    Re: Hawaii's Best Hot Dog

    Oh, yeah....Waialua Elementary, circa 1969, pigs-in-blankets for lunch. And that grape juice that used to taste slightly of onions, in the plastic glasses, that was all buss up, from the dishwasher.

    Lunch cost a quarter, the school bus cost a dime. A packet of sunflower seeds cost a nickle. Could buy five hambergers, at Dawn's place, by the old Waialua Store, for a dollar.

      I remember the footlong hotdogs at Mel's Hot Dog Stand coner of Nuuanu and Hotel Street where Island Keepsakes is located now. Across the street where Club Kekai's is located currently used to be a Hole in the Wall that sold crunchy N.Y. Style Hot Dogs - Da Bess!

      Ahhh...make hungry now!

                        I don't know about the hot dogs but a few years ago a local meat company sold crunchy sausages. It was the shell of the sausage that was crunchy, while the meat inside was your typical sausage type of meat.

                          And I can be Mean and Nasty!

                          A long time ago someone told me to step away from my computa whenever I get to feeling a bit Nasty and Mean...this is one of the unfortunate times.

                          You're on IGNORE!

                            Gee....maybe someone else will tell me about why dey was 'crunchy', den. If not, I'm gonna wonder about it, for da rest of my natural-born days.

                            Anybody remember the deep-fried ice cream balls? They'd take some ice cream balls and roll them in cornflakes, then fry them hot and fast...the outside would be hot and crunchy and the inside would be ice cream cold.

                            And then, there's crunchy cheese...take one camembert cheese, and dip it in egg, and then roll it in breadcrumbs, then deep fry it. Serve it hot and gooey (inside), with cranberry sauce.

                            Crunchy custard...make up some Bird's Custard Powder, extra-thick, and let it get cold. Cut in into squares and roll it in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs or cookiecrumbs. Deep-fry. Maybe you could do the same with instant pudding mix, extra thick.

                            Crunchy eggs? Hard boil an egg, and then wrap some sausage meat around it. Again, flour, egg, and breadcrumb, then fry. These are called Scotch Eggs, and you'll find them at any British get-together.

                            Now...I hope that anyone reading this,(including Auntie, if she should sneak back, to see what I have to say), will understand that I have a vested interest in crunchy foods that are not supposed to be crunchy.

                            And realize that I consider this to be a serious discussion topic. I'd begin a thread just about it, if I wasn't concerned about insulting the poor woman.

                              So far this thread has some great suggestions!

                              • Panya, Ala Moana
                              • Food Pantry deli, Waikiki
                              • Movie Theaters such as Kukui Grove Cinema on Kauai (eating it in the dark justifies the cost!)
                              • Woody's (an obvious sexually suggestive name, similar to "Hooters") - I'm determined to try it with that garlic sauce because it sounds so unconventional
                              • Eastside Grill, University Ave.
                              • The Shack (eat it in the dark while watching a ball game and it'll taste better)

                              Pua'i, none of the gas stations I frequent offer that Portuguese Sausage and Sweetbread version you mentioned, but it sounds ono!

                              Speaking of frequent, just like any other guilty pleasure, I have to be "in the mood" to eat a hot dog.

                              B-T-W, variations of the classic are certainly worth mentioning! Such as the Fish Cake Hot Dog from Nuuanu Okazuya. Love that!

                                BLECK... how I hated those! That, along with school lunch Pizza is what we used to call "Abortion on Toast". Oh, the (Heeia) elementary school lunch memories... and horrors. Someone should start THAT thread.

                                Anyway, when I cook hot dogs at home, my method of preference roots back to my German heritage of BOILING IT IN BEER! Sounds odd, but try it.. trust me, them Krauts know how it's done right. The alcohol cooks out, yet it helps the beer's hops penetrate into the casing which enhances it, bringing out a robust, meaty flavor.
