ChefEdB ... I wrote that HN Hot Dogs claimed to be kosher based on this story: 

Hebrew National hot dogs not kosher, lawsuit claims - Yahoo! News

Now I have NO problemmo with Conagra because of what they do for Share Our Strength and Cooking Matters. I'm sure they will be OK.

WOW. Talk about a hyjack.               Sorry.

These are not frankfurters they are soyfurters.. withwater and sugar syrup which the soy holds in for added weight. I would not eat  or serve these. Maybe in a school lunch program is ok.

What are ur toppings Dan ?

 

Good to see you online,

Margaux.

   My preference is for an all beef hotdog.  I was always a big fan of Best's Kosher Hot Dogs, but they're no more.  I really don't think Hebrew National is a fitting replacement, Nathan's are okay...but not great.  I was really excited when I found the Boar's Head Beef franks, they were decent...better than Hebrew National...but not Best's better.  Pork dogs can be good too, but I do prefer all beef.

    Toppings?  Oh, anything but raw onions (stomach cannot go there).  If it's a good hotdog...plain is actually fine.  Sometimes just mustard...other times ketchup, mustard, hot pepper, tomato and a pickle or cucumber...with a shake of celery salt.

  HotDougs is decent too...but this is more of a sausage place than just a hotdog joint.   While they are good, I think he puts way too much of the toppings on his creations.  I usually scrap some of the toppings off and finish them alone.  I've gotta taste the sausage, first and foremost!

OK. This really cracked me up.  I'm in the local grocery store (major company), and in the end-cap of a cold meat cooler are hot-dogs on sale @ 99¢ / 1lb. pkg. They're big "claim" was "100% meat". That's it. It said "meat".   I looked at the package and so did the store guy. Nothing was specified, other than "meat". He offered to let me have a package, and get back to him.  I declined. 

Hey gonefishin ... I'm not arguing, just curious ... What's wrong, in your opinion, w/ Hebrew National hot-dogs?

    Hi IceMan!

   There is certainly nothing wrong with Hebrew National HotDogs, I just think Best's Kosher HotDogs had way more flavor...while keeping the grind, texture and overall flavor of a hotdog.

When HN was in Long Island City they were sued by a Rabbi as to not being Kosher> His claim was they used warm water instead of cold to wash the meat. It was thrown out of court(Oh yes the rabbi formally worked for HN and was fired because he never showed up for work)

My tastes run to kosher beef hot dogs. Though there's a local packer that makes a good frankfurter/knockwursty thing. That one's a mixture of meats. It's thicker, longer and has a casing.

My sister usually serves a turkey hot dog that's surprisingly good for just turkey and lower fat. Not sure on the brand of that one.

 Ya just can't beat that all beef flavor with just a hint of garlic. Then texture wise, when you bite into that natural casing...it's just a celestial delight!

 You'd sell millions, if done correctly!

* Make 'em slightly longer and wider than the traditional packaged hot dog.
