Huh, you’d think it would be a nightmare for color-blind players. Strange that the league okayed that.
Hot dogs: Miller’s. They’re seriously great.
Though I also like Casper’s.

I used to eat Nathan’s until I found out they’re serious Trumpists.
Comiskey Park used to have a Best’s Kosher stand out behind the center-field bleachers. No matter where I was sitting I would make the trek out there whenever I was at a game. Best dog I’ve ever had, and even better topped with some caramelized onion.
White uniform/jersey vs. not-white is, in most cases, going to be a contrast that not only the fans, but more importantly the players (and the game officials/referees) can instantly identify. That’s important in many sports, such as football, where you don’t want a player to be accidentally passing to (or tackling) someone from the other team.
In the NFL, for example, the home team gets to choose which of their jerseys (white or dark) that they will wear for a particular game, and the visiting team is required to wear the opposite. Most teams opt for wearing their dark jerseys at home, but a few (most notably the Dallas Cowboys) opt for white at home. (However, there’ve been a few games, like the stupid NFL “Color Rush” uniforms, as shown in that red-green nightmare photo, where both teams were wearing dark.)
In MLB, home teams traditionally wear white, and visiting teams dark, but that, too, has evolved in recent years, with teams often having several different alternate uniforms.
In the NHL, it used to be that the home team wore light and the visitors dark. A few years ago they switched and now the home team wears dark. I have no idea why they did this.
Yeah, that confused me! However, I preferred the dark jerseys and was sad they made the change to dark for home happened after I no longer had season tickets.
My favorite hot dog brand is Farmer John, but I don’t think they’re national (“Easternmost in quality. Westernmost in flavor” said in Vin Scully’s voice). Also, it was a Farmer John’s plant where the pig’s blood came from in Carrie.
Apologies for the usage of the vague term “fish,” but I just needed a word to differentiate from what I’m pretty sure we all automatically think of when we see the word “fish” and other more specific types of seafood.
I don’t really have any hot dog brand loyalty. I’ll usually just buy whichever bun-length one is on sale. I’ve yet to encounter one that’s impressed me enough to remember what it was.
Most lasagna is made in a manner that I do not like (I hate ricotta or any of its substitutes), so I’m going with the taco. I’ll pretty much only eat lasagna if I made it.
Ball Park Franks are you-all’s favorite. Oy. We’re going to hell in a handbasket for sure. Those are terrible hot dogs. The local favorite amongst my fellow foodies is Ambassador. And I agree with them.
Like @DCnDC I went with the taco grande. Can’t ever go wrong with a taco, in my experience, but I’ve had some questionable lasagnas. I love a good lasagna, but not a mediocre one.
My understanding (and it may be urban legend) is that both NHL and MLB teams traditionally wore dark jerseys on the road, as their “road trips” frequently involved multiple stops in multiple cities, and they may not have had easy access to laundry facilities during those trips – and that it was more obvious that white uniforms were unlaundered than dark ones were.
“Meats” poll going pretty much exactly as I’d expect it. No real big surprises there.
Personally of the “exotic” meats I’ve had, I probably liked frog the best. It wasn’t quite “chickeny fish” or “fishy chicken” as I’ve heard most amphibian meat described before, I mean yes it was approximately the same size and texture of a chicken wing, but the flavor was very unique and it resembled neither chicken nor fish.
That said, the supermarket I go to clearly fries their wings in the same oil as the fish, so most of the time the fried chicken wings have a distinctly fishy tinge to them. It’s actually not bad, it definitely kind of grew on me eating through that first batch, and I’ve gone back and bought them again, it’s just a bit shocking the first time you taste it.
I generally prefer the color uniforms over the whites but my favorite sport is baseball and my favorite team is the Yankees. You can’t beat the iconic white pinstriped uniform.
If you want to see how a color blind person saw that football game, the following should show it
Based on the Yankees record this year, EVERYBODY can beat the “iconic white pinstriped uniform.”
It didn’t include antelope. 
I’ve had all but four of those: bear, other rodent (which is a key big category), snake, and camel.
I thought the bird and fish categories were awfully broad, though.
…ghost?
I didn’t answer the “why don’t you eat pork” poll, because I’ve had pork, and even had a little today. But I’ve cut way back on pork and rarely eat it for two reasons not listed:
- Pigs are awfully intelligent to eat
- Commercially reared pork is often raised in inhumane “factories”, where the pigs can’t socialize or root or do other normal piggy things.
(I don’t eat US veal, either, although i gather things are getting better for veal calves.)
I haven’t had the newest meat substitutes. I voted based on some that have been around for a decade or two, and which tasted mostly like salt to me.
I haven’t had the newest meat substitutes, either. But I’ve had all the meat alternatives mentioned here
And i like most of them, at least in the right preparation.
Tempeh
Jackfruit
Tofu
Beans
Seitan
Mushrooms
Cauliflower
Well, i really didn’t like jackfruit the one time i had it. But I’ve enjoyed all the others.
I like mushrooms, cauliflower, and beans just fine. But as themselves, not as meat substitutes.
The seitan and tempeh I think are the ones that tasted mostly like salt to me. They certainly didn’t taste like meat. I’ve had things I liked that were made with tofu, but it wasn’t the tofu that I liked; tofu to me is just sort of there. If it’s soaked with something that tastes good then it can taste good. It’s not remotely like meat.
I don’t think I’ve ever had jackfruit.
