Happy Thanksgiving

Nobody really celebrates Thanksgiving over here, but I decided to find something American that I could be thankful for. And find something I did.





America, thank you for exporting your original, canned hot dog recipe. Tonight I'm going to have a TV dinner with these guys and some Coke, eating them while watching the Simpsons episode where they reverse the toilet flow in Australia. And I'm going to try not to cry, but I don't think I'm going to succeed.

God bless America.

The peanut gallery watching over my shoulder wants to know "the quantity of hotdogs involved in the canning process of canned hot dogs". She dictated that wording.

Follow up question from peanut gallery: "Are they buns too?" "No wait -- what is the state of the buns?" "Are the buns intact?"

They wait with bated breath.

Also, about the civics quiz, peanut gallery says "Whenever you talk about it it makes me want to cry." So clearly sucking at civics runs in this family.

For inexplicable reasons, they also want me to type the captcha word here, "shbake".

Six hot dogs per can. They are in juice, so I'm assuming there aren't any buns in the can.

Also, below the "original American recipe" line in Dutch, the can says (in Dutch): "Tasty on a bread roll."

Six, huh? They must be packed pretty tight. I will pass the information along as soon as the peanut gallery wakes up.

It's like vienna sausages, but with hot dogs. A very happy Thanksgiving to you, Mr. Fish.

THEY'RE CANNED??!?!

I don't know why that seems so horrifying, but it does...ew. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that where I come from, hotdogs come from the butcher...

oh, and Hi Peanut Gallery...you're so cute!

They were delicious.

And for the record, they server all kinds of "interesting" meat over here. Don't deep-fried beef chunks and noodles sound delicious?

The peanut gallery appreciates the comment.

deep-fried beef chunks and noodles sound pretty normal to me...
