(Photo by Dixon Tam) Mmm! There's nothing like fresh ear, snout, and organ-meat mush stuffed in an animal's intestine, nestled in a sliced bun! In fact, to celebrate National Hot Dog Day (sandwiched in the middle of National Hot Dog Month), let's gulp down a whole pack of dachshund sausages. But before we start gorging ourselves with these popular sandwiches, let's go over some rules... Don't play with your weenie. It's a finger food, not a toy. Heed the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. Apply condiments on the dog, not the bun. Test your artistry. Decorate your frankfurter with wacky fixings. Don't laugh. Hot dog eating is a competitive sport. Cherish your hot dog. The imitations just don't hack it. Forget what's inside a wiener and stop calorie counting. You don't want to fall below the yearly average of hot dog devouring in your town -- or do you? Suggested Sites...
