Are nitrates in kosher hot dogs?
Sodium nitrite is actually the chemical added in hot dogs, not sodium nitrATE. Sodium nitrite is added to pork and other meat products as a preservative to allow it to remain fairly pathogen-free on its way to distant markets. Not all kosher hot dogs are nitrite-free, so you have to look at the ingredients. Most hot dogs have sodium nitrite, though.
The problem with nitrites is that they are converted to nitrosamines in the body...and nitrosamines are very carcinogenic. The simple reason why we don't get cancer after eating a hot dog is because we have DNA repair and regulation mechanisms in our cells that prevent cancers and DNA damage. However, over time, as damage accumulates, those repair mechanisms break down and become less effective, leading to increased probability of cancer.
What gives ham hot dogs and bologna their pink color?
Meat processing companies have been (for years) mixing in this pink sludge as a meat substitute in their low end meats like hot dogs, bologna and ground beef. This was actually some big news story a while back. Pretty much, you don't want to be eating that stuff, ever. You should go to a real butcher and get decent sliced meats and dogs. It costs more but at least it's real meat.
This is one of those things where a scientist could say the mass consumption of this pink sludge has led to certain health problems but the time and energy it would take to LEGALLY link health problems to the meat companies would make it nearly impossible.
Is there rat hair in hot dogs?
yes there is "rat hair" in hot dogs. they don't put the best parts of the animals in the hot dogs they, throw in some chemical additives, maybe a little sawdust. Then when you consider that they reportedly can legally contain limited amounts of rat hair. so yes it is true they can add "rat hair" in hot dogs.
Do hot dogs go bad if they are left out?
Most hot dogs are precooked, you can eat them right out of the package. If yours is truly uncooked, then I wouldn't eat it. If it is like most others and it really is cooked, then it should be fine (as long as the temperature in the car was at 40 F). You might want to go ahead and heat it up to 160 degrees F, to kill off any bacteria.
How long can hot dogs last if not refrigerated?
I wouldn't eat them after 30 minutes out without cooking them thoroughly again.
Which country made up hot dogs?
German Americans brought the US the weinerwurst, German for Vienna sausage, which eventually became shortened to wiener. Other German immigrants referred to smoked sausages as bundewurst, which is German for dog sausage. By the late 1920's, these were bing used in in open air cooking events.
How do you steam a hot dog on a hot dog cart?
You are much better off buying one pre-built, or used from someone selling one.
For the best hygiene, you want a cart built mostly out of stainless steel for ease of cleaning and longevity.
There are many companies that make these. I prefer the New York Style cart myself. That's what I used when I was a vendor.
You could also get a portable hot dog server that can go into a van or a station wagon as well.
There used to be a company in Brooklyn called Albick, Inc. It doesn't look like they are still in business.
You need to contact your local City Board of health to find out what regulations they have regarding Hot Dog Carts before you do anything.
A wiener is another word for a frankfurter. It is similar to a sausage and originally comes from Germany. They are made from minced and seasoned beef or pork. They are stuffed into a casing and then fried or boiled. Sometimes wiener is also used as a term for the common hot dog.
The term "dog" has been used as a synonym for sausage since at least 1884 and accusations that sausage makers used dog meat date to at least 1845[11] According to a popular myth, the use of the complete phrase "hot dog" in reference to sausage was coined by the newspaper cartoonist Thomas Aloysius "TAD" Dorgan around 1900 in a cartoon recording the sale of hot dogs during a New York Giants baseball game at the Polo Grounds.[11] However, TAD's earliest usage of "hot dog" was not in reference to a baseball game at the Polo Grounds, but to a bicycle race at Madison Square Garden, in the The New York Evening Journal [December 12, 1906], by which time the term "hot dog" in reference to sausage was already in use.[12][11] In addition, no copy of the apocryphal cartoon has ever been found.[13] The earliest usage of "hot dog" in clear reference to sausage found by Barry Popik appeared in the 28 September 1893 edition of The Knoxville Journal.[12] It was so cool last night that the appearance of overcoats was common, and stoves and grates were again brought into comfortable use. Even the weinerwurst men began preparing to get the "hot dogs" ready for sale Saturday night. -28 September 1893, Knoxville (TN) Journal, "The [sic] Wore Overcoats," pg. 5 Another early use of the complete phrase "hot dog" in reference to sausage appeared on page 4 of the October 19, 1895 issue of The Yale Record: "they contentedly munched hot dogs during the whole service."[12] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_dogs
Can you feed a backyard lizard a hot dog?
Most of them are carnivorous--they eat insects.
i guess lettuce works but insects are better, it depends... backyard lizards like in Florida eat insects but like in Mexico and iguana would eat lettuce
I guess they would eat both but lettuce is probably a better idea. However, they mostly eat insects and worms.
If you were a hot dog and you were stuck on a stranded island would you eat yourself?
Are there condiments? Catsup, mustard, relish please? well its no different because humans are edible too, although it may be frowned upon in some societies as it is cannibalism but it is your own body and you can do what you want with it. so the real question is would you eat yourself if you were stranded on an island.

I think hotdogs would be considered a renewable source because they come from unused pig entrails, and pigs are renewable on pig farms.
Not intentionally. In practice, it's difficult to ensure that any mass-produced processed food is entirely free from contamination, but the worst days of "whatever goes into the grinder" as described in The Jungle are mostly over.
