#hamdog

now what the fuck is this.

there's actually two hamdog variations, and both of them are made up nonsense garbage. there's the picture above, which looks kinda obscene in a way i can't put my finger on, and there's the description on wikipedia, which is a completely totally different thing.

this is what wikipedia is describing:

ALSO PRETTY BAD

but this is what i made.

i wrapped a hot dog (nathans, my goat, my love) in raw seasoned hamburger. i'm not gonna tell you what seasonings because you should make this at home. i waited until my wife finished cooking her non-hamdog dogs so that i wouldn't contaminate the pan, and then i pan fried it (while she looked on in dismay).

two things. i did not deepfry it because i was already at my limit. i just regular fried it. second-off, hamburger doesn't stick to hotdog very well. every time i poked the dog to turn it the meat would threaten to slough off. this would probably not be a problem if i was deep frying it, i'm now realizing.

once the meat was fully cooked (probably overcooked, but i wasn't risking anything), I crammed it into a bun with chili, cheese and a few french fries.

and what sucks is that it was somehow, somehow, pretty mediocre. not terrible, not great. the beefiness of the hamburger was kind of lost in the chili, which also had hamburger in it. it just felt like a more chili cheese dog. which is good, but not at all what i expected. i think it i wanted this taste again i would just make extra-meaty chili and slop a shit ton of it on a regular dog.
