No it’s gotta be a hot dog I can cook in the microwave because of reasons

>>20509524
no hotdog cooked in a microwave shall prosper

>>20509514
hebrew national

I grew up poor and all we could afford is bar s and they're perfectly fine. I prefer them over some of the more expensive ones. problem with bar s is they aren't bun length and your first and last bite will be mostly bread.

>>20509514
Grew up eating Bar S because that's what we could afford and they're ok for bottom of the barrel meat paste dogs that you could nuke in a microwave. Much later in grad school, I upgraded to Oscar Mayer with sliced white bread instead of buns to stretch my dollar. Now I'm a snob who only eats all-beef dogs but I never forgot my roots.

>>20509514
I've tried both these and Oscar Mayer many years ago. I actually preferred Bar S.

I like Bar S in the micro but Gwaltney are my very favorite, exceptional on the grill but acceptable nuked too, in my area Brighleaf reds are king tho.

>>20509514
What kind of poor person has never bought hot dogs in their life? How poor we talking here?

Just go to Five Guys, the hot dog is only $7.79 (doesn’t include fries).

>>20509557
Don't they sell bun length Bar S?

>>20509514
A hotdog is a hotdog. You want warm meat in a casing? These'll do just fine.

>>20509514
kirkland PURE beef hotdogs

>>20509514
If you like Eckrich hotdogs, my favorite, then you'll like these. Once cooked they taste similar and have similar bite.

>>20509514
store brand are usually cheaper by a bit.
just don't microwave the hotdog and it'll taste fine.

>>20510070
>casing
that's for fancy hotdogs, anon.
the realest of the real don't do no casing.

>>20509557

>>20509940
Damn I guess maybe I’ll try Bar S afterall
>>20510127
They WILL be microwaved

>>20509557
i grew up poor and bar S are not fine. Bone fragments and cartilage abound. anyone that says they are acceptable has the same sapience that a wild hog or feral animal has. they were so bad id literally go hungry, and taught myself how to cook omlets when i was 12

>>20509514
Get some bulk dogs at costco. That Bar S shit is so bad that I took one bite and threw the entire pack away.

>>20509549
He said poorfag. Jews overcharge.

>>20510382
So which hot dogs would you buy then?
>>20510392
No Costco anywhere nearby and gas is money

>>20509514
Nathan's is my preference, but I don't know how pricey they are these days cause I haven't bought hot dogs in a long while. Hebrew National are also very good.

>>20509514
Please don't buy those hot dogs if you've never had a hot dog before it will ruin your impression of hot dogs
I use them as dog treats

>>20510445
I don’t know if I’ve had that brand before but I’m somewhat confident that my mom usually buys Oscar Mayer and boils them on the stovetop

>>20509514
imagine the delicious water this makes after a boil

>>20510540
I really like this niche meme of photoshopping hot dogs into mtn dew flavors. I’ve seen a Baja blast and code red one

>>20509514
>Poorfag here craving hot dogs. I’ve never bought hot dogs in my life. What is the cheapest hot dog weenies I can buy that aren’t complete shit? I saw these are basically free but everyone online says they are horrible, is it true? Oscar Mayer is a dollar more per pack but is it worth it?
The Bar S brand is so bad... I'm not a picky eater by any means but I would never eat these on a bun. The texture is so fucked up. They might be palatable chopped up inside a chili or some other kind of slop based dish but on a bun these are terrible. I haven't tried all the brands but Oscar Meyer, Hebrew national, and any of the 100% beef dogs are good.

>>20510542
It's not photoshop anon

>>20509514
Spend the dollar more for Oscar.

>>20510547
What’s the texture like? I’m assuming they are too soft or mushy?
>>20510559
Will probably just do this

>>20510562
It's like hot dog flavored jello. There's not any resistance to them.

I've not seen one accurate description of how these eat in this thread.

>>20510579
it's like eating a hot bologna tube that's half air.

Only good for mixing into 50 cent lidl macaroni and cheese

>>20510565
Oh damn yeah I’ve had hot dogs like that before and I didn’t like this much. Thanks for the heads up. Do you think Oscar Mayer are better?

>>20509514
Heart attack food.

>>20509514
Those are the absolute cheapest I've seen but they are indeed nearly inedible. If I was starving to death I'd certainly eat them no problem but my dogs wouldn't even eat one and they'd eat their own shit. They are especially bad in the microwave. They might be good heavily seared in a pan or on the grill but they are revolting otherwise. Good luck on your hot dog quest.

>>20510271
Hey I mean they are cheap so you never know you might like them as other people in this thread said they had no problem with them. Personally I can't stomach them after having actual decent all beef hot dogs.

