Kosher Hotdogs
So I've been seeing these ads on the boob tube for Hebrew National Hotdogs. Of course they're kosher hotdogs. The ad shows that they only use the front half of the cow to make hotdogs. What the fuck do they do with the rest? Is it left to rot? What's wrong with the rest of it? Don't they know lips and assholes make the best tube steaks? For some reason it's pissing me off and I need to know.

Maybe that's what they make the non-kosher food with?

The rest of the cow, actually if they really use just the front half of the cow, is not yet "salvage meat". I believe there is a category of beef that amounts to "salvaged" or "collected beef".
The crap left on the bones, too small to get to with a knife or other mechanical means is powerwashed off and used in lower grades and in industrial applications like microwave burritos and spaghetti sauce with "beef".
Heard a story on the radio about this. It has stuck with me and I remember it every time I eat a cheap burrito or frozen pizza.

I like eating hot dogs. It is a much more efficient way to eat ~250 different animals at the same time. Not like steak, you are only eating 1 cow if you are eating a steak.

Not sure about the whole "Kosher" thing, but Hebrew National and Best's are the shits when it comes to dogs...

they dont use the ass end because its considered unclean, because they poop out of that end. ie filet mignon is generally accepted as not kosher where i came from. its a little stupid, but it is what it is.
and as far as best brands, you need to add Shofar, which is most definitely better than Hebrew National, and Evergood, which is the best hot dog ive ever had. Theyre like 6$ for 4, but holy hell theyre worth it once in a while.

A turbo Jewish friend of mine once told me that it is the method of slaughter that makes something Kosher, and that the method is meant to minimize the suffering the animal endures. Any animal (except swine) can be kosher, he said, including giraffe!

your friend was partially right, but there are plenty of animals that cannot be kosher because of their eating habits. the reason giraffe could be kosher is because they chew their cud and they have hooved feet. those are the two major requirements for an animal to be a "kosher" animal, and then from there there are about 1000 rules of kashrut that tell you which parts of the animal you can and can't eat, and how to kill the animal.
A lot of the "unkosher" sections of meat are moved to another part of the facilty, where a separate company will take possesion of them and sell them as non-kosher cuts. most of the kosher meat facilities are not actually run by jews, they are just inspected by rabbis who make sure things are legit.smile when you are going down, it looks more graceful

Nathan's dogs are still the favorite on my grill, but the hebrew national aren't half bad.

Anybody listen to This American Life ever? There was an episode on a guy that had to memorize some of the kashrut for elementary school, and then they have a kosher spelling bee of types. The teachers throw out meals, and the kids have to answer which are kosher. It started off easy, but got pretty crazy. The rules are nuts. It goes way beyond what end of the animal the meat is from. I'll try to find which episode it is. I get them on i-tunes podcast.

whats even crazier is knowing what prayer to say for what food based off the laws for what prayer covers what type of food, and which item in said dish is the dominant, or what takes precedence, over the other food.
sometimes you need to say multiple prayers, and then, its important to know the order.
was listening to an NPR bit about a boy in school who was in a "Blessing Bee" where theyd call out foods and theyd have to answer with the correct prayer(s). He got one he didnt know, so he got clever and said "no prayer" because he thought it smelled like shit in the auditorium.
prayers cannot be said in the presence of fecal matter, amongst other things. (another thing is in the presence of exposed genitalia)

Hey dipshit, Jews don't eat pork. To many, your question is the dumbest of the week, I suppose it is a matter of perspective.
Why don't they eat pork? Well it isn't because bacon isn't tasty, it is because Kosher foods are those which are in accordance to the Law passed down by Moses:
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat...........
..........And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
So, Dummy Jong Balls, you really shouldn't be calling anyone a dipshit, when you are ignorant, and are demonstrating it by the questions you ask. I mean really, you could have searched the internet and found your answer rather than posting a thread on TGR, but I guess you're not quite that bright. Nice work!

I thought any bottom feeding seafood also isn't kosher. So no lobster, shrimp, sole, halibut, etc.
Bore's Head hot dogs are really good. Maybe even better than Hebrew National, but can be hard to find. Nathan's are good too, but I feel like I'm putting something exceptionally bad for me into my body. Or are the ingredients about the same as the previous two?
Better question: why aren't hot dog buns sold in the same number as hot dogs? I think once I found a package of 8 hot dogs and rejoiced. Actually, I think it was Nathan's.

fish and poultry have their own rules as well...
fish must have scales and fins, which is why lobsters and stuff aren't cool, and mussels don't filter what they eat.
poultry cannot be a scavanger (crows, etc) and has to be on the list of approved birds. the only problem is there are a couple of names that were approved that nobody knows that they are, so things like ostrich could or could not be, depending on what people think...smile when you are going down, it looks more graceful

Oops, it must be because I've fallen off the wagon. However, Droopy Jong Balls angried me up by calling someone else a dipshit, when he was the one who was clueless.
But beetles, locusts, and grasshoppers are good:
Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
So if a locust swarm flew into a Hebrew National Hot Dog plant and fell into the mix, it would still be kosher.
