Hee!

James, to me: "So, if you tell the people on your cooking newsgroup
that you made a quiche with Oscar Meyer cheddar-jalapeno franks as the
meat, can I read the mail you get in response?"

Me, laughing: "Sure!"

Him: "'Cause I bet that's gonna be some funny, funny mail."

;-)

(It was the only thing in the house with cheese in it. I plead
creativity! :-)

(I chopped them finely and the rest of the thing was eggs, sour cream,
frozen pie crust, chopped green onions. Turned out quite well, actually.
James says "Thank you for my taaaasty breakfast!")

Needed more cheese.

Definitely! I was going to put a packet of parmesan in that I saved from
last time we ordered pizza, but I forgot. Now, that packet really is the
last bit of cheese in the house.

Without the cheese to weigh it down, though, the thing puffed up to
almost souffle-ish dimensions. It was really tasty.

I'd eat it! :-D
(Oscar Meyer franks are pretty strongly seasoned so a whole one just kills
me...chopped up in a quiche sounds pretty good!)

That's not seasoning, it's just a bunch of salt.

Hot dogs are salty by nature. The Oscar Mayer ones taste very strongly of
smoke flavoring, and indeterminate spices - the only frank to give me
heartburn after just one bite.

I wonder what it must be like to run a company
that makes hot dogs. There must be a certain
amount of cognitive dissonance to make a food
product you wouldn't eat yourself. Either that,
or you'd have to be a sociopath who actually
enjoys making something you consider garbage
and selling it to people you consider to be
suckers.

When I hear stories about the kinds of meat
used for ground beef and hot dogs, I imagine
people must be making considerable money by taking
euphemistically termed "beef trimmings" and turning
them into something people pay food prices for,
but that's probably an illusion. I'd guess that
most people in the sausage/hot dog/ground beef
business went into that line of work because
that's what their dad did. They don't know any
other line of work. It could be hard to compete
with people like that. They'd be more savvy on
procuring ingrediants cheaply and "tricks of the
trade" you'll never find written down in a book.
