Contributing Member fredk Posted January 3 Contributing Member Report Posted January 3 (edited) That sounds like you make what we call a 'pig in a blanket' edit to amend; it sounds a bit like pig in a blanket. That would do good on sales, a mini two-bite hot dog Edited January 3 by fredk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

I call those 'training treats' for training my dog, especially when tracking. You slice them up really small and drop the bits on the track. Heh. Serious dog people spend hundreds of dollars on high priced dog food, then give their dogs the cheapest treats imaginable... I very rarely eat hot dogs. There's a trailer at the local Canadian Tire that sells hot dogs, sausages and burgers, plus fries and a few other things during the nice weather. I always go for the sausages, which are really good. They come with free fried onions. The onions go on the bun FIRST. They have dozens of different toppings you can put on yourself - everything from sauerkraut to olives! If my favourite BBQ type sauce isn't available, I've been known to put some ketchup on the brat. Standard dressing for a regular dog in my part of the world, is ketchup, mustard and green relish. We were pretty poor when I was growing up, so we often wrapped our hotdogs in a slice of white bread instead of buying buns. Edit: Chuck, your post at the top of this page seems to have disappeared? All I see is your name. Edited January 4 by Sheilajeanne Quote

I sometimes play "hide the sausage" with my two Westies! I sometimes get some strange looks when I say that to people. I cut up sausages into pieces and, once the dogs are out in the garden, I secrete the pieces around the house and amid great excitement they scurry around looking for them. It gives me great pleasure to watch them and I have to be vigilant to ensure the sharper of the two doesn't get them all. Edited January 6 by Northmount Moved toxo's reply out of the quote box Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted January 6 Author CFM Report Posted January 6 The first thing I learned to cook besides a marshmallow, lol. Cooking the lowly hot dog on a willow stick was the greatest achievement in my child's mind at the time. Gently simmering, sizzling, and turning brown over a smoky fire, man, i couldnt wait to get a bite of that meaty goodness wrapped in a bun and smothered with ketchup, mustard, and that sweet pickle relish!!, Sitting by the campfire in the brisk mountain air, smell of the pines and the quiet little stream we camped at every 4th of July. Hot dogs have a special place in everyone's memory lol.

Members Darren8306 Posted January 6 Members Report Posted January 6 When I was a kid, we had a family celebration for my first communion. Mom served rappie pie to everyone, which is a traditional Acadian dish requiring a huge prep and beloved by all the attending family. I was upset, and remember insisting that it was MY first communion, and we should be able to have hot dogs instead! Quote

The wife wanted some teas, herbal mostly, but i saw a box of Earl Grey, and it reminded me of my dad, he had tea with his supper every night. He was raised by his grandparents, and his grandfather was an Imigrant from Ireland, so maybe that's why. Anyway, I bought it, and it was ok but not anywhere near the good stuff, so I ordered a pound of loose leaf, and it arrived yesterday, Ahmad brand, london based co. It's really aromatic and has no bitterness. I compared it to the tea-bagged stuff, and jeez, it doesn't even look like the same thing with Bergamont scent about every forth bag its ground to dust. American food processors can f up the best things.

Members Sheilajeanne Posted January 12 Members Report Posted January 12 Chuck, I remember some N. Americans touring a tea factory in England. One of them wanted to know what goes into tea bags. The tour guide rolled his eyes and replied "The sweepings." Quote
Members Handstitched Posted January 13 Members Report Posted January 13 @chuck123wapati my dad enjoys earl grey tea as well as Darjeeling, it should be drank without milk, but i put a little bit of milk in for dad. But they are quite aromatic. @Sheilajeanne when I was in 1st year high school, one of our excursions was at a sheep abattoir during a school camp, i don't know what possessed the teachers to do that, perhaps a dose of reality i guess, but I was fascinated, nothing is wasted, while other kids were almost passing out, lol 😆 I don't know why I mentioned that, it just flashed past reading your post , ha 😅 HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Lipton's hot tea or Lipton's iced tea, lol. A funny sheep story about when my wife and I first met. We were going out to see my folks one weekend, they lived in ranch country anyway, we were driving along, and we passed a herd of sheep, and it was docking season. So I started telling her about how the Basque shepherds castrate the sheep with their teeth, they slit the bag with a knife, then pull the testes out with their teeth. She, of course, thought I was pulling her leg and wasn't going for it a bit. Not two minutes later, we came around a curve in the road, and there they were lol Two old Basque herders castrating sheep, and just as we went by, the one guy bends down and pulles em out with his teeth and spits them in a bucket. Jeez, the purest look of OH MY GOD what did i just see on my wife's face you could ever imagine. I had to stop i was laughing so hard. She turned about half green and didn't talk much for a bit, but she believed my stories after that, lol, for a while. At one time, the county I live in was the largest wool producer in the US. The wool would be stored in huge Quonset huts here in town, then loaded on the train and shipped out. I still have my great uncle's sheep wagon, built after he came back from WW1. BTW, Rocky Mountain oysters are the bomb man sheep,beef, or Elk!!!