>>20510534
That's mainly how I consumed hot dogs growing up. When my mom had to work late my dad would just boil up a pack of some ballparks. Good times

>>20509514
Costco.

>>20510610
Are beef hot dogs typically considered superior by everyone? I think OM sells some of those kind for pretty cheap as well

>>20509514
They're perfectly fine. You're seeing complaints from people who would insist on paying $6 for a box of cheerios because marketing told them it was better than the literal same thing in a generic brand.

At my poorest I wanted something nice, so I bought a can of Hormel beanless chili, a pack of Bar S dogs, and a loaf of local white bread (couldn't justify buns since it was the same price.) Made chili dogs and toasted the bread; it wasn't good, but it was satisfying.

>>20510761
>it wasn’t good, but it was satisfying
I appreciate the honestly anon

>>20509514
if u dont already OP when u microwave them wrap then in a paper towel and wet it then wring it out a bit makes it way better then nuking them straight up

>>20510821
I’m a little confused, I’ve heard about wrapping them in a paper towel but you then pour water on them afterwards but then “wring” the water out of the hot dog?

>>20510826
no i meant after u wet them while they are wrapped up u just give it a little squeeze to get the excess water out of the paper towel

>>20509514
Bar S hot dogs are fucking awful as well as all their other meat. As someone ITT pointed out, they dont just taste bad, they also have occasional chunks of bone/cartilage/god knows what in them. If you're being cheap then just get whatever store brand they have. It'll cost a little more but be much more edible.

>>20510826
Also you wet them before microwaving them

>>20509514
>Poorfag here craving hot dogs.
>I’ve never bought hot dogs in my life.
how can you crave something you have never had?

>>20510562
About the same consistency as bologna

>>20510595
OM has a little more snap but not much more than that... kind of like a softer slim jim

>>20510871
Never bought doesn't mean never eaten. If this guy's American it's kind of a staple on July 4th

get some good quality chorizos or smoked bratwurst and have that.

Why dont the Ballpark Franks plump up like they used to in the 90s when cooked?

>>20510925
Shittier ingredients and composition. Line must go up.

>>20510871
I’ve ate hundreds of hot dogs, just never bought them.

>>20509514
one time I pan-fried like 3 or 4 of them in butter and ate them all at once without buns and then I had horrible shits

OP here, just asked my mom which ones she usually buys and she said Oscar Mayer beef. Are they really worth the extra money compared to these top ones?

>>20509514
Look for a local hot dog company, there's gotta be one near you. I live in Rochester NY and we eat Zweigle's. Over in Buffalo they have Sahlens and in Syracuse there's Hoffman's. It seems like every city around here has a hot dog brand so I'm assuming that's the same across the country. If that's not true... Man I don't wanna think about living in a world where I'm forced to choose between Ballpark Frank's, Armour, and Bar fucking S.

>>20511444
I live in a sub 5000 population town in Alabama anon

>>20511474
Bet there's a butcher that makes mean sausages at a fair price nearby

>>20511480
>butcher
>fair priced sausages
Kek

>>20511480
I used to be one, actually. We made sausage, but never made hot dog shaped sausages exactly. It was just sausage colored ground beef basically

>>20511390
Some people REALLY like beef dogs, some people who grew up on cheaper pork/chicken dogs don't really like the beef dogs.

If you're used to cheaper dogs, get the cheaper dogs.

>>20511474
You're in luck, your grocer might carry Zeigler's! Those look good.

>>20511557
Oh yeah we got those for sure, used to be a top seller at our grocery store. I remember making this gif when Better Call Saul memes were at their peak

>>20511245
are you a neet/leach?

>>20511662
A neet yes, but I don’t take money from anyone(including the gubbament). I make all my grocery money from online market research

>>20509514
this is the best catfish bait

>>20511390
does it really fucking matter the quality of this when you're just going to load a hotdog with a bunch of condiments

>>20511983
Yeah it still matters. Only condiments I’d probably put is shredded cheese and some mustard/buffalo sauce maybe. Hell maybe a few Doritos as well but under the weenie this time, pic related often cuts/irritates the roof of my mouth

Grab a can of beans for 82 cents at Walmart, cut the dogs up and mix it with the beans. Add some onion and a touch of brown sugar and you got a cheap yet filling meal. Even better if you have some rice to go with it.

>>20512195
Eh sounds ok but I’m craving just regular hot dogs on a bun. Never been a fan of the “chopped up hot dogs in other shit” sub genre

>>20509514
All hot dogs are complete shit. But they help us use every part of the animal, which is spiritually fulfilling.
