I can taste my own weiner (Pics!)
 

This is what I had for dinner. I took a local brew and boiled some hotdogs in it. Some might say that it's a waste of a beer -but I have plenty.

First you need some simple ingredients. I like Trader Joes brand stuff:

Those would be honey wheat hotdog buns.

Pour the entire bottle in and add a little water. Be sure to poke holes in the weiners with a fork -it'll let the beer in.

You might want to have an extra beer handy -to drink.

While my wieners are boiling get the buns ready:

You might want to drink another beer at this point. This time see how fast you can drink it. The trick is to open up your throat, but there is no shotgunning from a bottle.... unless you're crazy.

Now that your weiners are boiling you should drink another beer. This time slowly, savor the flavor. If you drink it too fast -you might want to drink another one. The reason is that the weiners need time to cook.

Carefully load the weiners into the buns.

If you burn your hand at this point -you will need to get a cold beer out of the refridgerator. Hold it against the burn. Open it and drink it.

Much better now... time to taste my weiner.

you should now be in the mood to lift someone's kilt...

Lot's of good one-liners to quote out of context too!

it's all about the beer isn't it bro?

Excellent D.I.Y. guide and technical article...congrats and thanks.

Though I love a good hotdog, I don't have time for it right now, so I'll just have a few beers to remind me how good they are...one as a toast to you.

very nice! all beeef. that's the way it should be. and with beer too!!

35 pageviews of people who want to see me taste my own weiner.

You guys are sick.

hey, you're the one advertising his weiner...

'Fessin' up.

haha! yeah i was a bit curious.

but man, that sounds like it would be delicious. next time i have some beer to use in such a manor (20 years down the road, probably) im going to give this a try.

I'm printing this quote from you and handing it in to our personnel department to justify taking off a couple sick days this week.

Do you also give out prescriptions...or may I assume that a few hotdogs and beers will make me feel better?

Is it kosher to taste your own weiner?

I see you have your own Kiltlifter brand of brew... Very good.

so, who's gonna peek first?

IMPORTANT!

There actually is a way to shotgun a bottle of beer, and I feel that I must let you all know.

You need only one item...

One plastic straw with the bend in it.

Now all you do is stick the straw into the beer and hold it to the side, the bend comes out the mouth of the beer and you bend in so that it goes back up the neck of the bottle. Then you just form a seal around the mouth of the beer, with the straw hanging out the top, tilt er back and chug!

The straw allows air to enter the bottle, and you can drink it down in about 2-4 seconds. MUCH more efficient and less messy than shotgunning a can.

Now you all must go out and shotgun from a bottle with your newfound skill!!!

Astro, was your wiener tasty AND delicious?

You are right although it's a little awkward with the straw sticking out of the bottle.

It was. Today I had them nuked and it wasn't half as good.

Are you wearing a kilt?

Very Kosher -even for a Goy like myself.

Question: Why are you naked in these shots?

where's the freakin' pizza?

Wrong thread. That one is over there ->

Wouldn't your mom like to know?

No you fool!!! You need a bendy straw! It works awesome with a bendy one!!

Shortly after I tasted my own weiner I had a tuna melt.

That would be homemade rye bread; a tuna steak and a piece of cheese. All lathered in a secret sauce which is ketchup based and NOT that nasty tartar crap that builds up on your teeth.

ever been to nantucket?

I once new a girl from nantucket.

That tunamelt looks disgusting. But then again, I don't eat tuna. The bread looks tasty, though.

Nifty idea to make hot dogs in beer. I'll pass that one on to friends.

Tuna, the other gray meat ... it's not just for dinner anymore.

I applaud the choice of muenster for cheesiness.
Never had a tuna steak, just the canned oily mush.
I've baked bread before and I like rye, but I could never find rye flour the few times that I've looked for it.

It's not totally rye... you just add it to some whole wheat flour. Apparently this is how it's been done for centuries.

What is that red stuff?

I think it's blood. Rumor has it he's a vampire. Shhhh ... !

Huh, I was always told to use shitty beer to cook my brauts and weiners, and thus kept a supply of Diet Budwiser on hand to fill this role, and I reserve the Kiltlifter for drinking. Have I been, as the internet kids say these days, doing it wrong? Inquiring minds wish to know.

Technically -the "hoppier" the beer -the more the flavor sinks into the meat. I've used Budweiser, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Guinness and all of them pail before an IPA.


And the Catsup is Blood in case anyone was wondering.

hotdogs <> Ketchup

The Straight Dope: Why is there no ketchup on a properly made hot dog?

I USED TO BE ABLE.

...maybe I learned too little about yoga, though I doubt that. Maybe the other joints are just stiffening up better.

I love a good bratwurst or kielbasa
