An Easy Lunch Food Question

< If This Is The Wrong Theatre For This Question, Then I Request that it be moved >

I have an idea for a lunch food. It would require that several semi-cooked hotdogs be wrapped in a slices of bacon ( possibly pinned by wooden toothpicks ) and air fryed ( or microwave ? ) cooked to the point where the meat can be eaten without trichinosis.

The bacon dogs, after cooking, would be added to buns and ingested at leisure once the toothpicks were removed..

If you wanted to put a slice of cheese between the dog on the bun, that would be on you.

If you wanted to add some chili on top is also on you.

Lastly, whether you put either a yellow or a red condiment on top would solely be on you.

Thoughts?

Seems it has been done:

But… would this be something suitable for guests?

Would you put the condiments and chili and the cheese on a Lazy Susan and serve your guest Chardonnay?

4

That would depend on who your guests are, what they enjoy and why they are there. Is it a picnic? Then sure. Inviting your SO over for a romantic, home-cooked meal? Probably not.

5

Occasionally, neighbors ( who have not yet identified themselves as -ssholes or not ) walk by.

I might be nice to be able to offer to them a quick lunch/brunch to show that I hold no hatred toward them no matter what other sh-thead neighbors whisper into their ears.

This would be my intent.

I have an idea for a lunch food, too.

First, we start with bread. Cook a loaf of bread, and once it cools, cut two slices from it, each about 1/2” or a little less thick. Store-bought sliced bread is also acceptable.

Then take some roasted peanuts and grind them down into a smooth paste.

Now mash up and cook some sort of fruit- grapes or strawberries perhaps, and mix it with sugar and pectin until a gelatinous consistency is formed.

Now, once the gelatinous fruit has cooled, spread it on one slice of bread. Spread the nut paste on the other slice, and put the slices together, this part is important- with the spread nut paste and fruit on the inside. Cut in half and serve. The richness of the nut paste and the tartness of the fruit complement each other wonderfully. I call it the “nut paste and gelatinous fruit sandwich”.

That name might need a little work :thinking:

7

Indeed. “Sandwich”? Lame.

I would enjoy a bacon-wrapped hot dog on a bun with chili, cheese, mustard, and onions. Thank you.

Why stop with bacon wrapped dogs when there are bacon wrapped cats?

10

Texas Toms. Slit a tube steak stuff with relish and cheese undefined. Wrap in a bacon product. Broil
On low 10 min turning occasionally

Buns optional beans yes.

I grew up on something similar that my grandmother called “pigs in a blanket” (not to be confused with “pigs in a blanket”),
split the hot dog
fill with decent cheddar
little bit of Heinz chili sauce
wrap with bacon
broil (the residual seasoned crisped cheddar in the broiling pan being my favorite part!)
serve on toasted buns

There’s a not-dissimilar hot dog variant to what the OP describes, that apparently originated here in Chicago: the Francheezie:

The company cafeteria at my first job (35-ish years ago) offered Francheezies once a week.

13

But should we cut it diagonally or rectangularly?

Here’s an upgrade:

I’m sure I’d like that too. What’s not to like?
