Why the hell do you Colombianas put all that crap on your HOTDOGS? Gross!

3 kinds of different colored sauces, pineapple, crispy fries ALL on a thin thin piece of meat.... Yuck... but my novia just gobbles them right up saying mmm k deliciosa. ME? I cant even watch her eat it, I get nauseous and lose my appetite. lol
nausea

ALSO WHY THE HECK do you need to put SALT and LEMON or MIEL on every single piece of fruit.. I ask her if she can even taste the fruit? lol

Well I can't comment on the hotdog thing because I've never had street meat in Colombia and probably won't ever..lol. But I put pickles, mayo, hot peppers, lettuce and ketchup on my post-bar dog here. Usually I've had a few drinks though when things usually taste a hell of a lot better haha. To each his own.

You must be high. There is nothing better than a good perro with sauce, quesillo, pineapple and crushed chips.

Compare that to the vile, bitter crap they put on dogs in the US. Mustard and relish are the worst. What is it with gringos and bitter foods? How can you put that kind of nasty, BITTER shit on anything? Once mustard or pickle juice touches anything, it is inedible in my book. Even if you wipe it off, it ruins any burger, hot dog or sandwich.

As far as the sausages themselves, I don't know where you eat, but in Neiva, there are a few restaurants that serve hot dogs and they are freaking huge. I do agree though that eating a hot dog on the street doesn't sound very appetizing.

As far as hot dogs in the US, I do love a good chili dog with cheese. Good stuff.

corporalgator (☼Travelguide writer) says on Oct 23, 2008, 08:07:

The correct answer is the hot dog because it has the most nutrients. The banana may have potassium and other things, but the hot dog has the most overall and thus gives you the best chance for survival....

Because we like flavor in the US. Our all beef hotdogs taste great grilled and the stuff we put on them enhances that flavor, not masks it like they try to do with the not so great tasting dogs here.

Now I can barely eat fruit without it and a meal without a plate of cut limes available just isn't acceptable anymore.

Doug, I have to agree with you on Hebrew Nationals. Aside from the kosher part, they simply taste better than Oscar Mayer, Ballpark, etc. It doesn't surprise me that the dogs in Colombia would be full of all kinds of odd bits. However, since it is just an occasional treat, I won't sweat it too much.

BTW, Anyone that wants to test their love for hot dogs and other processed foods should read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Most will probably have read it in high school or college, but if not, I dare you. It's actually an excellent book that helped to bring about many important changes in food and labor safety regulation in the US.

Forgetting the logistics of the whole thing, this was a real question given to people to find out how much they know about "nutrition" and how bad the information is out there. If you're stuck on an island, you'll probably be eating healthier than 99.9% of the world because of the variety of fresh produce, game, and fish and the lack of processing and you wouldn't be stuck with just a banana.

The question was worded poorly, but if you could only eat 1 thing for a year, of the 4, you should choose the hotdog. Only 3% of the people who took the survey answered such. Over 90% said Banana.
