OT: Question of Legality

Actually, what should not be served to dogs is cabbage rolls. At least not if they are large dogs and you intend to remain indoors with them.

Dawne, speaking from experience

I think it is on the do not cook list for me .Sorry. You lost me when you said organ meats and oatmeal . Then you got to sheep's stomach. I am a Yankee from NY ,living in NC. You should see what they eat in the south!!! NOt me!!!! Barbara

Hey, another ex-NewYawker!!! I've been in Tennessee long enough to become an honorary GRITS (girls raised in the south) but no real grits for me!!

I was thinking the same thing about Brussels Sprouts

Both my dogs loved cabbage rolls. No one in my house liked them except me, so they are something I cooked when I was on my own, with, of course, the current dog for company. I use the slow cooker usually, so the resident pup got to smell them cooking all day, and so would be right there when it came time to eat, and I couldn't not share. Susan started by just eating the meat, but progessed to eating the cabbage once she decided it had soaked up the meat juices, with predictable results when she stetched out on the floor snoring in satisfaction! Emma loved cabbage rolls from her first encounter. With similar results.

You need to understand that it was subsistence in Scotland in days of yore. People were terribly poor and after Johnson travelled through Scotland and stayed at houses with ordinary Scots (there were not many inns then and it was usual to knock on a door and ask for a nights lodging) he gave rise to the fallacy about 'mean Scots' - they weren't, they were generous to a fault but if you landed on them you likely had to share a portion of the haggis, which was all they had, a meal made from the bits they could not sell.

My grandmothers large Staffordshire bull had a bad digestive system and we would all yell "Sandy" at him when he did it. Ultimately as soon as he did it, he would get up and leave the room before anyone yelled at him ! Actually I am not sure it took cabbage or sprouts with him ! I have heard Boxers are bad too.

I got past the oatmeal, but the organ meats and sheep's stomach screamed at me to stop reading and forget the whole yucky thing.

They'll never get me to love southern cooking either, except maybe for southern fried chicken.

That even sounds funny to me who will feast al fresco on a hot dog with sour kraut and mustard, from the murky waters of a street vendor's cart. That, with a soft, salty pretzel for dessert, is heaven.

Broccoli has a similar action/reaction.

You should see what they use to make hot dogs !!! Haggis looks good by comparison ! Big similarities between hot dog ingredients and canned pet food !

LOL- we have that thought a lot when the dog wants more Brussels sprouts! I do know that you're not supposed to serve them onions, and garlic as they can lead to anemia in canines.

You forgot to mention that the Haggis (approx. 12" long by 4" in dia.) on a silver platter is sometimes held above the head by a designated person (brave soul) and piped into the dining area by a Highland Piper with Bag Pipes. The designated person then sets the Haggis on a special table, delivers the Ode to the Haggis and then slaughters it with a single blow using a silver sword. The sheep's stomach by this time grey in colour splits and the offal inside spills out onto the tray. I have been to a number of these occasions and I have seen what would otherwise be very strong men faint at the sight. Either that or it was the sounds reminiscent of a Siamese cat when you accidentally step on it's tail issuing from the Bag Pipes that did them in. I used to go for the Scotch but Haggis and Turnips...Yeeeeeck!

I don't really think hot dogs are particularly healthy, but they aren't poisonous either, especially the kosher ones.

Thank you for the nice information. I am part of the spoiled generation. (Born 1955,Plainview,long Island NY. My sister said I was born with the golden spoon in my mouth.She is 20 years older then me. At this time my dad was making almost 20$ hour.) There were many thing my parents ate I would not go near either. Barbara

Not me,Grit,collard and something they call chitterlings.Not Me i will always be a NEW Yorker. I miss my NY Bagels and potato Knishes,and Kaiser rolls

Barbara

I don't eat hot dogs either...Nor bologna. Never liked it as a kid. On the other hand lamb chops and salmon.That was for me along with Russian caviar. Barbara

Did not have street vendor on LI Barbara
