Culinary catastrophe
“I’ll have the bacon-dog, please and then just drop me off at the hospital.” That’s the only way to order a bacon-wrapped hot dog! Denis and I went to our local street festival yesterday and when I saw this sign, I wondered what the thinking was behind this culinary catastrophe. Let’s see… we know hot dogs are unhealthy, but what can we do to make them do even more damage? Put them in a white bread bun? Done. Dip it in corn batter and fry it? Been there, done that. Here’s an idea. Let’s wrap it in bacon! Genius!
There were a lot of food stands with things like cotton candy, funnel cakes, and even some food trucks. I have to admit the smells at any outdoor festival can be intoxicating. The first thing that wafted my way was caramel corn and then it was barbeque. I decided on barbeque but they ran out so I went with my second choice. Call me a hypocrite because I had a Polish kielbasa dog, and I only have one thing to say: Thie kiełbasy było pyszne! Hey, at least it wasn’t wrapped in bacon!
I think the bacon wrapped hot dog should be deep fried of course!
Love the festivals but I rarely eat there…went to one this summer that had alligator bites. Yuck!

Hey Kathy, hope you are doing okay 🙂
Talk about alligator bites. There’s a place here that serves alligator tail and I think snake as well…double yuck!, no wait make that a triple yuck!…lol…
Take care,

The best way to go is to cook it yourself that way you know what you get. No guess work.
There’s nothing wrong with occasional junk food and it looks like you eat right most of the time. Frankly, I love a hot dog and a beer (isn’t that the classic American combo?) but I don’t do that every day. But I wish I could. But I can’t. But I still wish I could!
Hey Jenny, sounds like you enjoyed your day 🙂
I went to a county fair a couple weekends ago with my mom, sister and niece. I enjoyed a funnel cake and cotton candy, with a sprite…
Don’t really care for hotdogs and with Bacon? I don’t think that would’ve got me to attempt to even try it. Yuck!…
Oh and Jenny, I didn’t think you were being out of line in what you said…
It doesn’t hurt to treat yourself every now and then 🙂
My favorite ride at the fair is the Thunder Bolt…
Take care all and have a great week…
