I wonder if any remember the first time a 'normal' food that was cooked
differently effected them.

I'm Canadian...when I was a kid like most Canadian families my parents
would take us on Vacations/shopping trips to the States. Back then the
Canadian dollar was worth $1.10 US (late 50's early 60's). At around
age 10, I vaguely remember sitting at some store's lunch counter and
ordering a hot dog. This hot dog was pivital...I'd never had one that
tasted like this one did... The bun had been buttered and then
toasted....brand new concept to me...I proceeded to order hotdog after
hot dog. When eating hot dogs I still butter first and then toast the
bun.

A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

Always liked Mom's corn on the cobb. dripping with butter, but as a kid,
I couldn't wait until summer when we'd stay on an Amish farm in PA. It
was all organic. I remember we'd run into the cornfields, out of sight,
free and laughing and grab a few ears of sugar corn each, lay on the
ground and eat them raw! SO sweet and juicy, it was heaven! We were
worse pests than the crows in the corn.

Sounds like Nedicks... great dogs served on their unique white bread
mini loaf-like bun, griddled in butter on the outside like a grilled
cheese but without the cheese inside, then they slipped in the roller
griddled dog. They were scattered all over NY State, but used to be
you couldn't walk two blocks in Manhattan without coming to a Nedicks
stand, now I don't know if there is even one left, and if there is I
seriously doubt the food is the same. Used to be a real toss up which
dog was better, Nedicks or Nathan's Coney Is. I think the Nathan's
dogs won by a pubic hair but the Nedicks buns were a no brainer... the
crowd at the counters of either were deep so folks after waiting so
long tended to order more than they really intended just in case (knew
they weren't about to go back for seconds) you'd often see folks who
couldn't eat another bite toss the Nedicks dog away but scoff down that
bun... the entire Nathans dog, bun and all, ended up tossed to the
curb... but in Coney Island it wasn't littering, Neptune Ave. was sea
gull turf. Yoose kidding, dem Brooklyn boids were tough, why they'd
swoop down right in your face and snatch the food from yer lips,
really, no lie. Yoose didn't wanna mess with a gang of gulls, dem
boids carried shivs, switch blades... the big black ones packed zip
guns... I seed one mug a fella for his Shaffer beer. hehe

There's a tacky little bar in St. Paul (Gopher Bar) that uses that type of
bun. Their coneys have the grilled loaf, a hot dog, chopped onions, chili
without beans, shredded cheese, and mustard. I can no longer eat a chili
dog without mustard. Makes a world of difference. You'd like the nudie
painting that's hanging over the bar, Sheldon.

Excellent coneys ... but more than a couple of them will lay you up
for a day or so. :-p If anybody goes, make sure they know it's your
first time there!

I've never had problems with them. When we lived nearby, and ate their on
occasion, I used to order 2-3 of them. Without onions. Is that what made
the difference?

Maybe. My "usual" (for as often as I go there, which isn't all that
often anymore) is two with chili, onions, no cheese, and liberal
applications of mustard. The fries are well-made, too, but it's just
too much grease at one time for my system.

I figure French fries are a fairly normal food. A few years ago, I
tried some that were served at a fast food joint, covered with gravy
and cheese curds. What a disgusting combination.
I've heard that people in QC really like them that way though ;-).

That being said, the red coloured artifacts that they hot dogs north of
