An internet friend of mine from Belgium was nostalgic about some
exquisite sausages, served with a special sweet and tangy sauce, on a
warm, soft and fluffy roll, that she'd had while visiting the Grand
Canyon in the US.

Further questioning revealed that she'd eaten a hot dog with sweet
pickle relish.

I mailed her a couple of bottles of sweet pickle relish, which she
served up at an American Food party, featuring sausages (although not
hotdogs) on rolls, with mustard, imported ketchup and fried potatoes.

There are lots of good reasons to go to Hawaii. For one thing, it's
warm there right now! At least for me, getting a hot dog doesn't sound
like a good reason. I don't know about shaved ice, but I thought lots
of county fairs and such have those, during hot weather. Now doesn't
sound like a great time for that, either. A loco moco is just two
hamburger patties with fried eggs, and gravy. We have one of those
Hawaiian places near us:

It doesn't look very good to me (the loco moco). I was excited when the
place moved in, a couple of years ago. We've eaten there twice, and
maybe we'll go back, someday.

Evidently not. Plus she had a flare of her fibromyalgia and her SO had

Yep.

My sister has fibro as well, although she quit (for real) in 2001.

It's an ugly disorder. I hope she feels better!
See if she's interested in Vitamin therapy.

On a bed of rice. Kind of a heart attack over rice. It wouldn't be hard
to duplicate at home, but why would you bother? By far not the best

Oh, I forgot to mention that one can find dill relish, but almost
all of the ones in the normal supermarkets contain food coloring.
That irks me.

Ooops, I should have said "all" not "almost all"--and then there
is the one in WF with no vinegar. Cascadian Farms makes/made a
nice relish, but for some reason, I can't find any more.

Deliberately inhaling any kind of smoke is a problem. The carbon
monoxide, a product of combustion, binds to hemoglobin in the blood,
limiting its oxygen carrying capacity. And it takes hour, sometimes
days to clear. And then there's the free radicals.

I don't know how much if any tar and nicotine "clove cigarettes"
contain, so they may or may not have stimulant or adictive properties
but they most assuredly to affect the O2 carrying capacity of the blood
and hence endurance and ability to heal.

You see it in the skin first. It droops, wrinkles, sags, especially in
regions affected by repetitive movements. Around the mouth, for
instance. Smokers pucker, repeatedly, to suck smoke. A long-term
smoker's mouth looks like an anus, with starburst wrinkles all around
from puckering up combined with the skin's inability to rebuild itself
due to damage from lack of oxygen and exposure to free radicals.

at least toasted, if not buttered and toasted is nice on 'regular'-style

Shirley, you jest! I would find it very difficult to
actually say the words, "I'll have the $20 cup of coffee,"
because even though I know it's *not* coffee I *hate coffee
so much* that I just don't think I could say it. ;-) However,
even if this is true (I'm a tad skeptical) I'll more than
likely never again be in the Berkeley area. But you never
know. So what's wrong with the dogs?

I don't really care about the weather there. I'm not much
for warm weather. I would kinda like to see a volcano but
other than that and having a Puka Dog Hawaii doesn't really
have anything that interests me. I'd rather go to New England
in the fall, or Montana or some place like that.

AFAIC, I can't think of a better reason. I'm the kind of
person who will drive all the way to Cinncinati for chili.

Actually, it's "shave ice" (not shaved) and it's not the same
as the stuff they have at fairs. Maybe the ones in Calif. may
have real shave ice, but here in PA not so much - it's just
snow cones, which I like but are not the same. When I lived
in So. Cal. I used to go to a little Hawaiian place near El
Camino college that had real Hawaiian shave ice.

Served with rice. Yes, but I think it sounds interesting and
would like to try it. Perhaps, by itself, not a good enough
reason to go to Hawaii, but throw in the Puka dog and more than
enough reason.

Kate,

TRUE!

I don't remember the hot dogs. It's been so long! I vaguely remember them
as plain.

It was just about on the food horizon before I would dare add mustard,
relish, ketchup, onions or anything else to a hot dog. That probably better
explains plain. <VBG>

I don't think there was actually anything wrong with them, rather myself!

I survived on Smokehouse hamburgers (no cheese!) and IHOP pancakes drowning
in butter.

Best,

Andy

The puka dog looked good on TV with the fruity relishes and the novelty of
it's design but c'mon!?!

------------------------------------------------
I've had fibromyalgia for years and I've never smoked either. It's a
miserable condition, but I occasionally have remissions. Just something
I've learned to live with, I don't take anything for it.

About hot dogs: The best dog joint around me is a little hot dog shack
in Wilton, NH that sells plain old-fashioned hot dogs on
sliced-buttered-grilled buns for $1 including a drink. Can't beat the
price. My husband and I take a hot dog ride a couple of times a summer
and buy 4 dog-drink combos and a small home made baked beans. They
don't sell as many of these combos as they do the $3 and $4 dollar
specialty dogs with sausages, kraut, keilbasa, chili, etc. Just give me
a plain old dog with mustard, relish and a little onion and I'm happy.
Hubby eats his with ketchup (YUCK), if we're at home he eats his hot
dogs with mayonnaise.(DOUBLE YUCK)

Are you talking about the "Brighton Hot Dog Shop"? They are a north of
Pittsburgh chain. Great dogs too.

No, Brighton is a totally different place and much more recent.
There is (or was, at least) one in Cranberry Twp. I stopped
there once coming back from a trip up north. I guess the
dogs were okay, but the chili cheese dog was a disappointment
as they used cheese sauce on it and the chili wasn't all that
great. I almost always end up getting a chili cheese dog when
I go anywhere that has them. Maybe I should try a plain dog
with ketchup, relish, and onions next time.

Vienna doesn't always win hot dog ratings in Chicago even though it's
considered the benchmark. This past summer Chicago magazine rated
dogs joints and they picked Portillos. He makes his own dogs and they
claim there's more garlic in them. He's got close to 50 stores now
and there's even two in California.

I've had grilled buns before at cookouts and it's ok but the butter
seems weird.

Someday I may just be driven to doing that.

It is probably better not to see the grilled buns as most
desirable, because you almost never find them.

Coney Island back in Fort Wayne, which has no connection or
resemblance to the place in New York, other than the name. It's
downtown, it's been there since 1914 and they make these smallish hot
dogs on steamed buns with mustard, onions and this thin, cumin based
reddish sauce stuff that makes the inside of your car smell like an
armpit for three days if you are a devotee of dashboard dining and you
don't immediately throw away all coney related materials after eating.
But God are they ever good. There's nothing else like them. They're
not chili dogs or those Greek coney things you sometimes find in
Michigan.
