I never understand why people say things like 'you'll never eat one again after seeing this!'. What do people actually think are in processed foods? 'It contains pig foreskin!' they say. 'Good' say I. 'I don't want any of the pig going to waste like'.

Ancient hunter gatherers (and many modern ones for that matter) would use the whole of the animal for food, clothing, bowstrings, glue and all sorts really.

We only get to be so picky because we're spoilt.

And in an era of vacuum packed meat, plenty of people want to pretend the flesh they're eating isn't actually an animal.

I cant see any reason a hot dog, chips & milkshake cant cost a tenner? I mean, its not cheap, but it's hardly a bank breaking meal is it?

yes it's not too crazily bad. £3.50 for hotdog, £3.50 for milkshake, £3 for chips? i probably wouldn't buy it but it's not crazy.

 

[ddraig]

That'll be why I specifically typed out the mis-spelt word in my post then

Do you struggle to understand things as much in real life as you do on here?

my mistake. shut up!

how can a hotdog be made from only the best ingredients?
it doesn't make sense.
high quality cuts of meat mashed to a paste with a load of fat and preservatives?

Ah, but they're the best quality fat and preservatives.

Don't get me wrong.. I do enjoy eating filth food like this from time to time. Its just crackers to claim anything made using an emulsioning process is artisan

[DotCommunist]

ah the return of the comedy priced hotdog. Has anyone eaten one yet? can you taste the moneysworth?

I bet they are favoured by people with humourous facial hair

 

[rutabowa]

it is £7.50 for a hotdog and beer in Wetherspoons and you only get a sprinkling of chips. this isn't so very far off that, and wetherspoons is the benchmark for cheapest food.

 

[DotCommunist]

wetherspoons prices vary on location- you'd get laughed out of town trying 7.50 for a half portion of chips and a hotdog round here

I have noticed an awful lot of such people in Brixton of late.....

 

[DotCommunist]

also the beer accounts for half of rutobawas comparison, so the hotdog and chips would actually be about three quid which is reasonable.

they do vary, this is a london one. however you haven't mentioned the beer that comes with it, also the hotdog is huge. and the fact is that this place is also in london and isn't much more expensive, and i bet it is a lot nicer.

you've got to take the deal as a whole (hence it being a "deal"; since when is a pint £3.50 in wetherspoons anyway!); and so as a deal it's not much more. Just you get a milkshake instead of a beer, and they're about the same price.

cant stand the things.

how does a milkshake justify being the same price as a pint of beer

 

[joustmaster]

Is that aimed at me?

 

[JTG]

no

Or fingertaches...

of course

Artisan

 

[DotCommunist]

hand crafted hotdogs. Prepared lovingly, with a squirt of the chefs own sauce

 

[killer b]

jesus christ. shut the fuck up about the price. it's a tenner which is a bit on the expensive side, but not actually that much more than a fucking Macdonalds. Abuse these tools for their hackneyed artisan pop-up cuntery by all means, but complaining about the price is idiocy.

 

[DotCommunist]

I'd rather starve than pay a tenner for a hotdog and chips

 

[Thora]

Artisan sausages sound rubbish for hot dogs anyway - you want delicious, pink, rusky frankfurters.

 

[JTG]

'Sourced' from a supplier who raised the piggies on cake and free range fucking champagne before serving them breakfast in bed just before they willingly trotted into the fucking abbatoir and offered themselves up so they could be served to cunts who make a living from selling ukeleles and fairy cakes.

They're a similar price to Gourmet Burger. Although at least there and McDonalds you'll get a seat. Whenever I've attempted to eat a hotdog sans chair the mustard/ketchup/onion combo always ends up down my leg.

 

[Corax]

MacDonalds is overpriced shite as well. Doesn't mean they have a monopoly on it though.
