I think you've got the wrong question. It should be "Why do you eat hot dogs?"
EDIT: I'd agree on the mustard if you're talking about that solid yellow, plasticy stuff. That stuff is like mustard for people who don't want to actually taste mustard.
I can't eat them if they're overcooked (where they get all wrinkly). I usually stick to all-beef Hebrew National or somesuch.
Ah yes, the "Missionary" dog.
Agreed. Brown, spicy mustard is glorious. That yellow stuff makes me throw up.
Yes, that's what I'm talking about. When I was in elementary school my best friend would put so much mustard on his food it looked like cheese. Made me wretch.
That isn't to say you can't get sick from other kinds of pathogens. I'm just pointing that that isn't how one would get botulism in their food.
Wouldn't it also be a major hassle if your children die because of bad milk?
I think if it goes bad, he doesn't give it to the children. God knows the little buggers drink enough of it.
edit, pardon me, Sherborn.
I've read that that style of mustard was pioneered by industrious Americans who realized they weren't selling much volume of the mustard that actually tasted like something because you only needed a dab, so they ground it down so fine you needed 13 pounds of it on your sausage.
Not really, if it happened post-apocalypse I figure I could dispose of the bodies without much trouble.
Seriously, did you miss the part where I kept the milk in coolers? I didn't mention the ice that was also in the coolers, but I sort of figured that would be assumed.
I'll give that a third-- I love mustard but won't touch the yellow stuff except in extreme emergencies...
I don't put ketchup on stuff unless it's mixed in a 1/2 to 1/2 ratio with Tabasco. Heinz saw my demographic a few years ago and tried to make a ketchup/Tabasco hybrid, but it was way, way too weak.
I do put ketchup on hot dogs, unless they're really good ones, but the hot dogs I normally get are of the Oscar Meyer ilk.
At fifty bucks a bag, I'm not assuming anything.
Ice in a cooler you say? Well, gee golly, you got nothing to worry about then.
Well I'll never know that, because I'll never be able to try it. Milk? Sitting on a shelf? I'd rather be maimed.
I sent the first 40 percent (so far) of my life in rural ####### Arkansas, & most of what Lisa listed never happened to me.
Which surely tells you that you're insanely wrong on this point.
I am in both groups, but fortunately have no children for you to take.
What the hell is wrong with you? You think milk is going to spoil at 32 degrees in a couple of days?
Bernal is correct here. In general I prefer spicy brown, but not with chili involved.
Of late, I've been topping my hot dogs with pickled green tomatoes. Heavenly.
Say it ain't so.
Thank god. All we can hope is that is your crimes against food die with you.
(Wasn't raised on anything fancier than hamburger & for that reason, I guess, never developed any real taste for steak & the like.)
American History Museum, right by the main Constitution Avenue entrance. And yeah, the Bicentennial was pretty damn good for vendors.
No onions. Always naked, the way God intended it (it's in the Bible somewhere).
Might be the 12 years of Catholic school talking, but I don't use condiments.
Steak? Medium well, or well done prime rib. End cut? Sure, why not?
No kids for anyone to take (good thing for me, it seems).
I prefer highballs, fast and tight.
I've found sriracha overrated and largely used to make really crappy food edible rather than improving already good food when it comes to the hedonics of gustation. It's certainly got a place in anyone's fridge if they're ever to make ramen or something like that.
edit: Also, man. Some of y'all need to have good steak sometime if you think steak sauce is better than the steak. And cooking it beyond medium is always a crime against God. If God wanted his steak well done, he'd have accepted Cain's burnt offering instead of sending Cain off to kill Abel for overcooking the lamb.
Well, actually it can spoil at that temperature but no that is not what I am thinking. I'm thinking milk is extremely perishable, children have weak immune systems, power off-water not running leads to a dirty environment, and a cooler full of ice not the most trustworthy thing. There are probably a million different liquids you can give your kids that will not make them sick during this emergency. Milk isn't one of them. But if that is the risk you want to take with your children then knock yourself out.
Not according to your article.
I don't care how you dress (or don't) when you're dining, but what about when you're at a restaurant?
Criminy. I, like millions of Americans, go camping in the woods ( a dirty environment), and bring coolers with, among other things, milk, where it is consumed over the course of a long weekend. I've never heard about a milk induced epidemic of sick children.
it is my condiment of choice. i put it on almost everything. everytime i drive from LA to palm springs i say a silent prayer of thanks for sriracha when i drive through rosemead.
i put a little ketchup on my dodger dogs when i'm at a game. i guess that makes me one of history's greatest monsters.
