French Hot Dog
Who goes to Paris and eats a hot dog? I do. Emily took us to one of her favorite crepe stands for lunch, and mentioned that their hot dogs look good but she had never had one. I stepped up to the plate. A thick layer of emmental cheese is placed on a hot griddle. Once that has melted, two franks (and that's for a simple, you can get a double if you want your heart attack a little sooner) are placed on top and then smothered in ketchup and mustard. The cheese is then wrapped around the hot dogs like a crepe and is then placed in a baguette. Count on the French to make something like a hot dog a little more elegant. And delicious.

Hot dog crepe, well fancy that!
ReplyDeleteOK -- so what kind of mustard I have to know?
ReplyDeleteThey only know about dijon here. I can deal with dijon on a hot dog, although I'd still prefer yellow mustard.
ReplyDeleteA dog by any other name is called what in France?
ReplyDeleteHOw was it fixed?
Magge was it as good as one at the ball park?
They call it un hot dog.
ReplyDeleteMagge didn't have one, she stuck to a crepe. It's a different beast than a ballpark frank, tough to directly compare. I'd stick to a ballpark frank at a game, but there's a place for this one too.
Un hot dog avec relish et moutarde mais pas de ketchup s'il te plaît!
ReplyDeleteSeveral months ago, I wrote on this blog about what "glatt kosher" means and why there is such a misunderstanding about it.Lej en pølsevogn
