Reading an ad for the up-coming Orange County Fair, I noticed they were touting A New Food for the Fair! It was billed as a Zucchini Weenie and consisted of a hot dog inside a hollowed-out zucchini which was then battered and deep fried!
How ghastly is that?
I googled the phrase and came across a woman whose mother had eaten one and didn't like it. She now fixes them like this: cut a small zucchini in half, put a hot dog that's been sliced down the middle -- one-half hot dog per zucchini half- brush with olive oil and grill on the barbecue. If you have to eat traif like this, I guess it's not as bad (or caloric) as the original.
Still...in other news, July is National Hot Dog month and the US consumed 150 million of them on the 4th of July alone. Most favored topping is mustard. The World Record for eating them is 53 1/2 Nathan's hot dogs with buns in 12 minutes. No comment!
