Pop Up Hotdogs - first 50 dogs are on us

[Corax]

i love hotdogs and would pay £10 for a decent frankfurter in bun and frites.

Seriously?

I'm clearly not earning enough if paying a tenner for a jolly smashing hotdog is normal.

Is this not a forum for debate anymore?

Strictly speaking no, it isn't:

I hope that ten pound hotdog includes some fucking onions. You could buy a field of onions for a tenner. You could trademark the very concept of onions and have it stamped as yours by monsanto.


possibly.

 

[Riklet]

ten quid is more than festival rip off prices to starving fuckers on an md comedown.

better be fucking huge. and amazing. or maybe it's just a special OMG LONDON deal. ie, not a good deal.

oh, and insert ''we wouldn't have had this kind of thread tolerated in ye days of yore" post here.

When i think 'hotdog' im thinking decent hotdog a la Oktoberfest with triple fried chips and curry sauce, mayo etc. For a tenner im talking decent hotdog meal....for bog standard but thoroughly decent street hotdog (hopefully with fried onions) i guess i would pay £3.50 - 5 quid.

You're a bit weirdly obsessed about this band. You know they had to raise the money themselves to get to the US, yes?

You can't compare the price of a gourmet burger and a hot dog.
I'd want two or three hot dogs to equal the satisfaction of one fancy burger.

yes you can. They're practically the same thing, except the dog is longer an thinner. The concept - a shaped minced meat patty in a bun with sauce and stuff- is identical. If the quality and size is comparable, then so is the price. Which is only a few quid more than McDonald's anyway.

except the meat is many times more expensive.

is it? How do you know? I dont think these are justr saveloys they're selling. Best not be at that price anyway...

pork is always many times cheaper than beef.

 

[killer b]

nonsense. I don't have the prices for my nearest artisan butcher () but at sainsburys a pack of pork mince is £3, and a pack of beef mince £4.50.

Then there's the extra processing costs - yer dogs need skins & smoking which - especially done on an 'artisan' small scale - all add up.

a high end burger place doesn't use supermarket beef mince. they use far more expensive cuts freshly prepared onsite. this is why you can eat a nice juicy medium rare burger.

even the best pork that's been turned into sausages and smoked is going to be far less, weight for weight, than the beef burger.

its such a daft argument.

It's £10 for a hotdog, shake and fries.

 

[killer b]

whatever. I just think it's a bit hypocritical of you to be moaning on here about this guys prices when you're drooling over some other bearded cunt's burgers elsewhere.

Its because, as others have said, a hotdog in any form is cheap dirty food. A quality burger is basically a steak.

 

[killer b]

that's bollocks though - a sausage is as high quality as the ingredients you put into it. Just like your burger.

sure, maybe the pig has been eating diamonds

 

[killer b]

Oh god, whatever. Your hipster thing isn't a hipster thing at all, because you're into it. I get it.

 

[joustmaster]

i have no idea what that means

 

[ska invita]

I agree with KB. The reason sausage meat, like mince meat, is considered dodgey is because any old shit can by minced up to put in it. If you rear the animals with care etc. and only choose the finest cuts to make the mince, then they can both be high quality. Or are you saying cows are intrinsically better than pigs for some reason?

You cant trust what meat you are sold at best of times, mince is particularly sus. It was food poisining from cow mince that in a large part turned me veggie

I'm just saying cow costs more than pig. And with the expensive cuts, even more so.
thats all!

+ A MILKSHAKE! everyone is forgetting the milkshake. this isn't a bad deal.

 

[rutabowa]

well, obviously we've never met before...

alright maybe you could eat it. but it is defintely more food than a single "gourmet burger" (i say never having been to gourmet burger)

you bastard how dare you

 

[rutabowa]

i have no strong feelings and will never go, by the way. it just gets me everyone who is going "£10 HOTDOG?!!" when it is not just for a hotdog, you get all other stuff.

 

[joustmaster]

I really want a hot dog now.
