Hot Dogs With Spaghetti Inside – What’s NOT For Dinner
So, like, ew.
BoingBoing links to a page on LiveJournal (I can’t tell you the site name because it appears to be in Russian or another language that I don’t recognize) that shows a new way to cook hot dogs.
You stick dry spaghetti in them and then cook.
The result looks like something that might be served at a Nathan’s on the Island of Dr. Moreau.
BoingBoing quotes “DrO” as saying that stuffing the dogs with noodles creates “amusing culinary constructs that kids seem to love.”
I think this would gross my kids out. They aren’t big frankfurter fans to begin with, and I don’t think making the weenies look like they have worms inside would increase their appeal.
Do you think your kids would eat this?

i will never be able to look at food the same way!!!! lol
I love that people are making this. Not what I expected.
If I can survive Heinz green, purple and turquoise ketchup, this should be easy…and my kids will love it.
I’m sort of attracted by the weirdness of it, but it seems you’d have to boil the life out of the wieners (hence the dead, gray pallor they have in those photos) to get the pasta cooked properly. Barf, in other words.
Did you see my wife tweeting this last night? She made it, just to check it out, and our picky 5-year-old (who hates hot dogs) ate it right up. Kids like gross stuff.
This is more gross than caterpillar stew? Wow.
I’m impressed (and surprised) that so many people want to and are actually trying this dish. More power to you. Let us know if you/your kids enjoy it.
Blerg – Seriously, I think I am going to have nightmares from those pictures!
And funnily enough, I too have traveled and eaten more than my share of strange foods – smoked monkey anyone? Broiled hippo fat, caterpillar stew (mmm – they taste like bacon!), tadpoles steamed in banana leaves- but this? This is just gross!
I always try to tell my kid that nothing is gross – that any food can taste really yummy, no matter what it is – of course, I’m the kind of person who has been lucky enough to travel and eat things like animal feet, bugs, and eyeballs. But I think you can have amazing experiences if you try to keep an open mind, so this one is one I would try out for sure!
ewwwwwww
I don’t me neither would like it too.
The 2nd photo is a bit gross.
I don’t think any kid would dare eating that one.
Where’s the sauce?
pasta and hot dogs, two things my daughter actually likes. and she is not yet old enough to get that the combination is just a little gross. I think I might try this out.
That is absolutely horrifying. I don’t like hotdogs myself.. but… just looking at that.. especially the second one…. *shudders*
I made these last night (with Tofu Pups) and my boys (ages 3.8 and 6.0) LOOOOOOOOOVED them. And were disappointed that I didn’t make them again for dinner tonight.
Wow. This is so beautiful. I am not sure if I like it for food because texturally it makes my skin crawl. But as an art piece? Yeah, I like it a lot.
omg my kids would love this!
Maybe for Halloween? It’s an interesting combination of repulsing and intriguing. I can totally see my little brother eating this when he was like 8, though. Me, not so much.
