Do they actually exist or is the idea simply wishful thinking on my behalf?


I've seen a few people heap praise (and onions, Mustard, Ketchup) on Coops Hot-Dogs on North Cross Road and so am lead to believe that such a gourmet treat may be more than just fiction.


I am having a Superbowl party on Sunday (as some of you may know) and have had a couple of requests for Chilli Dogs - I've no problem making a high quality beef chilli, but am slightly reluctant to slather it all over a limp, anemic-looking product of the abattoir floor.


Your suggestions, please.

Those frankfurters that usually come in packs of 10, are quite nice. They are firm and flavoursome and go well with lashings of relish, mustard and any kind of dressing. They keep their shape well when taken out of the hot water and onions and don't disintegrate. Hmmm.. I sound like sound kind of hot dog expert. :)

Uni days... left in 1998. I assume the students still have Aldi and Lidl, so all is not lost. And Bargain Booze, of course.

There's a German sausie stall in borough market - i think they do franks, but their bratwurst are truely to behold.


Other than that, I'm the one man in the whole of london that likes the salmonella-dogs from the vendors in cov.garden. Don't even have to be pissed.

Anybody remember the boiled burgers that were available in the '70s and early '80s? They came in big catering tins and were heated through boiling - usually sold through small sheds in bus stations. They were digusting. Thankfully kebabs and the proper burger chains have killed off such establishments.


Such were the joys of growing up in Cannock in the '70s.

Nope me too. Love 'em with load of onions and mustard.

Ah memories, I was there 96 - 01 (stayed on after uni). At one point I lived on Baggot Road the Smithdown end, right opposite the Aldi. Used to be worken regularly by the delivery lorry beeping and telling us ut was reversing!


During summer of '97 I lived just off Allerton Road around the corner from a newly opened Bargain Booze. Me and my mate used to go there daily throughout the summer, great times!

Thanks for the replies everyone - I followed Dave R's and Brendan's advice and picked up some franks from the German Deli near Borough.


Big Number 5 and Brendan - jumbo dogs from the street traders? Yikes. A cast-iron stomach is surely required for such folly. I remember many many years ago trying one as a drunken dare. I couldn't finish the first bite and the remainder went straight to the bin.:(

I read this and thought you were about to recall some sort of eating competition...


Last nights chilli-dogs were a big hit with all concerned. they are the future of sporting event eating in this country.


Chilli-dogs, Jugs of Margarita, Cold beers and Superbowl FTW.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
