"Anatomy of a hot dog."
"Hot dogs typically contain muscle meat trimmings from pork or beef. Contrary to legend, they do not contain animal eyeballs, hooves or genitals, according to the Hot Dog Council’s Janet Riley.
But the government does allow them to contain pig snouts and stomachs, cow lips and livers, goat gullets and lamb spleens. If they have these byproducts, the label should spell out which ones, a U.S. Department of Agriculture spokeswoman said.
Check the label of a name-brand hot dog, and chances are fat provides around 80 percent of total calories, more than double what’s often advised. What’s more, saturated fat and trans fat — the fats most strongly linked with artery-clogging — are common ingredients, in some cases providing at least half the fat content."
So why did god have to make them taste so damn good?
And what the hell is a 'goat gullet'? That doesn't sound any kinda right....

but they are so goddamn good. who cares what they are made of?
my grandma fed me linguisa, a portuguese sausage made out of cow tongue (mostly) from birth. i found out what lingua meant in 9th grade spanish and asked grandma if there was a connection. she was like, "yeah. duh."
my first instinct was revulsion. the reaction i had been trained to have was the crying game reaction, puking scraping my tongue whatever. but instead i realized that i plain loved the stuff, and had eaten probably 50 pounds of it in my life.
we are sold the illusion of clean food. your salad has dead bugs and rat shit in it. your burger has lips, butts, and nuts. the act of consuming is a filthy thing. may as well eat some tasty ass hot dogs.
who wants mustard?
