Randomguy Posted December 3, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 3, 2018 Did you know that hot dogs are salty? They are. I had madras lentils from TJ's for breakfast, and had some cocktail weenies left over from RO feedings, and thought I would toss some in rather than see them go bad. Wow, the salt is overpowering! So anyway, there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted December 3, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 3, 2018 I never noticed hot dogs being super salty. I'm sure they have a lot of sodium in them, but not what I would call "overpowering". Maybe cocktail wieners are saltier than regular dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted December 3, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 3, 2018 I agree that most hotdogs are loaded with salt Costco Sells "Amylu Roasted Garlic & Asiago Chicken Sausage" - basically a 25% oversized chicken hotdog that's very good and tasty and fits on cheap hot dog buns. There are 16 of them in a 40 oz. package. They aren't cheap - $14.49, I think, but they're much better than the junk that most hotdogs are made of. They're only 120 Cal. with 370 mg of sodium per link - about 1/2 an avg. piece of KFC chicken. Compare 370 mg. Na in a 71 g. (2.5 oz) Amylu dog (148 mg/oz) with one hotdog results for: Hebrew National, 49 g (1.7 oz), 450 mg Na (265 mg/oz) Bar S Jumbo "America's #1 Hot Dog," 57 g (2 oz), 510 mg Na (255 mg/oz) Ball Park Hot Dogs, 57 g (2 oz), 550 mg.

Randomguy Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted December 3, 2018 I think mine were extra salty because they have no nitrates in them. Regular hotdogs are that way, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted December 3, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 3, 2018 If hot dogs are 25% salt that means at least you know what 25% of the hotdog is made from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't generally think I eat a lot of salt, but I guess I do when I choose something like this. When you have a kid, finger food is more likely to be eaten, less likely to be spilled, etc. When kids eat consistently and protein is included, their moods are more even and they are better overall. This is why I have bought hot dogs at all in the last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more she told me how good they are, the grossed out I got. You didn't find it comforting? Yeah, it was a bit gross. I suspect that any meat product is gonna end up looking like that. I do want a hotdog now, though, and I respect them for putting a non-tarted up face on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted December 4, 2018 Share #20 Posted December 4, 2018 I've known folks who make their own sausage at home. Premium cuts of meat, etc. When I was young, I saw a machine that would strip all the meat from bones and produce a meat paste. They would cut the meat off the bone like a butcher and throw the bones into the machine. The machine would crush the bones and run the product through a sophisticated sieve. Walla! Boneless meat paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
