    A couple of links later and it was all entrails etc_pale_ _pale_ Now I know this is daft 'cos I love liver, kidneys, quite like heart, but it's that word...... entrails. Makes me shudder:o

    Mmmm....entrails. :drool:
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I don't like the idea of mechanically claimed meat but I must admit the idea of nothing being wasted is one I agree with.

    I probably wouldn't have even noticed that on the tin to be honest, and would have eaten them if DF hadn't got there first!
    I don't believe and I never did that two wrongs make a right

    My stepdad was a butcher in the 50's/60's so as you can imagine, you name it we've eaten it. Won't go into details as just the word 'entrails' (luverly :rotfl:)seems to put some off

    Hotdogs produced this way look positively sterile compared to some of the bits and pieces, produced by hand, that I've enjoyed - bring 'em on! :D

    It may not be to everyone's taste but it hardly warrants a poll and discussion does it? :p


    It's a better topic than some of the threads on the OS board.:p

    Personally speaking I would donate them to the school harvest festival, although my OH would eat them given half a chance.

    Merlot.x.

    The way I see it, they can't be any worse than haslet. And I like haslet. :D

    Oooohhh, haslet!!

    I haven't had haslet for yonks!

    Need to hunt some down, and gather it up :D

    Thinking about it, haggis, haslet and hash (corned beef variety!!! :o ) are a few of my favourite things.

    Maybe my cookery book has got stuck at the letter 'H'?:o

    i wouldn't eat them, not beacuse of how they are made etc, but i just don't like the 'smokey' flavour all hotdogs seem to have! however, my children seem to think they are the best thing in the world! x

    I'm with you on this one, loocyloo! I can't abide 'that smokey taste' - but my grandkids would bite my hands off for them!! So my tin of hotdogs would go straight to my daughter for her little angels.

    I'd probably add them to the box I collect through the year for the Salvation Army Christmas appeal. If I buy a few things each month the cost gets spread out. That's if the kids didn't spot them first.

    I'd give them away, because Hot dogs give me the squits, TMI, I know, but you did ask!
