I just have to ask this... what the heck is Hotdog Salad?

Dave Homewood · **Posted:** Thu Jul 07, 2011 5:12 am

I have been listening to and enjoying many of the shows on Warbird Radio lately. Some of the guests are very interesting people. But something has been bugging me for a while. There are adverts in all the shows for something called Tommy's Hotdog Salad. What the heck is this?

Apparently it comes in a can?

I did a Google and cannot find any reference to this delicacy.

And the adverts state "Made with 100% hotdog meat". Huh? I thought hotdog meat was snouts and entrails, I never knew it was a meat on its own.

Here in NZ hotdogs are either a battered sausage on a stick dipped in tomato sauce, or they follow the American tradition of being a smaller German-style sausage in a long bun. Both are great. But in a salad, out of a tin? My mind is boggling. Is this an in-joke hoax advert or is it a real product? I'd like to see a photo of it please.

It is a delicacy in some parts of the U.S... :shock:

I think Matt Jolley is from the South East...

Not sure what you're referring too on Warbird Radio? Just a guess,

I thought it was what happens to a "hotdog" when, "Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash".

Hmmmm...sounds like the 'delicacy' some guys used to make on deployment overseas: Cup O' Dog....a hot dog boiled in a cup in the microwave.

Tex-Mex Cup O' Dog if you tossed a little salsa into the cup.

Thanks Dave, I'd just eaten a pork pie for my lunch when I read that! :vom:

Oh, the joys of being back in the UK for a while - pork pies, cornish pasties and proper bacon!

And, of course, lots and lots of Spitfires. :spit

the recipe is available on line (actually several) basically shredded cabbage, shredded romaine lettuce, diced garlic pickles, a few other condiment type spices and sliced lengthwise dogs seared in a frying pan, pile the cabbage lettuce mix on a plate and layer the sliced dogs on top.
Not sure about a brand called TOMMYS, but can't see canned slaw and lettuce being really tasty. :roll:

Huh....hot dog salad? Don't know about that one, but I can tell you about tater salad.

I can remember being similarly confused about "Buffalo" Wings until I tried and liked them.

Now why did that old buffalo wings commercial featuring Jessica Simpson just flash across my mind?

Anyone want a little brain salad surgery? (you'd need to be a Dr. John fan)

Tommy's Hotdog Salad is apparently a corporation with VERY deep pockets, intent on putting all other hotdog salad vendors under by the end of the year, predominantly through their unprecedented advertising campaign.
