[RecipesAndMore] Taste Test
Hot Dogs Published April 1, 2007. From Cook's Country. Americans spend $1.5 billion on store-bought hot dogs. We compiled a 20-person tasting panel to determine where that money should be spent. products tested (listed alphabetically) Ball Park Beef Franks Boar's Head Skinless Beef Frankfurters Healthy Choice Low Fat Beef Franks Hebrew National Beef Franks Johnsonville Stadium Style Beef Franks Kahn's Bun Size Beef Franks Kayem Deli Jumbo Beef Hot Dogs Nathan's Famous Beef Franks Oscar Mayer Beef Franks See Product Comparison Chart Hot dogs inspire passion. Just try handing a mustard-and-sauerkraut dog to someone who takes ketchup and onions, and you'll see what I mean. Passion begets consumption, and Americans spend over $1.5 billion on store-bought hot dogs each year. To determine which all-beef hot dog is best, we bought nine brands at our local supermarket and headed into the test kitchen to cook and taste them. Much to the chagrin of our 20-person tasting panel, condiments and buns were off-limits--we wanted to taste the hot dogs and nothing but. All dogs were boiled for exactly 4 minutes in water to cover, then sliced into rounds and served warm. Tasters scored each sample on appearance, flavor, texture, and overall quality. Who was the top dog? Not surprisingly, our panel preferred dogs with rich, beefy flavor and a good mixture of seasonings. We were surprised to find that sugar level tracked with our final rankings: Our top three dogs all list 0 grams of sugar, and all were praised for their meaty flavor. Those with 2 grams of sugar per dog all finished toward the bottom of our rankings and were criticized for their sweet, unnatural flavor. Texture was also important. Testers wanted firm dogs that had some snap. Samples with a soft, bologna-like texture were downgraded. See the Results Winner Nathan's Famous Beef Franks Our tasters heralded Nathan's dogs for their meaty, hearty, robust flavor and firm, craggy texture. Product Tested Quantity Price* Highly Recommended Nathan's Famous Beef Franks Our tasters heralded Nathan's dogs for their meaty, hearty, robust flavor and firm, craggy texture-all qualities that separate them from the overprocessed competition. Juicy, crunchy, salty, yum, said one happy taster. 8 dogs $4.99 for 1 pound Recommended Johnsonville Stadium Style Beef Franks Tasters appreciated the girth and richness of these franks, which were the largest in our tasting. Their flavor was described as big and meaty but not hot-doggy, with a strong spice blend. Texture was deemed good and firm. 6 dogs $2.99 for 14 ounces Recommended Hebrew National Beef Franks These franks scored especially well for their crunchy, nice and juicy texture and garlicky, spicy, beefy, and smoky flavor. One gushing taster called them almost perfect-well seasoned and juicy. 7 dogs $4.69 for 12 ounces Recommended with Reservations Oscar Mayer Beef Franks While some tasters liked Oscar Mayer's smoky, strong flavor, these franks lost points for being ridiculously salty, mushy, and tasting like a mixed-meat hot dog, not an all-beef one. 10 dogs $3.99 for 1 pound Recommended with Reservations Kayem Deli Jumbo Beef Hot Dogs Nothing fancy, like a hot dog should be, said one pleased taster. A little greasy, but with good flavor, said another. Less glowing comments included bland and sour, rubbery filling, and several references to a strange and sweet aftertaste. 8 dogs $3.99 for 1 pound Recommended with Reservations Ball Park Beef Franks One taster called these dogs classic but unremarkable. Negative remarks included mushy, strange sweetness, and a mention of unpleasant chewy membranes. 8 dogs $3.99 for 1 pound Not Recommended Boar's Head Skinless Beef Frankfurters Tasters found something amiss with these rubbery, artificial-looking (too red) hot dogs. While the flavor was deemed beefy, the chewy texture was a big turnoff. Smells a little like wet socks, complained one member of our panel. 10 dogs $4.29 for 1 pound Not Recommended Kahn's Bun Size Beef Franks The general consensus was that these dogs taste like they have a lot of filler and have a very processed texture. Most tasters complained about too much salt and no meat flavor or texture. Like sour, salty bologna, said one critic. 8 dogs $3.99 for 1 pound Not Recommended Healthy Choice Low Fat Beef Franks Our tasters didn't think these franks looked (strange dark color) or tasted (livery undertones, plasticky) like hot dogs. The gummy-mushy-grainy texture drew serious complaints. 8 dogs $3.49 for 14 ounces *Prices subject to change. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

Lower heat to simmer, and continue cooking for another 20-30 minutes, until barley is tender. Serve immediately, or can be frozen for up to 3 months.

[RecipesAndMore] good prayer
VERSE: If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. -- 2 Chronicles 7:14 THOUGHT: In today's Scripture, which occurs immediately after the dedication of the Temple, God told Solomon that the Temple would be a place his people could come and be assured that their prayers would be heard if they honestly and humbly would seek God. This promise is true still, to this very day, for while God's physical Temple isn't standing, his spiritual one is found in the gathering of his people (cf. 1 Cor. 3:16; Matt. 18:20). While we know that God hears our individual prayers, what a great blessing and what a powerful promise for God's people today! We know that when we gather with believers and humble ourselves before God and seek his presence he will hear us. Rather than wait for a grandiose, world-wide effort to start, why not get together regularly with others who will join us in this prayer effort? PRAYER: Loving Father, earnestly I seek your presence now. Please forgive me for my sin. Please use me to be an influence for good in my time. Most of all, Father, please move to bring revival and healing to our time, our people, and our land. We desperately need your guidance, blessing, and character in our government and among our people. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. in all we do, we do for GOD --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
[RecipesAndMore] Re: Alberta ... Lora
I know what you mean and we can start writing off list if you would like. This weekend is not very good because so many things are just crazy around here. We lost Sam on Thursday, my brother has been in the hospital since Wednesday, and this past day, Friday, my son and husband spent over 8 hours tearing and rebuilding the computer system in here because the table started to collapse in the middle. That was scary. I hope this coming day besides being a holiday is a quiet and very unexciting day where nothing major will happen. But I look forward to corresponding with you.
