sauce.

The flavour (basically bland and salty and only incidentally tasting of
meat) seems to be fairly uniform, though many people will swear by the
product of their local bakery - certainly the mass-produced products are
nothing sensational. By law there has to be SOME meat in it, but like hot
dogs you really don't ask which bits of the cow it comes from. Anybody of
Scottish extraction only has to think of traditional mince and they've got
the picture.

Needless to say pies are loaded with salt and saturated fat and are
dreadfully bad for you!

Nowadays you can get all sorts of "gourmet" pies containing stuff like
chicken, or beef (cubed not minced) and costing heaps. These delicacies are,
however, not true pies.

In Adelaide they have a most disgusting dish called a pie floater, the
origins of which are lost in antiquity. This is a hot pie sitting in a bowl
of pea soup. It never really caught on in the other states, but people like
to threaten overseas visitors with it, just to see the looks on their faces.

Geez! There are 500 kinds of mustard for sale there? Talk about
indecisive! I suggest that you mustard fans just eat Heinz ketchup if you
want to simplify your lives and give your taste buds a treat. Heinz
Ketchup tastes great, its simple (no huge selection to chose from), and
very healthy (lots of antioxidents). :)

I tried Nathan's original in Coney Island for the first time just one week
ago. Nathan's hotdogs were good, but no where near as good as the grilled
Sabbratt's that one can buy from sidewalk food carts in Manhattan. I
haven't tried a hotdog from Gray's Papaya yet, but one of these days, I
will. In fact, I had to turn down a free trip to NYC today to attend the
MacWorld Expo because I have to teach tonight. Bummer! Maybe I will go up
there on Sunday and bum around.

The lard sandwiches were part of staying alive...Americans
didn't suffer during the war the way Europeans did and
starvation was always a distinct possibility. Then as now
lard was very cheap.

Boiled bacon is a form of ham...it isn't the 'streaky' bacon
that seems to be the only cut available in the US, apart
from 'Canadian-style'. There are several other cuts of bacon
available in the UK in addition to streaky, which is the
cheapest.

It is offered as part of a fantastic meal, such as I had in
Cork...soup, boiled bacon, cabbage, potatoes, peas and
Irish-style apple pie with cream (and ice cream if I'd
wanted it) plus tea that was beginning to take the glaze off
the mug. Total weight of food must have been well over a
kilo...for a grand sum of about 3 Irish punts...less than
USD5.00 at the time...three years ago.

It's also what is served for St Patrick's day, rather than
American corned beef.

While not a fan of hotdogs, I have been around too many packing plants, I am
a fan of mustard. Please try Inglehoffer. It comes in a small globular jar
and has a small percentage of whole seeds to add crunch.

Just ketchup.

Although BBQ sauce is similar, I find the hot dog-bbq combo revolting.

I don't like mustard, relish, onions, saurkraut or nacho cheese alone

I used to like hot dogs with mustard, onions, and sweet relish.
Occasionally with chili (no beans), mustard, and onions, maybe
cheese sauce. Since I married my SO, and he likes ketchup on
his, I have tried it and liked it! Mustard and ketchup, onions
and relish. Though with chili, just the mustard and onions.
Only Heinz ketchup in this household, by the way. I hate to go
to a restaurant and they don't have Heinz. I like sauerkraut,
but not on a hot dog! Never would think to put tomatoes or
cucumber slices on a hot dog, either. My favorite "Hot Dog
Place" is James Coney Island. Original Coney, with chili,
cheese, and onions. And no mayo in my house!! Only Miracle
Whip, but never on a hot dog or sausage and bun. That's just
gross! To each his own...

Dear Stan,
Between you and Jody (my dear friend who did her MBA in Marketing final project
on Heinz, because she was born in Pittsburgh and eats Heinz ketchup on almost
everything!), you guys are slowly but surely having an influence!

I gotta tell ya. I always loved ketchup. With fries, with burgers, with
EGGS!!!! My very favorite breakfast in the world is a scrambled egg with melted
american cheese, a few slices of bacon, and TONS of ketchup! If it doesn't have
ketchup, I don't want the sandwich. The ketchup is an integral part of the
enjoyment of the sandwich.

