....is this entry from *boingboing*

<http://www.boingboing.net/2009/04/21/freaky-food-fun-inse.html>

dried spaghetti jammed into hot dog sections and boiled. no, it's not to
my taste, but those of you with younger ankle-biters in your household or
under your temporary dominion may want to give it a try.

the *livejournal* link in the *boingboing* has two better pictures. the
text there is in russian for the most part, so go figure.

Boiled hot dogs <shiver>. Maybe if you used spaghettini or
vermicelli that cooked really quick.

Whoa, those look really ... creepy. But funny, too. I can see they'd
be a hit with kids.

Ok, that's highly amusing. ;-)
Served with a tomato sauce, they'd be good for a halloween party!

I may just try making them for the nephews...

SQ - check the livejournal russian site. Even without this, though,
what part of cooking with hot dogs should be the clue that it is not a
gourmet meal?

Nieces coming this weekend. Guess what's for dinner.

Lots of commnets at the boingboing site. Trying to decide on
condiments. I vote for spray cheeze. Is that stuff still made?

Oh yeah, watched a guy buy a whole lot of cheese in a spray can the
other day. Didn't ask what he wanted it for as he also bought a box of
saltines. Probably for his lunch.

on chicharones.

That's the link I clicked. I saw pretty pictures of hairy hot dogs
and bunch of a funny looking letters.

I'm sorry I gave you that impression by using those sophisticated
Italian words ending in "i'".

There's nothing wrong with it not being a gourmet meal. It's about
boiling the flavor out of perfectly good mystery-meat tube-steaks
and making them a tasteless pile of plop. When you could cook them
any other way and make them downright tasty.

I say grill the hot dogs and then bard with the cooked noodles.
Easy as that!

> Nieces coming this weekend. Guess what's for dinner.

I take it you're Russian. And not because of the hot dogs.

Why in the world would anyone pollute a perfectly good chicharone? When
I was a wee lad in the backwoods of SE Texas we made our own. Was a side
effect of rendering the lard out for later use. Chicharones and also
cracklings, can still get locally made cracklings but these Cajuns don't
seem to make chicharones. Kroger brand is actually better tasting than
the big brands, buy a bag every once in awhile. Got to get my protein
and fat allowance from something.

Take a quick look at recipes for "Atkins Fat Fast".
Chicharones are also good with cream cheese.

As a chicharone aficionado I stick by my initial statement. To me they
are best eaten as they are, no stuff shmeared on them. YMMV
