Answers:
If you ever saw the process of hot dog or bologna production, believe me, YOU WOULD NEVER BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH IT!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

Both your friend and dad are right: Anything and everything that cannot be sold to the general public is in them, including but NOT limited to:

Pig Ears
Pig/Beef Snout
Salivary Glands
Lymph nodes
Intestine
Connective tissue


I could go on and on, but suffice it to say, that all of this is ground up into a homogeneous paste and forced into edible semi permeable dialysis tubing (that's the outside) then cooked and packaged!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

So, in essence (pun intended), they use every thing from the squeak to the tail!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

They are all different!. The beef ones may say all beef, but technically any part of the cow is beef, so I wouldn't be surprised it they had weird parts of the cow!. The basic weiners, with a mixture of chicken and pork: Read on the ingredients and if it says "mechanically seperated chicken" (or pork) then they are definitely made with all the parts that weren't used any other way!. My stepdad used to work in a factory that did everything from killing the chickens, to butchering, to making hot dogs and chicken nuggets!. (some chicken nuggets are made out of this same stuff!. the cheaper ones that aren't all white meat!.) He told me that after they have taken the parts of the chicken they can sell, they take what is left (this would include everything but the feathers that you wouldn't find on a whole roasting chicken in the supermarket)!. They throw all these "parts" into a big grinder that grinds them up!.!.!.somehow (I forget how he said) they sort the bones out of it all and then the "meat'' thats left gets mixed with some other ingredients (seasoning, starch, etc!.) then they shape the hot dogs by putting this mixture into a tube (I won't say what THAT is) and they cook it and remove the skins before packaging!. So that's what a hot dog is made of! (I don't eat them anymore, btw, since I heard this story!)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Contrary to popular belief, hot dogs are not made from left-over meat laying around on the floors of meat-packing houses!. Whether it is pork or beef that is stuffed into a hot dog, the meat trimmings are carefully selected just like the meat you buy in your grocer's coolers!.

Most recipes for hot dogs combine together a tasty blend of favorite meats (pork, beef, chicken, or turkey), meat fat, a cereal filler which could be either bread crumbs, flour, or oatmeal, a little bit of egg white, and a mouth-watering array of herbs and seasonings including garlic, pepper, ground mustard, nutmeg, salt, and onion!.

Once these ingredients are grinded together, the stuffing is squeezed into sausage casings!. Many of the hot dogs sold in stores are enclosed in synthetic cellulose casings, but most home-made hot dogs are made out of natural animal intestines!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They are made from all the shite of animals!. Mechanically recovered meat urghhh all the real bad stuff mixed together really finely so you can't tell what it is!. Your Dad knows best don't touch them they are the grossest thing ever!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it depends!. if you get all beef then that is exactly what it is!.!.!. beef!. if you just get weiners!.!. then you are getting a mixture of scraps from turkey, chicken and beef!.!. maybe pork but just read the ingredients and it will tell you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Look at the ingredients list of your favorite brand!. USDA would not allow the used of such items for human consumption!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Unless they're Nathans dogs your dad is right,they're expensive but good and for real,all a regular cheap dog is,is bologna,basically!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

your dad is right!. they are made from pig parts that cannot be used in ham or bacon!. they now make other kinds of hot dogs though, like turkey hot dogs, which is just made from turkey!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A hot dog is everything that you cant sell in supermarkets(ie!.Pig butts) ground up with flavoring!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A whole load of crap!. It was on 'you are what you eat' once (if you live in the UK)!. the only part I remember was connective tissue and pigs ears!. Yummers!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
