It’s baseball season again, and although I like sushi very much, I can’t get into it as a mid-game repast.
There’s only two true baseball foods. Peanuts and hot dogs.
Peanuts aren’t very noteworthy unless you get the flavored or spiced kind. And only if they light your ass on fire are they noteworthy at all.
It’s hot dogs that are the gourmet nourishment at all ball parks.
So, have at you. What’s your fave mystery meat blend in a skin, and whaddya have on ‘em?
Here are mine:
As it used to be at old War Memorial in Greensboro, Curtis or Carolina Pride all the way (mustard, onions, and slaw with Texas Pete), and at two un-named ball parks in the midwest, Hebrew National all the way (northern style…hot mustard, kraut, and any available hot pepper).
…best answer picked 9pm eastern Friday.
Originality and smartassiness are pluses.
You’re up.
Ok i know this is totally gross (to some) but i would always get a good ol’ hot dog with THE WORKS! Like mustard, manyayos, ketchup, onions, relish, pickles, olives (if there), col slaw, and (this is the narly part) I would bring my own Marshmellows and put the on last- Than i’d down ussaly two of those (ah!) Alwys accompaned with a clasic cold Coke!
Many people would be amazed (or SERIOUSLY grossed out) brcause i’m a tiny blonde girl- lol
Peace!!
I’m a sucker for a chicken frank plain. Now, they don’t really serve these at the ballparks here in Chicago, but they should. But since they don’t, second choice is any hot dog with those snappy casings. God, those are great. The snap of the skin, juice squirting out… oh, wait a minute, that sounds a little “Brokebacky”.. But those are still the best hot dogs. And on top… nothing! Yup, I am one of those freaks who actually prefers my hot dogs plain. Oh, I’ll occasionally put mustard, relish and onions on them. Or if I’m at a hotdog stand, I’ll have the works. But at home or at the ballpark, I want them au natural. I want to taste the dog, the bun. Put mustard on and the dominant taste is … mustard, especially at the ballpark where you usually don’t get the choice of Grey Pupon, honey mustard or Guldens. Just that stuff that comes in the little packets that are hard as hell to open. Onions add a little zest to the dog, but who eats a hot dog with just onions. Nope, give me a nude hot dog on a bun and let the game add the flavor!
