AbsolutSurgen Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 My wife was at Costco, and decided the Kirkland hot dogs were too expensive, so bought an alternative brand. I didn't have time to make a real meal last night, so quickly opened the pack and.... The dogs came out and I could immediately tell something was not right. They were almost as pale as my skin, and flacid like a limp dick. After cooking, they had no flavour. Not that hot dogs are "gourmet cuisine", but a hot dog normally has a pretty distinct flavour. Should hot dog packages be required to call themselves "Chicken Dogs" if they are not made out of beef? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Considering that I doubt that "beef" hot dogs are made out of actual cow meat anyway, I'd say they could call the "chicken" hot dogs whatever the hell they want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 This isn't like "milk" which has the specific etymological definition of "white liquid food produced by the mammary glands of mammals" and should only be applied to that substance rather than being used for plant-based alternatives which should properly be called "beverages" (oat beverage, almond beverage, etc.).

Biggie Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 The color and texture would throw me off ewwwwww. I like my hot dogs pink, firm, and full of mystery meat trimmings. Mustard and onions. On a nice bun. Come on bro. Do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often add cheese and bacon -- but I approve of your choices. ============================= My additional "research" tells me FDA labelling in the US requires the type of meat to be on the label. Apparently does not apply in Canada, because I could only find out they were chicken dogs I looked at the ingredients. Another way the US is superior to Canada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Chicken dogs and turkey dogs can kick rocks. They don’t grill nice or have any worthwhile taste. At that point I’d rather be served some cheap sliced turkey lunch meat on bread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious as to whether you actually think that something labeled as an "all beef hot dog" might not actually be all beef and why, if you wouldn't mind elaborating?

We do have a Sam's Club and that might be fucking up Costco ever entering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's a hot dog, of course! Why waste all that beef on such a commodity product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has the same vibes as the "Subway doesn't use real tuna" conspiracy... what other animal would be readily accessible and equivalently affordable at the scale that Americans eat cow? There's a lot of leftovers from the cuts for things like steak, stew, etc., to say nothing of organ met and other body parts that can be ground up and used as filler, or grades of beef that don't get sold at grocery stores as cuts that people would cook for meals. I think it would probably be more expensive to get some other animal into the mix! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Anyway to the question in the OP... hot dogs aren't exclusively beef or pork to begin with, so I see no issue labeling something as a "chicken dog" or a "turkey dog" and having it be considered a hot dog.
