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.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
