I had one (curry wurst) when I was there a couple years ago. It was delicious! And they had squirt bottles of mayo out on the counter for those like me who use that on their french fries instead of ketchup (yech). I can take ketchup mixed in with something else that changes its flavor but don't like it just out of the bottle as a condiment.

Un-refrigerated mayo, Ms. Mod? For shame!!!

Perhaps. Does it go well with pun-kin pie?
Indeed, for those who keep a breast of the situation without having to stick their neck out....

I have to agree with DiO on this one.......there is no such thing as a good turkey dog......
....and no, those words did not taste good in my mouth.

Try putting some coleslaw on it...........:biggrin-new:

Are chilli-dogs a real thing or just a faux-US thing marketed in the UK.

If anyone ever visits Berlin (last time I went the Wall was still up) have a curry wurst. Like a hot dog but with ketchup mixed with curry powder on it. Very good from memory.
I've tasted "Wurst mit pikanter Currysauce" on 2011, but in Duesseldorf, not Berlin. It is still fancy, and the sausage... damn big!

I suspect my immune system has been built up from my growing up years when leaving food out on the table/counter much longer than nowadays wasn't a big deal. But now that you mention it, maybe they did put it out when they gave us our order. I don't remember having to ask for it and was thinking how nice it was not to be thought of as a weirdo for using mayo on french fries.:smile:

They have New York style dogs, Chicago style dogs, Kansas City style dogs, Atlanta style dogs, and Detroit style dogs. This should be the SKMB style hot dog... a Kayem Old Tyme Red Natural Casing Frank (made in Chelsea, MA), yellow mustard, a Mike's Maine Pickle, and placed in a New England style hot dog roll... Oh yeah, and served with a can of Moxie. “Lard Ass Hogan’s Favorite”

I had no idea they called them this until I just went to their web site, but around here it would be the Red Snapper hot dog made right here in Bangor by W.A. Bean and Sons. I confess I'd never heard of a Mike's Maine Pickle until just now either.

I think the encouragement of the fear of microorganism contamination when viewed on a reasonable historical timeline, that is one which includes the past of others, has been relatively recent. I know some people today leave butter and margarine out all of the time. I say that milk doesn't go bad anywhere near as rapidly as many assume it does. I think mayonnaise has ingredients which unintentionally or otherwise serve as preservative. Maybe some foods used to be created using such ingredients, with "natural" preservation in mind. If this is so, then beware more modern concoctions the most, since for decades our society has been spoiled, as it were, by being allowed to throw away perfectly edible food, since we so far have been able to afford to buy more.

A friend of mine in Grand Rapids, Michigan asked me if I'd like to go with him to get some "red hots". I thought he was talking about the little red spicy candies of that name. I'd never before heard hot dogs called Red Hots. I don't know if it's a generic term or only in reference to a franchise of Ray's Red Hots of Ann Arbor MI, which may have been where we ate that day.

If you are referring to food poisoning, there is nothing wrong with unrefrigerated mayo. It's just an emulsion of oil, eggs, salt and an acid, usually vinegar. When people get sick from the "famous left out all day potato salad" at picnics and the like it's because of bacteria developing in the potatoes. It has nothing to do with the mayo.

Most of the condiments we keep in the fridge here in the US are kept unrefrigerated in Europe with no ill effects.

Yes, quite real, and if they are to be considered uniquely American, I'm proud to own that.

I make really good chili. It has beans in it. Now, we could put that over hot dogs, but it's really kind of a waste of good chili. And the beans don't go as well with the dog, at least not for me.

The best chili for hot dogs, to my thinking, comes out of the A&W vat, or the bin of the street vendor, or from a can of chili, no beans - and I wouldn't be surprised to find out that those are all the same.

And you pretty much have to have a fork nearby. That is, if they're made with the right amount of chili. Even though I'm in a no/low-carb mode at the moment, the chili slopping over the bun and inundate the bread just adds to the experience.

To eat a real chili dog by hand requires real skill.

That's why I eat mine with Fritos on the side. No fork needed!;-D