I've also ALWAYS, since i was little, put ketchup in my meatloaf mixture....and
ALWAYS have a cold meatloaf sandwich the next day, on squishy white or potato
bread, and a good slathering of Heinz! Again, it's as much about the ketchup
as anything else.

Kosher bologna and ketchup was (actually, Heinz hamburger relish..no other
brand) always a fav of mine, growing up, too.

And yeah, I've been going to a lot of baseball games lately, and eating a lot
of hot dogs, and I put KETCHUP on them, not mustard. And ketchup on the fries.
TONS of ketchup.

Ketchup RULEs!!!

I love a good chili dog myself if its a lower quality weenie. Otherwise,

Recognizing that a hot dog can be made as junk food:

My favorite is mustard on the bun, topped with Wolf chili, topped with
diced onion and topped with a good sliced American cheese or colbyjack
cheese.


Now, recognizing that a hot dog can also be something more than junk
food:

Bun, mayonnaise, some of those good Vlasic pickles from the grocer's
cooler, tomato, green pepper, cucumber, pickled green chilis and onions.
I had something like that at a mall once. It was great. It was a
Chicago Classic or something. I might not have the ingredients quite
right, but it's close.

Exactly what is "corned beef" anyway? I've always wondered after I saw
Samantha on _Bewitched_ pigging out on a corned beef sandwich. To me it
just sounds nasty by the name and by what the name implies -- ground
beef that's mish mashed with cream-style corn and god only knows what
else. Please clear this up for me so I can put my mind to rest.

My dad puts Thousand Island dressing on his pizza. I thought that was
nasty. However, chicken fajita pizza dipped in Ranch dressing isn't bad
at all. But then Ranch and Thousand Island are worlds apart in flavor.

The only time I ever like nothing but mustard on a hot dog is when I'm
around a campfire. I like to make my weenie cancerous -- burn it to get
those black, carcinogenic chars on there that make it taste so good.
Then wrap it diagonally in a piece of white slice-bread, squirt a line
of mustard down it and enjoy. Man, makes me want to go roast a weenie
over the stove. :-D

For me, ketchup is simply too tangy. On hamburgers I prefer mayonnaise.
On ham sandwiches I prefer Miracle Whip™. On hot dogs and corn dogs, I
prefer mustard. I can tolerate ketchup with french fries, but I like
other things a little better, though ketchup isn't so bad with that that
I cant' eat it at all. Now, this might surprise you, but I DO like
fried mozzarella sticks dipped in ketchup. That is delectable. I like
that more than dipping them in marinara sauce. :-)

That's the scariest thing for me about hot dogs. The idea that I might

I could down that easily, minus the sauerkraut, as it's my favorite

Corned Beef is a beef brisket which has been left in a brine solution
with certain seasonings for flavor. After the beef is corned, it is
then cooked; either boiled, in a crockpot, or in a pressure cooker. A
recipe for "corning" the beef follows:

4 quarts water
1 1/2 pounds kosher salt
1 pound dark brown sugar
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 sprig thyme
10 juniper berries
10 crushed peppercorns
1 tablespoon baking soda
4 gallons boiling water
1 egg, in shell
Salt, if needed
Cold water to cover meat
1 (5 pound) beef brisket
5 cloves garlic

Bring first 9 ingredients up to the peppercorns to a boil and boil
hard for 5 minutes. Leave the brine to cool. Clean a stoneware crock
or plastic bucket and its lid with a solution of 1 tablespoon baking
soda to 1 gallon boiling water. Rinse well and leave to drain dry. To
test the saltiness of the brine put egg, in shell in the cooled brine.
If it doesn’t float, add enough salt until it does. To help the brine
penetrate, pierce the beef all over with a trussing needle or skewer
and place meat in cold water for about 45 minutes. Remove the meat
from water and place in crock or bucket. Pour the cooled brine over
the brisket. Add garlic to the brine. Place a plate on top of the
brisket to submerge. Place a lid or plastic wrap over container. Store
in a refrigerator or dry place, at a temperature below 60 degrees.
Salting time depends on the thickness of the meat. Allow 3 to 10 days
for salting time for brisket.

I would suggest Kosher hot dogs. No Pork. Plus, they have to
prepared using the Jewish sanitary laws.

