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.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
