Not the new pope, he is from Chicago. He was raised on hotdog water and white bread.

I thought they were famous for having good hot dogs. Do they have shitty buns?

[–] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Only if there's no poppy seeds

Holy water (of the variety you dip your hand in) generally contains human waste (from the hands) and salt (added to stop it from growing mould or algae). Probably not too different from hot dog water.

Ok. Hear me out.

Hotdogs brined in holy water

I mean, God did turn some dudes wife into salt, so there's precedent for salt being used.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Always thought that was weird, salt was very valuable so was it a concession prize? Sorry you don't have a wife anymore but here's something pretty cool instead. Like if someone changed my husband into money I might be like, well, it was his time...

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Would you really want to use or sell wife salt? I know the story of Lot predates Kosher laws, but that still seems like it wouldn't be okay in God's eyes.

Time to make some holy hotdog water

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I had an old coworker that made his own vodka. He always talked about wanting to make some from hotdog water. He was going to call it WurstWasser. I even made him a logo with an anthropomorphic hotdog taking a shower. I hope he made it.

That's why Fred dust named an album after it.

If a member of limp bizkit is anywhere in the venue during a concert, it is a limp bizkit concert.

Random Pro Tip

Steam your hot dogs and buns. Idk I just tried it the other day and light-years better than boiling.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tell us more about your setup. Do I need a steamer?

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Using a fancy steamer would work great but I keep lo-fi with just a wire rack. Fill your standard pot about a third with water and the rack, then once it's boiling set dogs in for 4-5 minutes, covered. Really until they are hot but won't take much. Then set buns in for 2ish minutes to heat and you're all set.

It's basically how street hot dog vendors do it. Miles tastier than boiling where flavor goes down the drain with your water.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I’m going to do this soon, sounds amazing. Thank you for taking the time to type this up!

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

For the budget conscious, be sure to save the weenie water! Add a ketchup packet for a delicious soup!

[–] s@piefed.world 1 points 2 months ago

Wow, I’d sure like to have someone explain how the Holy Water thing works on a molecular level

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 1 points 2 months ago

I mean there’s a lot more symbolism to piss of xtians you can draw from this with it being a phallic symbol and whatnot…

What about instant noodle water
