Replace the hotdog with regular sausage (cooked on a barbecue), and you've literally got Australia's favourite weekend food. Onions (also barbecued) and tomato sauce optional.
As long as you arent putting your sausage in others peoples bread, you can put your sausage on your own bread however you like. We're in currentyear. Non-standard sausage behaviour is perfectly acceptable now.
Nah, I'm all about inclusivity. Every sausage sizzle should have veggie and gluten-free options available, even if I myself am never going to have them. I bought gluten-free sausages by accident last time I bought sausages, and it is definitely not as good.
I have actually seen people do sausage sizzle (at backyard barbies) onto a burger bun before—you break the sausage in half and it fits really well. But never a hotdog bun. How interesting.
I could get ramen for $0.11 each if I bought a pack. I lived on that for months. A hotdog without bread or condiments cost more. A hotdog was fucking luxury.
When I was 18 and my parents moved away, I only had $30 for food that first month. I was able to get ramen for 10/$1 and it got me through. It took me many years to be able to enjoy ramen after I was able to afford not being forced to eat it.
shiiiiittttt....they didn't even have ramen when I was a kid. know what we had? spam and beatings. don't eat your spam? ass beat and go to bed hungry and crying. and you were LUCKY to get government cheese on that fried spam.
When I was in college I lived off the really cheap ramen... until it literally made me sick.
I can afford the higher quality ramen now (air fried, actual vegetable packets) which is a little more expensive (but still comparatively cheap). Still a great go-to day snack to keep me going.
The really cheap stuff is NOT good. I still buy occasionally unfortunately. What brands have actual real vegetables packets? I have a great international market near me but they have like 600 kinds of ramen. I'd like to outsource filtering through them for the good ones.
The Nongshim Shin Black ramen has a good veggie packet, has relatively large mushrooms, a bone broth packet, and the spicy seasoning packet. It's about $2 a pack where I live (US). It's great though, my favorite ramen so far.
Am i the only one who would cut it in half and then cut those in half if it was going on white bread?
I would then stack them and make an actual sandwich.
I have done this. Cutting it in half creates a flat surface so the bread isn't thinner in one area, the gaps are all condiments, and it prevents the hotdog from rolling out.
To be precise It was Great value sliced bread. Great value cheese like slices. Great value mustard. With makers mark beef franks. It was the meal that Sam Walton's zombie corpse made.
Depending on how you define tortilla, this is the default way in Norway. At least when I was a kid we grilled and ate them like this with ketchup, mustard and crispy onions, can recommend.
I'm glad to see others sharing the best way to eat a hotdog.
I found it on my own, had tortillas from making tacos, but run out of meat, so I checked what else I had, and there it was, a perfectly nice sausage. So I made myself a Mex dog and I loved it, much better than with buns and a lot less messy.
Unpopular opinion, but I got used to eating hot dogs growing up with regular sliced bread and I might even prefer it. The bun/dog ratio is good.
However, I know it's more bread and is contradictory, but Danish hot dogs are my favorite.
Flat the sandwich bread with a rolling pin or a bottle (or whatever you have) then cover the weiner all around, at thins point you can add breadcrumbs and egg or leave it. Put it om airfryer for a while and there you go. Korean hot dog
Boil mac and cheese*, drain the pasta, put in industrial cheese powder agent, moisten with water instead of milk, put in butter/margarine/tears and stir.
*Note that this refers to what us Canucks call Kraft Dinner (which has the Kleenex effect going on, kinda). Proper mac and cheese is not a struggle meal in comparison.
I never noticed how modest my childhood lifestyle was until my 1st grade teacher asked the class what we all did for vacation during the school break. I worked on a ranch or stayed home playing with secondhand toys. I remember thinking "wait... is this what people do? How?" I remember missing out on many opportunities as a child (travel, sports, restaurants, etc) due to finances, but still don't consider it being a "poor" upbringing overall. My parents did the best they could with what they had, and I think having limited opportunities actually helped me be more creative with my time.
Anyway, back to the point... when we had them available sometime after getting a microwave, I ate hot dogs like this periodically in elementary school through college.
I mean when you're hungry and don't got any food to cook or money to get some, then yeah it's pretty good. Probably more so depends on if you like yellow mustard enough, which I do. I don't miss those times.
The real question is why the hell would you place the hot dog in this direction. Being vertical means the bread will not fully wrap around the dog and therefore not hold any condiments. Horizontally will allow for adequate condiments. The only downside being the ends of the bread will have hotdog sticking out.
I know right! I got some sandwich bread that a cat got into so needs to be used and I'm sans a fridge ATM so I'm going to get one of those for our five pack of sausages!
I was recently studying all prices per kilogram and price per calorie of the various bread types and I found that the cheapest per kg hot dog buns where actually 0.15$/kg cheaper than the cheapest bread in the store. Not very convenient in the toaster and doesn't brown very well in the countertop convection toaster oven, but 0.15$/kg is 0.15$/kg
man, microwaved hot dog on some nice rye or wheat bread with butter and ketchup was my jam as a kid! I had it all the time when I was home alone on weekends!
Only found decent vegan hot dogs a few weeks ago so I've been having that dish so many times recently, still can't get enough of it haha