Corned beef does not necessarily entail brisket; corned beef can entail any cut
of beef. 'Corned' beef simply means 'pickled' beef. There is far more 'beef
round' used for corned beef than brisket.

Please explain, that egg, is it raw or cooked and for what purpose?

If you had read the entire recipe, you would have noted that it is a
raw egg in its shell. It is used to test the saltiness of the brine.
If the egg doesn't float, more salt needs to be added until the egg
sinks.

Just last night when I was catching up on my newspaper reading, I found a
recipe for meatloaf in the food section. This recipe uses half a cup of
ketchup and then requires some tomato sauce to be spread on the top of the
loaf as its cooked. I haven't made a meatloaf in several years so I think
I am going to try this one in a couple of days, but use ground chicken or
turkey in place of some of the red meat in order to cut down on the fat
content. I am stuck at work all day today, but just the thought of eating
a tasty meatloaf which uses lots of ketchup in the recipe is making me
very hungry!

Long live Heinz Ketchup!

Yich! If you're concerned about the quality of meat in hotdogs, there's
an easy way to address that issue. Eat Kosher hotdogs. The folks who make
Kosher hotdogs have to answer to a higher authority ... Hebrew National
makes great Kosher dogs. Even their low fat dogs are tasty.

By the way, I just read a newspaper article about hotdogs in the newspaper
last night. Several web sites about hotdogs were cited. One of them is
http://www.hot-dogs.org/ which looks pretty interesting. This is the
official web site for the hotdog and sausage making industry! Who new that
hotdogs have their own web site? :) Anyway, this web site has lots of
information about hotdogs, including some sausage and hotdog recipes so
you might want to check it out.

So, if a woman prefers carrots, cukes and zukes instead of real meat does that
mean she's a vegetarian?

Thanks. Btw, I stopped reading your recipe midway for the same reason
demonstrated by your above response, *gross inaccuracies*. Firstly not all
eggs are equal as to floatibility and secondly adding more salt to water
increases it's bouyancy, therefore causing eggs to *float*, not sink. Most
folks who know anything about cooking would be aware that fresh/seviceable eggs
do not float in plain water, therefore your suggestion is, besides being
inaccurate, also inane... what are we being directed to do, begin by choosing
rotten eggs/floaters?!?!?

I would urge anyone contemplating preparing corned beef or doing any other
pickling to invest in a salinometer/hydrometer, a basic unit suitable for home
use generally costs little more than a couple-three dozen eggs, available at
any pet store selling saltwater aquarium supplies- pets.com sells hydrometers
starting at $3- to $10. Why risk wasting your time and efforts, not to mention
ingredients, with such a fercocktah notion as measuring salinity with chicken
eggs... now I believe I've heard it all. Ahahahahahaha. . . .

Stan,

Are you sure about that link? I get an "unable to locate...no DNS
entry" message when I try it. I even tried it with ".com", same
result. :(

Ketchup is for french fries and onion rings :)

Mayo and creamy cole slaw are for hot dogs!!!

There are only two kinds of hot dogs: the Slaw dog and
the cheese/chili/chopped onion dog

(now, now, be nice; but if you can't, I've got asbestos undies)

:)

Oops. Sorry about that. I typed the URL slightly wrong. The correct URL is
http://www.hot-dog.org/

Good Website. Btw, according to hot-dog.org it's only permissable to eat hot
dogs with ketchup by children, those under 18 years. Mature adults do not put
ketchup on a hot-dog.

I am indeed an adult, but I am a child at heart! :) I guess that's why I
still love riding on wild roller coasters, playing video games at my
favorite arcade in Wildwood, and Heinz ketchup!

I'm sure you've heard of measuring brine salinity with a *fresh* chicken
egg; that's how the oldtimers did it back in the bad-old-days before
hydrometers were readily available. Debbie's recipe got it right; you
add salt until the egg floats -- not sinks. (She screwed up in her
reply to you, explaining it off the top of her head instead of referring
back to the recipe.) It is a grossly inaccurate test, but that's all
they had back then. Someone trying to follow the old recipe today
should use a more precise salinometer, as you crudely but accurately
suggested.

Best regards,
Bob

They are very popular south of the Mason-Dixon line.

If she's a vagetarian, more power (D cells?) to her.
