As hot dogs and I no longer get along, steak, chicken, and/or ribs.

I don't consider hot dogs & sausage to be food fit for human consmption. Did you know the USDA has an allowable percentage of rat hair & feces in them? That's gross.

Have you tried hot dogs from www.wellshirefarms.com yet? (They're available via the Web site, from Whole Foods Markets, and other places.)

I haven't tried their hot dogs yet, but I can attest that their bacon is wonderful! Ditto, their hams and other deli meats.

I can't eat meat with added nitrates and nitrites because of digestive disruptions we can't discuss in polite company. The years without bacon were awful! Now I'm somewhat less cranky again. ;)