Really? As far as food borne illnesses and epidemics go they are pretty common.
It's because the media is too busy hyping hurricanes and causing non-Pareto optimal resource distribution!
I like this one:
how many batteries did she buy? 48 double-A batteries!
So on the surface she appears to be an idiot, since she's got one flashlight and nothing else that uses batteries.
Of course, my anecdotal experience tells me that AA batteries are consumed at a rate of n/t-1, where n = the number of AA batteries on hand and t = the amount of time before I'm likely to remember to buy more. So there's that.
Not according to your article.
What are you even talking about?
And by "little harm," she means one of the costliest hurricanes in recorded history, preliminary estimate at $3 billion but that's probably low - who cares, though about people not worthy of living in Manhattan?
Does it factor in the cost of people buying up all of Ray's bread?
Yeah, she's clearly stupid:
1) Why does she need a fleshlight? 2) If the fleshlight was to be passed around to the penis-endowed attendees of her party (eww...), they probably couldn't get more than 7-10 uses each out of it during the sleepover, and 48 AA batteries should cover that easily, 3) I don't think a fleshlight even uses batteries.
Oh, flashlight.
Americans complaining about something proves nothing more than that something happened. (If even that.)
It might be good, though. One thing I love on hotdogs is that lethal habañero sauce that comes in the little glass bottles with the amusing names.
Not according to your article.
What are you even talking about?
Washington Post June of 1976. The article you mentioned is about how vendors were doing crappy business.
I'm not sure what article you're referring to, but the one I was alluding to was a "Try It" article by Phyllis Richman in the Post's Potomac magazine, which was solely about our film vending stand, and unless I'm mistaken, didn't say anything about business conditions in general. But trust me, it would have been a rare Mall vendor during the Bicentennial who wasn't doing a great business, since all the spots were assigned by lottery from Memorial Day to the first Sunday in October, and the cops chased out any unlicensed competitors.
I guaranty you she has at least one remote control that takes AA batteries.
Thanks for your concern, though.

I'm in a condo in a complex that is fenced off from the "real part of town," and we got no damage other than the 6-hour blackout. But most of the towns in these parts have more rowboats than bicycles on the main streets these days.
She uses the other end.
FYI Andy, I recently talked to a friend/colleague of Phyllis's and she's still plugging along relatively well despite some sort of degenerative condition. I mean, sad to hear she's not in perfect health, but considering everything, it was still decent news, I'd say.
Evian sucks. It tastes like the distilled water from high school science class might have tasted, had anyone tasted it.
If "price gouging" is economically irrational, why is there a need to have laws against it?
And why did the Brooklyn hotel I linked to do it?
I would think a libertarian would appreciate that just because there IS a law against something doesn't mean that there NEEDS to be a law against it.
Nothing, of course. Not ketchup, not mustard, not relish. When will you people learn to enjoy the taste of the actual food you're eating?
(Same for burgers: just cheese and the burger and the bun. And no mayo on sandwiches; just ham and cheese.)
I must have missed where he defined it as or even used the word irrational. Can you point it out?
I would've thought this was obvious. I admit, I don't "stock up" on milk because I'm paranoid about the expiration dates and whatnot anyway, but as paranoid as I am I don't think I'd be worried about milk stored in a cooler with ice. I'm reasonably certain my fridge is above freezing temperature.
Well, except for that one spot on the back of the top shelf which always seems to freeze water/soda/cheese/you name it. Stupid Kenmore.
Putting aside the question of whether there should be such a law (IMO there probably shouldn't be, but I can live with it). are you actually suggesting that if something is economically irrational it would never happen?
Market forces work in the aggregate, but not necessarily in specific cases.
I'm not sure I can even stay in the same thread as someone who thinks "Cheez Whiz" is actually food.
When I was a young lad, I loved my steaks rare, to the point where if a steak was cooked longer than your typical commercial break, it was probably cooked too long for my liking. As I became an adult, I began enjoying my steaks medium-rare. I'm currently at the point in my life where I can't eat and enjoy a steak unless it's medium.
I wonder if anyone else has experienced this phenomena, where the older you get, the more thoroughly your steaks need to be cooked.

Who are you responding to? We've been talking about NYC and Manhattan. So unless this photo was of the upper west side or something, I'm not seeing the relevance.
Ah, but what about paddle boats?!
Evian sucks. It tastes like the distilled water from high school science class might have tasted, had anyone tasted it.
