I just moved from upstate NY to the southwest, where the hell can I find a hot dog like Hofmann's? There's no other hot dog like it.
>>22271765Find a local butcher shop that makes their own sausages and dogs.
You can't even find it in Pennsylvania easily. Hofmann is that good shit. I bought a pack the other day because I hadn't seen them in a while and a local store started carrying it.If there's a Polish or other Central-or-Eastern European butcher anywhere in your area, they will have sausages that are quite similar to Hofmann's. That's what I normally buy here in the DE/PA/NJ area because Hofmann's is so uncommon.
>>22271784Yeah it's odd they only have them in the Syracuse and near surrounding areas. They're so good, especially the snappys. I tried one polish place and it was almost there, I'll have to check another, I need that based and redpilled snap.
>>22271802I live in the midwest, so we have a lot of German/Polish sausage makers here. The whole key is that natural casing. I can't stand brats or any kind of sausages that don't have that snap...also they are better on the grill because they don't burst open so easily
>>22271802Mmmmmmmmmmmm
I've seen these for sale at the Walmart Supercenter #3215 5605 University Town Centre Drive, Morgantown, WV. Morgantown to Syracuse is about a 6 hour drive. I suppose it is within the sales distribution range.I've never bought them though. What makes them so special?
>>22271835Pretty much the taste, quality and snap. Other natural casing hot dogs get all withered up, these pups stay plump and juicy even when you give them a nice char, and have a noticeable snap to them. Grab them sometime, you won't regret it. Try the Snappy grillers too, they have a specific seasoning blend I can't really explain, but they're great.
>>22271765The only thing I wonder is, they are precooked. Do you warm them up in a pan? It seems like if I grilled them on my Weber, they would dry out.
>>22271873All hot dogs are precooked
>>22271873They're the only one's I've cooked on the grill that don't dry out
>>22271765Why has the image been modified ?
>>22271873>>22271885>All hot dogs are precookedyes, correctAll hot dogs are precooked. they are not like raw bacon or most sausages. hot dogs you just heat them up on a grill, or fry them in a skillet, or even boil them. HOT DOGS ARE NOT RAW MEAT
>>22271889Because
>>22271784are they better than smith's? my dad is from erie and got me buying those when they finally became available in virginia.
>>22272744Dunno. I've not had Smith's. The only comparable ones I've had are a brand from Central Jersey I can't remember the name of but unlike Hofmann's they explicitly describe themselves as Polish. >>22271802Not /only/ Syracuse. I found mine at friggin Aldi. They also had the >>22271805 ones. White hots are such an UNY that I wouldn't be surprised if people here think that they're bratwurst.>>22271835I'd be on that shit like you wouldn't believe. Nearly 3lbs? Yeah, I would destroy them.
>>22271765For me, it's ambassador. The best natural casing hot dog
>>22271765Why do they look nothing like frankfurter/wiener at all?
>>22272824The colour, right? They're simply not smoked as hard, is all.
>>22272827Yes, as that's mandatory for that style.
>>22272829They're not frankfurters. Their American franks. Much less fastidious definition but I get the confusion or bemusement on your end. Don't think of them as proper würstchen. Think of them as their own thing because they pretty much are.
>>22272830I know exactly what those uncultured swines are doing. They just can't come up with own names for their trash and that's annoying. Also i don't get the process of that rubbish. Someone thought it would be a good idea to not smoke sausages that are defined by smoking. Chicken burger.
>>22271765They sell these at Publix, theyre just ok, Nathan's tastes better desu
>>22271765Is it true you guys eat steamed hams?
>>22272978No.
>>22272837You really ought to work on your reading comprehension.>>22272968>Nathan's tastes betterYour opinions on food can't be trusted if you're going to speak such utter nonsense like that.Kosher hotdogs are fucking terrible and you're terrible for liking them.
>>22271765Their ring bologna is good too. Not sure if walmart still carries it.
>>22271765Is Hoffmann a "white hot" hot dog?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hot
>>22273160See >>22271805As >>22272793 said, those are white hots.
>>22271784Hippy's is about as good as you're gonna get in a regular PA supermarket. Roll-sized, dense, with a good casing.
>>22273728trash for trash
