Colombian hot dogs

Is it just my paisa or is the use of hot dogs (the cheap red ones) prevalent. My wife has put those damn things in everything imaginable.

I have found them here in Boyaca. They are in school lunches, they are in party salads, as you observed they are everywhere except with relish and mustard

Bill_Turley...exactly They turn un at social events where everyone brings a dish. I mean they aren't even the good hot dogs. With all the meats and sausages at low prices I figure it is just a cultural thing. I can handle the hot dog in my scrambled eggs; but, draw the line at canned tuna in my eggs.

'diver', you're better off, maybe with the tuna, but buy her some fresh/frozen to use.

Now I really like the big fat coursely ground mixed meat chorizos. They are more expensive than the red uns. But they are good. I like them in the British form, Bangers and Mash.

yea those are bordering on actual chorizo. They insist on using the cheap red ones...I started picking them out of the food and they got the hint...drop a few more pesos and get some real chorizo.

I take it you are talking about the little hot dogs that are even individually wrapped in clear plastic? I thought that was the funniest thing seeing them individually wrapped. I'm not too crazy about the hotdogs but the chorizo's are pretty good.

If I didn't watch my wife take the plastic off to begin with, I would have cooked them as is too.

haha...of all the posts that's on this board, this one gets my attention after all these months!

Only yesterday, my friend and I went grocery shopping and she bought those hot dogs in bulk. I told her to read the ingredients but this had little effect because she couldn't pronounce any of the words. So I explained what the words "modified", "hydrogenated", "artificial", etc. meant but, at the end, she contested that it'll still go well with the turkey dinner that she'll be going to. I was stumped!

There's also the 2 and 3 foot long ones. In Chicken not too bad. I use the ahumado's with mac and cheese, a favorite of the family. Go figure.

One of my students just introduced me to frying the hot dogs in small pieces and mixing them with the butter popcorn. At first I thought it would be gross but it is actually pretty good! I have never had arroz con pollo without sliced hot dogs either!

I love the big Colombian style hot dogs with broken up potato chips and everything else on them. Strangely enough, I have only had these in Neiva and Miami.

I just tasted a colombian hot dog with the broken potato chips on top at the Exito in Bog... First time, it was pretty good... But, I don't remember what else was on it...

Usually Mayo, cheese, etc. It depends on where you get it. My brother dragged me to some Colombian place in Miami and made me try a hot dog. I was pleasantly surprised. Later, I started getting them in Neiva. Honestly, it had never occurred to me to eat a hot dog in Colombia. There is so much other good stuff to eat that it never crossed my mind.

CG, I totally understand... I didn't want the hot dog either, but my cousin insisted, he's like don't think it's like that boring American Hot Dog that they serve at the theme parks, this one is really good.... So, I took a bite and was plesantly surprised.... On the other hand, I'd like to grip about the Colombian Chorizo that they serve with some of the Bandejas Paisa... What is up with the little hot dog chorizo versions... I used to love going to any restaurant and ordering a simple chorizo con arepa... I did this once on this past trip and was highly disappointed when they brought me a smoked sauge version of chorizo.... I saw way too many of these types of chorizo and too fee of the originals...
