So if all hotdogs are hotdogs of other hotdogs, there must be a hotdog that was never a hotdog of another hotdog.

That hotdog is God.

EDIT: Hotgod

Sausages may be housed in animal intestines, but I'd be surprised if hotdogs were. I think hotdogs retain their shape just from the pre-cooking process they all go through before being packaged. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are only about 1/3rd wrong (but mostly correct)! Hotdogs absolutely have casings, sometimes natural animal intestine of pork or sheep, other organs, and collagen casings --those are edible, and stay on the 'dogs. Others use things like cellulose, and various filler type ingredients to create a casing, and those are stripped off before shipping. If you don't know the ingredients, you can usually tell if it's natural casing from the extra stiffness in the bite. And they're usually more expensive, lol

Oh wow, some are stripped off before shipping? So cheap American-style hotdogs such as Oscar Mayer would be an example of that?

American-style hotdog

What other kind of hot dog is there? That's just a hot dog.

This makes me very glad not to eat meat. No one's making me a hotdog if I can help it!

You’re just making yourself a vegan hotdog.

Aren't you only a vegan hotdog if you consent to be one, therefore making your meat vegan?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

The casing will always be non vegan for us, though.

Even if we don’t eat a hotdog, isn’t everything in our guts a hotdog or is it more of a haggis?

Doesn't this apply to all kinds of sausage?

I find the far end of recycled hotdogs to taste like shit. But hey, you do you Thomas Aquinas 🌭

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

If only TA knew of lunchmeats, which hot dogs are categorized under, he could have really stirred up some shit.

Aquinas once spoke of the mythical hotdog of the hills.

soon that will be a reality and we will be crowned its kings. Or better than kings... Dogs!
