How do you like your hotdog?


July is National Hot Dog month in the states. The hot dog/frankfurter/wiener is eaten in many different ways depending on the region of the country you are from. Here in Gettysburg, we have a wonderful little hot dog place called The Dog House, which serves hotdogs in a variety of ways.

For example, my son's favorite, The Baltimore, has a hot dog, wrapped in fried bologna, with mustard, and saur kraut. (He likes his minus the kraut.) My husband's favorite is The Cashtown which has a sweet BBQ sauce and melted cheese. I had The Boston which serves the hot dog with baked beans and onion. The DC dog has mustard, ketchup and relish. That's the way I liked them when I was growing up. There are many, many more.

What is your favorite hotdog?

Wendy, are you from the southern US? I have never had one with coleslaw on it, but I hear they are popular there.

Dymphna's favorite quotes


"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
