Nope never heard of them before. Personally I like beef hotdogs, but I will eat the pork ones if that is all someone has.

I think red dogs are a Maine thing, pumba. I know I had never seen them in my life before moving to Maine. They do tend to freak out those who have never seen them, don't they?

 

[pumba]

no additives

 

[Pooh67_68]

Well if they have an all beef one than I will look for them, maybe some store around here might carry them. Also there are quite a few people in my family who will try anything once (except my DH and my sister).

I had one at the airport in Copenhagen. It was interesting, but I ended up letting DH eat it and praying that SAS gave us a decent meal on the flight home! The Burger King was on the other side of the security area otherwise I would have been there

I had heard of them but never had them until last summer when we visited family in Rochester. I think they're a regional thing. I'm not a big hot dog eater but I did try them and they were good. I little spicy which I like. Our Wegmans now carries them. I guess because they're based in Rochester.

I used to eat red hotdogs at my Grandparents house in Nebraska all the time when I was younger. They are still my favorite. I can't find them around here though. Wish I could order some and have them shipped!

We used to get them at gas stations on our way to Florida on family vacations when I was little. Loved them! Those and boiled peanuts always meant vacation to me.

If you're talking about the fatter, red-cased hotdogs, in our area they were called "frankfurters" and the smaller, regular hotdogs "wieners." I think they're still around in this area, haven't looked for them lately.

 

[Wagamama]

I've had those in Denmark and Sweden. YUMMM!!! I wonder if they have any around here?

 

[Auggietina]

There is no better hot dog than a red hot dog!

That's all we eat!

Love em!

 

[BedKnobbery2]

I just want to point out, when pumba says red, she means RED! The skins on these dogs are dyed a bright, bright red.

 

[Blondie]

I remember seeing them in the grocery store when we lived in Maine, and attending many a barbeque where they were served. I did give one a try, and it's the snap that I didn't like.

Now I don't eat them at all.

 

[siouxi31]

I cannot eat a hotdog that snaps (ironically which is how the fresh hot dogs are). There's something about casings that snap which gives me the willies.

 

[edcrbnsoul]

Red hot dogs are the best "snap" mmmmm!

 

[powellrj]

we have those in Indiana too, I will usually cook them with sour kraut when we have them!