It's slightly basic, which is a little off-putting. But, a ####-load better than European tap water.
We're spoiled in the U.S. (especially NY) in having very good tap water. Although, when I lived in Boston, the tap water was pretty crappy.
Nothing, of course. Not ketchup, not mustard, not relish. When will you people learn to enjoy the taste of the actual food you're eating?
(Same for burgers: just cheese and the burger and the bun. And no mayo on sandwiches; just ham and cheese.)
Philistine!
Burgers should be ketchup only; cheese on a burger is repellent. Do you put cheese on your steak?
Lettuce, tomato and mayo is OK if it's a thin, greasy, low quality patty that needs the help.
Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard is the appropriate hot dog topping.
But seriously guys, have you never the expression "De gustibus non est disputandum"?
My GF eats the stuff all the time - I don't get it either. For good mustard, in Northern CA we have Mendocino Mustard - a spicy/sweet concoction that is great. Perfect on a dog with onions, sweet relish, and a touch of ketchup.
What a ridiculous pronouncement. Do you put ketchup on your steak? Do you eat it between 2 slices of bread? Do you like all your beef products cooked to the same temperature? I like my burgers cooked medium, and topped with cheese and spicy mustard. I like my strip steaks medium rare and marinated in some combo of Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and steak sauce. I like my tenderloin rare and seasoned with butter, coarse sea salt, and black pepper. Variety is the spice of life, even for food products that come from the same animal.
Did you not see my last line, or is your sarcasm detector that broken?
FYI Andy, I recently talked to a friend/colleague of Phyllis's and she's still plugging along relatively well despite some sort of degenerative condition. I mean, sad to hear she's not in perfect health, but considering everything, it was still decent news, I'd say.
This is kind of third hand, Lassus, but tell your friend to relay my best. She knew me as Andy from Georgetown Book Shop who used to buy her review copies. Totally classy lady all the way.

...if you act like a ####### dog towards your customers just because they're at a temporary disadvantage, don't be surprised if you pick up a few fleas. Not everyone thinks that life should be nothing but a goddam auction.
If "price gouging" is economically irrational, why is there a need to have laws against it?
I'm sorry, Ray, but I must have missed where I said anything about any need for such laws. Is this one of your famous senior moments, or does your memory lapse merely stem from a temporary bread deficiency?
And why did the Brooklyn hotel I linked to do it?
Never saw the link, and I have no idea what you're talking about. Price gouging exists in the real world, and anyone with eyes can usually see when it's taking place, but the best way of dealing with it is by making loud and public note of it with specific facts to back the charge, and spreading the name of the offender so that he might think twice about it the next time.
And I don't know about the rest of the country, but I'll bet that our forward-looking New Yorkers are already hoarding their best insults for the next one.
"Who are you responding to?"
Um, I'm responding to the AP link just above mine that used the phrase "inflicted relatively little harm."
makes sense, no?
Well, my question is why it's bad, such that you'd want to tar and feather someone who did this. Increasing prices will stop the schmucks from stocking up on batteries they don't need (such as that woman McCoy linked to), and will mean that more people who DO need batteries will get them.
Plus, if enterprising individuals see a "gouging" opportunity, they will rush in to help in order to make money, such as by offering supplies to people at marked up prices. Is that so bad? Now supplies are available that wouldn't otherwise have been, because the "gougers" won't be around if they have to do it out of the goodness of their hearts. I know people who see gouging as Evil would rather fool themselves into believing that everyone should be doing Only Good Things That Help People, but at some point you might want to wake up and join the rest of us here in the real world. Gouging DOES help people.
Especially you, Andy -- someone who lived through the gas crisis of the '70s. Were those government-induced long lines for little gas really that much fun or productive? Having no memory of it I can't say. Maybe everyone was dancing on the hoods of their cars, singing, partying, having a grand old time waiting to get no gas because the government put a ceiling on the prices.
Are you Michael Kay?
Not if that woman has more money than you do.
You know, I haven't, but it sounds magnificent. I might try that next time.
A burger with nothing on it is ridiculous. Do you (Ray, not snapper) eat salad without dressing? P&J sandwich is just two slices of bread? Strange.
Here's a burger I had on Friday: Link
Um, no? I can honestly say I have not.
It's cute that you think you live in the real world...
Gouging DOES help people.
Your whole post is a massive logic fail.
Please stop your whining Ray, it's annoying. ##### b!tch ##### b!tch #####.
