Pork Hot Dogs vs Beef Hot Dogs Login/Join

Recently, while in Alaska and Canada, I ate what I thought were Caribou dogs. After looking into it I found that they were a mixture of beef, pork and Caribou. Tasted more like sausage. I was told that humans don't have the enzymes in our intestines to break down pure Caribou. I lean towards not believing that.

American Wagyu Frankfurters from Snake River Farms. Try 'em and never look back!

My go to dogs as well. Juicy and so delicious. So now the question is traditional hotdog rolls or New England style? Wink

Over the Labor Day Weekend, wife and I went to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. Went to the hotdog restaurant in the museum for lunch. They use Dearborn Brand hotdogs, and it was the best dog I’ve tasted in a long time. They may have been halal approved due to the large Muslim population in the area, but still pretty good flavor and texture. Can’t find them locally.

I don't believe it as caribou is too lean for sausage (much like deer) on its own so it's blended with pork.

BTW, I put away my fair share and then some of caribou breakfast sausage and hot dogs during my 5 hears in Anchorage.

Always creative and entertaining topics in the lounge and this one proves it. I recently had an all beef Nathan’s and was pleasantly surprised. I am not too picky about hot dogs, but love when they have the snappy skin.

I don't care what Oscar meyer is discontinuing in their hot dogs, there is nothing that would get me to eat on of their nasty hotdogs. Oscar meyer and Budweiser go hand in hand!

The best hotdog I've ever had was a pork dog, but they were made locally by a butcher.

I knew you had lived there for a while and was tempted to ask you what to do and see. The problem was my mother-in-law planned and paid for the trip and all the excursions, so free time to wander on my own was not an option.

If you go back through culinary evolution to the German pork sausages that hot dogs came from, they're pretty good.

American hot dogs, I like all beef.

Wish we had known you folks were in the area Smile

Dearborn Brand is very good. They do have things like *real* andouille sausage (pork), so am hoping they have not gone all habibi on us, although Dearborn, where i grew up, is now overrun by mooselimbs.

Dearborn Brand might be hard to find in "Kain-tuk-e," so might I suggest Koegel brand ? They should be easier to find and if there is a Kroger nearby, suggest starting there.

Apparently, Michigan has very strict laws regarding hot dogs, so that might something helping the quality...

Dad was a Govt Veterinary USDA APHIS MPIP (meat inspector) after he quit private practice. I had a tour of a chicken processing plant. I saw chicken weenies being made. Dad would not eat them, neither will I. I imagine the beef ones are made similarly. But I do eat the beef bun lengths, and the vendors one outside Jerrys (Eugene, OR) The vendor mentioned they come from COSTCO.

Meat processing, fowl or red, is not pretty.

Big Grin My dad was a wholesale baker all his life until he retired. Along the way he got involved in the creation of one of the frozen microwavable hamburger brands, I forget which one. He was in charge of developing a bun that would survive being frozen and then microwaved without turning into a hockey puck. So one day he's out on a tour of the meat processing plant where the beef patty part of the thing was being done. He watched the workers scraping bits of whatever they had trimmed off of the various beef/chicken/whatever that they processed there, into pails. He asked what they did with those. "Oh, that's the wiener bucket." Ever since then he won't touch a hot dog, any hot dog.

Me, I'll shut out that story and buy a package of Hebrew National or Nathan's beef dogs now and then. I can usually even get them in packages of four - two packages of hot dogs and one package of buns, it comes out even. The store brands, Ball Park (most of them), OM, etc., are just awful.

My visit to the chicken plant saw the "bucket" dumped into a grinder, mixer, presser, pooper into casings machine in operation. Then they looped hot dog strings on racks inside a walk-in oven. Steam oven I think. The strings were long just like what Fido stole and ran with in cartoons. The bucket contents was not appetizing.

It has been said many times that one should not watch sausage being made; hot dogs are a variety of sausage. (My high school called them "Vienna in bun".)
