Thanksgiving Treat!

[warhed]

This I know, t' was a slip of the tongue, I grew up helping on my grandfathers cattle ranch, I will go now and hang my head in shame.

I changed it to "bovine balls" kind of rolls off the tongue, I like it.

Be careful slipping that tongue when dealing with balls

So one is bovine balls, and one is processed pig anuses and chicken lips.  The cow balls taste better, and that's what matters.

You do realize that hot dogs aren't actually made from pig anus and chicken lips, thats just kinda like an old wives tale.

That old lady was enjoying those just a little bit too much LOL....

You're right...it's the parts right next to the sphincter ring within 1/2 inch...inside and out...from chicken, pork and beef.

And everyone knows...chickens don't have lips.


You guys forgot about Rams...during docking season it's a big thing in Colorado...first time was the toughest...if they're prepared properly, it's like eating a well done steak.

Are hot dogs really made from pigs' snouts and unused meat scraps? Contrary to popular belief, hot dogs are not made from left-over meat laying around on the floors of meat-packing houses. Whether it is pork or beef that is stuffed into a hot dog, the meat trimmings are carefully selected just like the meat you buy in your grocer's coolers.

Most recipes for hot dogs combine together a tasty blend of favorite meats (pork, beef, chicken, or turkey), meat fat, a cereal filler which could be either bread crumbs, flour, or oatmeal, a little bit of egg white, and a mouth-watering array of herbs and seasonings including garlic, pepper, ground mustard, nutmeg, salt, and onion.

I never said anything about the pig snouts or lips...they get pickled so people can eat them as snacks. And they're expensive... 

National Hot Dog and Sausage Council

For the record, the Council refers to the actual meat as "specially selected meat trimmings." They would like to point out, however, that thanks to stricter U.S. Department of Agriculture rules, hot-dog meat has become much leaner and, unless otherwise indicated, must be made from muscle (as most meat found in supermarkets is).

A sphincter is a muscle...

any of the ringlike muscles surrounding and able to contract or close a bodily passage or opening. One of the most important human sphincter muscles is the sphincter pylori, a thickening of the middle layer of stomach muscle around the pylorus (opening into the small intestine) that holds food in the stomach until it is thoroughly mixed with gastric juices. Other sphincters are involved in excretion of waste: the sphincter ani externus keeps the anal opening closed by its normal contraction, and the sphincter urethrae is the most important voluntary control of urination. There is also a sphincter in the eye, the sphincter pupillae, a ring of fibres in the iris that contracts the pupil in the presence of bright light. Compare dilator muscle.

I don't care what's in them, they taste like but.

That's because you haven't eaten a hotdog produced in Michigan.

  Meat is meat, but the taste isnt the only thing. Texture is but with food and although I have never tried a turkey nut I cant help but think Id get some snappy gristly piece like in the McDonalds nuggets. I had rattlesnake deep fried and it was horrible. Deep frying stuff doesnt make it good. Maybe the skin tastes like deep fried chicken, but the gooey filling probably has its own special flavor.

[gyrene81]

Were you in Texas Filth? Must have had a rookie cookin for ya. Deep fried rattlesnake isn't bad if it's done properly...should be cooked to the consistency of a filet-o-fish, overdone and it's    . I prefer it baked.


In all seriousness if I had my druthers I'd take some fried gizzards over any type of testes...fried chicken liver is my second favorite.

some people will put anything in their mouth.

   I was in Texas at the time at the Sweet Water Rattlesnake Roundup. Musta been around 1985 or 86. Im sure a chef could make anything taste good, but these guys were stripping,chopping,dipping in oil and slinging it out as fast as they could. To me it was like a cross between fish and chicken. Rubbery and gamey.
