LOL...I was just going to say you might want to talk to Herbicide about this topic. He is the resident expert!
I'm addicted to Ball Park cheese dogs
I go through at least a package of them a week.
Good God. I pray for your arteries. =)
I wonder how many people who work at a hot dog factory are vegetarians? And do they get free hot dogs for lunch? And how many are missing fingers? Or jewelry? Or their pets?
Here is another shameless plug for my company, for another tasty artery-clogging food.

If you can figure out who I work for (except you, isuno1fan , and no cheating) there is rep in it for you. Hint: There is a couple of good marketing shots in both videos.

Unfortunately, today many 'dogs are made from mechanically deboned meat rather than from beef, chicken or pork trim and cuts. MDM is awful, nasty stuff that is a paste like substance after the mechanism removes meat from bone.
After 25 years in the meat business, I don't touch hot dogs anymore.

You mean I can't tell someone and then after you rep them, they rep me in return?:wink:
Another hint, we make those mechanical deboners as well! Those things are very popular in the industry, mechanically deboned meats are seen as "free" meat to the processors.
East side of DSM company? Bowling alley in the facility?
MBM may be "free", but it is still nasty (but wholesome unless someone can prove BSE is a threat in this beef/meat product).
Sorry, Im ignorant. How does it work? So it scrapes all of the tendons, grisle, etc and use it? So the meat probably really isnt meat.
Looks like hotdogs get many showers. Wish I could run a few of my co-workers through the hotdog process. Sorry, stinky guy came to my office. The one where is breathe always smells like sinus... He was leaning over me watching the hotdog process.
No, it is meat. It looks and tastes like ground whatever animal it is. It is normally very lean, hence most do not like the taste.
It takes the bones, presses or squeezes them together. The proteins and fats that are left over from the normal processes (cutting off with knives) are squeezed out.
BSE (mad cow) is a somewhat concern with it if sections of vertebra w/spinal cord or dorsal nerves of an infected animal get into the bones that are being processed. It is illegal to process said bones, so the risk is low.
