Strangest thing happened to me today. While I was cooking, a house across the street from mine exploded. Was quite bizarre. A few moments before, it was a house, the next, it was just a pile of rubble, with a very shocked home owner sitting in the car next to it. She had just put her dog inside and got into her car when her home just blew up.

Take a humorous look at a 50s promotional cookbook from a Worcestershire Sauce company, called 100 Ways to Be Original in All Your Cooking"... where every one of those 100 ways involves-- surprise!-- Worcestershire Sauce. These "creative" items include the "Meatloaf Train", "Hot Dog Crown," and other culinary catastrophes. It's a trip back in time

I cook home made dog treats for my pooch... now she is my willing slave!

You have a dog and you love him so much that you cannot refuse him anything including home cooked meals and long periods of rest. This sounds familiar, doesn't it? Many dog owners come to the vet complaining about this problem so that's why it's important to find more about it.

A hot dog is a type of fully-cooked, cured and/or smoked moist sausage of soft, even, texture and flavor. It is usually placed hot in a soft, sliced bun of approximately the same length as the sausage, and optionally garnished with condiments and toppings.The flavor of hot dog sausages varies widely by region and by personal preference, as do the toppings on the sandwich. The flavor of the sausage can resemble a range of similar meat products from bologna on the bland side to the German bockwurst in the spicier varieties.Hot dogs are traditionally made from beef, pork, or a combination. Kosher hot dogs are also available, usually all-beef. Unlike many other sausages (which may be sold cooked or uncooked), hot dogs are always cooked before being offered commercially. Unless they have spoiled, hot dogs may be eaten safely without further cooking, although they are usually warmed before serving. Vegetarian hot dogs and sausages, made from meat analogue, are also widely available in most areas where hot dogs are popular.Hot dogs are also called frankfurters, or franks for short, named for the city of Frankfurt, Germany where sausages in a bun originated (these are similar to the hot dog, but made exclusively of pork). Another term for hot dogs is wieners or weenies, referring to the city of Vienna, Austria, whose German name is "Wien" (those are made of a mixture of pork and beef). Hot dogs are sometimes derisively called tube steaks. In Australia, the term frankfurt is used rather than frankfurter. Tiny frankfurts, called cocktail franks or cheerios, are sometimes served at parties on the end of a toothpick. In the German speaking countries, except Austria, hot dog sausages are generally called Wiener or Wiener Würstchen (Würstchen means "little sausage"). In Swiss German, it is called Wienerli, while in Austria the terms Frankfurter or Frankfurter Würstel are used.In the United Kingdom hot dogs are sometimes made with British sausages. Most of the time they are sold and marketed as German or American-style hot dogs. However, a hot dog sausage is always precooked at the factory before packaging, which is generally not true of regional British sausages.
