OK, here’s the scenario: The hometown Giants are on Monday Night Football. My brother and his roommate usually hosts a big BBQ in the TV room there, with a giant screen, too much food, etc. The one thing they don’t have is hot dogs. Now I, living 30 minutes away or so, have access to some of the greatest hot dogs ever: the NJ Italian Hot Dog. Be prepared to hold your stomachs in glory and pain people: Take a pizza dough, before it gets flattened out. Cook that bad boy as is, then cut it in half and hollow it out. Deep fry and then boil two foot long hot dogs, and fill that baby up, usually with peppers, onions and potatoes (the “Italian”) or alternatively, cheese and maybe some chili (the “Irish” or “Mick and Marie”). The first time I unwrapped one of these from the foil, I said out loud “This was a mistake, I’m going to die”. Clearly I didn’t.
Now, the issue here is a multi layered one: what one eats on one of these puppies is so built to taste, I hesitate to decide what to get. I also don’t know for sure if everyone wants one of those (the group in whole does tend to eat like that); there is always the “safer” choice of getting a dozen “Rippers”, which are the pork ones specially designed to be deep friend in oil until they “pop”. But then if I get Rippers and a few Italians, I hope I don’t screw some folks out of wanting Italians.
Of course, all this is making me hungry~
