Here at the Food on Fridays carnival, any post remotely related to food is welcome. Recipes are enjoyed, but you can just share about the time you swallowed a penny as a child, describe why you became a vegetarian (or why you didn’t), or tell us whether or not you use toothpicks in public after a restaurant meal.
In other words, the Food on Fridays parameters are not at all narrow. I think of it as a virtual pitch-in where everyone brings something to share; even if the content of one item is unrelated to the rest, we sample it all anyway and have a great time.
When your Food on Fridays contribution is ready, just grab the broccoli button (the big one above or the new smaller option at the bottom) to paste at the top of your post and join us through Mr. Linky.
Here’s a Mr. Linky tutorial:
Write up a post, publish, then return here and click on Mr. Linky below. A screen will pop up where you can type in your blog name and paste in the url to your own Food on Fridays post (give us the exact link to your Food on Fridays page, not just the link to your blog).
You can also visit other people’s posts by clicking on Mr. Linky and then clicking participants’ names–you should be taken straight to their posts.

Food on Fridays with Ann
I can’t remember how I came across this YouTube video about a hotdog factory, but I decided I would show it to you.
The movie is presented as a positive, informative, pleasantly narrated piece demonstrating the process of making hotdogs in a factory. In other words, it’s not intended to dissuade us from eating hotdogs—the motive for making it seems to be educational and hotdog-friendly.
Somehow I’m not sure they met their goal.
If you’ve never seen where and how hotdogs are smooshed into their sausage casings, now’s your chance:
I think they want me to rush out and buy hotdogs for the grill tonight after watching this; instead, it left me slightly queasy, considering a shift back to a vegetarian diet.
Now that I’ve grossed you out, please tell me you have a more uplifting, tasty, delicious Food on Fridays post to share!

Hmm…I might have to skip that video. My hot dog issues go way back and I’m not sure I could stomach it. But I bet my husband would be oddly fascinated by it, so I’ll show him.

That was disgusting, too much of the same thing in one place is. And I thought one hot dog looked gross. My husband eats them “raw” as a snack just walking by the fridge. I’m coming back later to show him (and all the other hot dog eaters in my house) this when he gets home from work!!! Thanks so much for sharing it.

Egads! I’m sorry, but “processed meat parts” is a little too mysterious for me!
Those big paddles churning the liquified meat mixture? My stomach was churning right along with it… LOL

I can’t even get myself to watch it! I just love hotdogs and I’m not ready for the love affair to end… How sad is that?! lol

For some reason large quantities of food are just gross, and this really sort of maximizes that factor
Never mind.
You are just so informative today, Ann!

I toured the Dinner Bell factory when I was in grade school. It was a class field trip. Oh, I’m telling you. The smell, the temperature of the room (warm), and the sights were all pretty nauseating. When we finished the tour, they served us (you guessed it!) cheese dogs (UGH UGH UGH) and 7-up. I have not eaten a cheese dog since and I’ll just assume the 7-UP was medicinal.
I’ll eat hot dogs today, no problem. But they have to be grilled. Never boiled. Never raw.
