what are hotdogs made out of?

Answer 1

Lips and A$$holes of pigs, chickens and cows

Answer 2

It could be made from beef, pork, chicken, turkey using muscle, fat, connective tissues, diaphragms, organs, skin, bones, spices, preservatives, and the government allows a certain amount of foreign matter such as rodent hairs . The good news is that it's cooked before it gets to you. The bad news is that if you like canned tuna fish better, the government allows more rat hairs in that than hot dogs.

Answer 3

First, let me say that I have a degree in the culinary arts. Hot dogs come in many different varieties. The more premium you buy the better quality and ingredients you get. The more "gourmet" ones are select pieces of ground premium pieces of meat, seasoned, and pre-cooked. The less are ground up pieces of left-over whatever. The USDA does have restrictions on what can be put in hot dogs though, they cannot put in snouts, hoofs, privates, eyes, or other things of the like.

Grilled hot dogs

A hot dog is typically distinguishable from other sausages by its smaller size and relative lack of spicing. A regular hot dog of the kind popular at sporting events and readily available in supermarkets is roughly 6 inches in length (15 cm), though thickness and length can vary. Twelve-inch (30-cm) or "footlong" hot dogs are popular in some regions. These hot dogs are typically lightly spiced and their smaller size translates into the product being more commonly eaten by children than other sausages. There is wide regional variation in hot dog preferences and many local brands, as well as nationally distributed brands that tend to market similar products to all regions.

[edit] Ingredients

There is no fixed specification for hot dog meat, with pork and beef being the most popular. Less expensive hot dogs typically contain chicken, due to the low cost and availability of mechanically separated chicken, and some pork. Hot dogs are generally regarded as unhealthy insofar as most have high sodium, fat and nitrate content. Contents can also be questionable, with cheaper types of hot dogs having been known to contain snouts, ears and blended organs. In recent years, due to changing dietary preferences in the U.S., manufacturers have turned to turkey, chicken, or vegetarian meat substitutes as well as lowering the salt content.

In general, if a manufacturer produces two different hot-dog-type sausages, "wieners" tend to contain pork, and to be the blander of the two, while "franks" tend to be all-beef, and more strongly seasoned. This is particularly true of Oscar Mayer

Answer 5

Hot dogs are traditionally made from beef, pork or a combination of those meats. Unlike many other sausages (which may be sold cooked or uncooked), hot dogs are always cooked before being offered commercially. Barring spoilage, they may be safely eaten without further cooking or reheating but are often unpalatable that way. Vegetarian sausages made from meat analogues can also be made into hot dogs.

Answer 6

most hot dogs have a combination of meats such as pork, beef, chicken, or turkey, a cereal filler could either be bread crumbs, oatmeal, or flour, also meat fat, a bit of egg white, and possibly an array of seasonings and herbs like garlic (unlikely), pepper (are your sure?), ground mustard (really?), nutmeg (unexpected), salt (of course), and onion (always in powdered form most likely)
then they grind it all together and put it into a sausage casing, many are enclosed in synthetic cellulose casings, but homade hot dogs usually use natural animal intestines. after that a precooking happens where hot dog links are put into boiling water for 15 minutes. i hope that answered your question.

Answer 7

You can buy all beef hotdogs, but most are made of chicken, pork, and fillers.

Answer 8

Beef

I only buy all beef, the other ones are made of all the left over parts, you do not even want to know , because you will never want to eat one again.

Answer 10

Paula, I don't think you really want to know. Just remember that beef refers to every part of the cow from nose to tail. Same for a pig. Think about it.
