Hot dog bun rant

[Torvy]

Buns are no problem at our local Brat fest. So far this weekend, 86k brats sold!

Brat Fest | World's Largest Brat Fest | Madison's Favorite Spring CeleBRATion!

Which brand of brats...this is an important Wisconsin question.

I never had that problem with Natures Own Butter Buns. We buy them for burgers and brats. The Butter Bread is really good too!!!!!

I can't say I've ever had anything bad from Nature's Own.

Is that all you ever have to say when someone complains about something you don't care about?

Yeah, they're first world problems, and frankly they're the type of problems I'd rather have over starvation, disease, impotence, collective farming, etc.

Did you notice the "Big Grin" symbol? Just making a funny comment, and I never said it before.

I have first world problems, too. All first worlders do.

Well, tail between my legs, I apologize. There is someone on here who has used the phrase a few times, and to my chagrin I mistook you for him.

They are a mainstream brand now. You can get them nationwide. Usingers and Klements are harder to find outside the area. We got a lot of Klements when we lived up there. Our backdoor neighbor was a big shot with them. My favorite was stuff from a little meat market in Menomonee Falls (Karl's). I miss that about Wisconsin.

I have been wondering about the hot dog buns too?

50 years ago, they had no problem slicing them. Now, they don't seem to have a clue?

50 years ago they calibrated the machines on a regular basis.

Maybe AI is not as accurate as the human eye.

To find them outside of New England you'll have to search for frankfurter buns; I didn't realize there were any other type of hot dog buns until I moved out of Maine, that was a reality check lol.

Even here in New England they can be hard to find. Some stores carry them, others not.
At least they seem to be more accurately sliced than the "other" kind.

I love the natural casing dogs that have a "snap" when you bite them. One of the Kroger stores near me carries some, but I don't remember the brand.

I have some of my deer meat made into different types of sausage each year. One of the benefits of hunting in the Texas Hill Country is you have plenty of options for deer processors that know how to make sausage.

You can buy those at butcher counters. Not the packaged kind.

The buns are made by machine, so they are always going to be within a reasonably close size.

And, not all of them are sliced way off center. So, I'm not sure what's happening?

Perhaps when the cutters are being changed out, the replacements are not being centered?

These are great wrapped in a warm tortilla.

Beef Texas Sausage - Meyers' Elgin Sausage

All beef coarse-ground sausage. This is a medium spiced sausage, not as mild as our Garlic or Original, but not as spicy as Hot, Tejano or Jalapeno & Cheese. Very popular at the grocery stores, this is a sausage that is great for grilling or in recipes that call for a milder smoked sausage.

Use a tortilla.

Heck, in Australia we simply use a slice of bread (buttered or not) with BBQ or tomato sauce (+ grilled onions if that's your preference). Mind you, that's usually with a snag (sausage), but a 'hotdog' would suffice.

A 'natural skin' saveloy is my preference in a bakery produced long-roll... which I slice myself.

I really like the Meyers sausage, but I've been an even bigger fan of Southside Market sausage (we've called them 'hot guts' forever) going on 70 years!

While we're complaining about generic buns; they are also so dang small! Can't hardly get a proper load of toppings atop yer dog anymore.

While stationed in bonnie Scotland, in the mid 80's, the chow hall had buns that resembled a sub sandwich bun. I believe the civilian cooks made them in house.

Wife made taco's last night and we had them in these little taco boats, look like min cement tubs...
