Hot Dog Etiquette

Dos and Don'ts:
Everyday guide to eating Hot Dogs.

Don't...
put hot dog toppings between the hot dog and the bun. Always "dress the dog," not the bun. Condiments should be applied in the following order: wet condiments like mustard and chili are applied first, followed by chunky condiments like relish, onions and sauerkraut, followed by shredded cheese, followed by spices, like celery salt or pepper.

Do...
serve sesame seed, poppy seed and plain buns with hot dogs.

Don't...
use a cloth napkin to wipe your mouth when eating a hot dog. Paper is always preferable.

Do...
eat hot dogs on buns with your hands. Utensils should not touch hot dogs on buns.

Do...
use paper plates to serve hot dogs. Every day dishes are acceptable; china is a no-no.

Don't...
take more than 7 bites to finish a hot dog. For foot-long wiener, 9 bites are acceptable.

Don't...
leave bits of bun on your plate. Eat it all.

Do...
Condiments remaining on the fingers after eating a hot dog should be licked away, not washed.

Don't...
send a thank you note following a hot dog barbecue. It would not be in keeping with the unpretentious nature of hot dogs.

Do...
drink soda, lemonade and iced tea with your hot dogs.

Don't...
ever think there is a wrong time to serve hot dogs.

It's ALL about the HOT DOG!

Hello my_little_miracle! and Welcome to my Petpage TOTALLY devoted to Hot Dogs!

Here you find out any and everything you'd like to know about this wonderous food.
My goal behind this petpage (and my Hot Dog Gallery) is to show off these delicious edible treats that so many of us love (here in Neopia and out in the 'real world') and to display TNT's spin on this delightful snack food.

Please note: This is my side account, to contact me please neomail my main account: my_little_miracle

Frankfurters, franks, weiners, dachshund sausages, red hots...
It really doesn't matter what you call them, in the end we will always know them as hot dogs!
This tasty treat is coined as the Classic American Fare, but the Hot Dog was actually 'created' in Germany!

What is a 'Hot Dog'?
A Hot Dog is a type of sausage, though usually smaller and less spicy than the traditional sausage.
And no, they are not made from canines... Usually they are made of Beef, Pork, Chicken, Turkey, or Tofu.

There are MANY ways to enjoy these YUMMY 'dogs':
Fried, Steamed, Grilled, Boiled, Toasted, Roasted, or Raw (Well, technically they aren't 'raw' per se because Hot Dogs come already pre-cooked or smoked before packaging).

Hubert, the Hot Dog Salesman

Hubert runs the hot dog stand in Neopia Central. His friendly manner and helpful advice make him a very popular Mynci.

You can find his shop, by simply clicking

HERE

Obviously, Hubert LOVES Hot Dogs, but he likes ice cream too.

Mynci Surprise Ice Cream

Designed by Hubert himself. This ice cold treat is just the thing a hungry Mynci needs.

The Neopets Team must think pretty highly of this hard-working fellow, because they named a Hot Dog after him too!

Huberts Surprise Hot Dog

No one is sure what Huberts Special Hot Dog has on it and is made of, but they sure are good!

Hot Dog Hullabaloo

It appears that The Neopets Team (TNT) enjoys Hot Dogs too. They even devoted a whole day in honor of it!

Hot Dog Hullabaloo was celebrated by all of Neopia on November 7th, 2007.

4 New Hot Dogs were released, a screensaver, 4 buddy icons, along with 4 very cute Hot Dog related petpet items to celebrate the day.

So, it came as a surprise when TNT seemingly devoted another day (well, actually 2 days) to these delectable treats.

On January 18th, 2008 - a New Game was released.
Hot Dog Hero
(You can find the link to this fun game on the left under 'Special Features').

On January 19th, 2008 - they announced 4 more new Hot Dogs, a themed background, 4 fun images, and 8 Hot Dog related items.

Hot Dog Toppings and Ingredients

Typically, Hot Dogs are placed in a bun and often topped with ingredients such as ketchup, mustard, onion_ or chilli.

Of course the Neopets Team has put thier own twist and tastes on the classic Hot Dog, such as asparagus, dung, rambus, and peanut butter and jelly (to name a few).

Whereas 'real' Hot Dogs are made of Turkey, Beef, Chicken, or Tofu... once again TNT thought out of the box. One may say they got a little carried away when creating their own original recipes. Here are some the inventive ingredients that TNT infused into their Hot Dogs:

Other ingredients include:
Strawberries, Tomatos, Peas, Dung, Carrot, Cabbage, Bomberry, Jellies, Yogurt, Brains, Egg, Gherkin, Salt Water, Spaghetti, Spinach, Terragon and Brie, Mozzarella and Basil, Veggies, and Water.

Needless-to-say, there seem to be endless possibilies to what you can top your 'Dog' with. So don't be afraid to different things, TNT and Hubert did!
