Kid called it 'Blooming Weiners'

earfeater13@reddit

Welp, thats settled then. These are now officially called bloomin weiners.

[-]

aron2295@reddit

I don’t know if that is slang for a real STD or not, and at this point, I am too afraid to Google it.

[-]

thaddmitchell@reddit

So does "Puffy Taco" and "Spotted Dick".

They are real. You can safely look them up.

[-]

Iwannapeeonyou@reddit

This is officially my supper tomorrow night!

[-]

EmersonLucero@reddit

When you do that, add some beef bouillon to the water. It prevents leaching of flavor and salt from the hot dogs and into the water.

[-]

slump_lord@reddit

Nah you just pour a nice pint of the hot dog water to pair. That's the best part

[-]

smonkweedwenurscared@reddit

You know, pic 1 and 2 I was a little skeptical, but I see the appeal now

[-]

Thwomp69@reddit

Get that boy a slotdog and change his life

[-]

Griffithead@reddit

Boiling hot dogs is insane.

It takes longer and tastes infinitely worse.

[-]

SirTiffAlot@reddit

Everyone in here would smash, it just looks shitty. Well done OP

[-]

moonmonologue@reddit

I’d smash for sure this is not shitty AT ALL hahaha

[-]

Griffithead@reddit

It is though. It would be infinitely better if the dog was fried instead of boiled.

[-]

Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi@reddit

Nah this is shitty for sure. Doesn't mean it's not good

[-]

SirTiffAlot@reddit

It's shitty food porn. Emphasis on the shitty not food porn

[-]

ColdOn3Cob@reddit

went from completely disgusted to completely on board between pictures 2 and 3

[-]

Mooshroomey@reddit

I think I could get behind it if they were grilled or at least cooked in a pan. Boiled is just a little too sad

[-]

OneSensiblePerson@reddit

Same. First they were boiled giant caterpillars, then they went to fast-cooking hot dogs, and then to genius way of keeping toppings on the dog.

[-]

cocopopsicle2k@reddit (OP)

Must admit I felt the same way. Went from "the fuck have I done?" to "ok actually that looks pretty good" in the span of cheese sprinkling.

[-]

agoia@reddit

The Lucille Ball shrug and "eh, close enough" came to mind when I saw the final product. My favorite kind of stuff to see here.

[-]

Iongdog@reddit

Just wish it was a more appropriate chili. Bean chili on dogs is not my favorite

[-]

cocopopsicle2k@reddit (OP)

Agreed. Bean-in chilli was the fault of not including photos in the shopping list.

[-]

LtAldoDurden@reddit

I’ve been cutting a corkscrew pattern and air frying my dogs lately. Gives you crispy bits throughout. Levels it up a bit imo.

[-]

pangu17@reddit

Wait, aren’t hotdogs fully cooked? Why do we boil them

[-]

Llama-Bear@reddit

To Brits of a certain age, this is a Wimpy Bender, missing buns though

[-]

Useless_Fox@reddit

Definitely on to something, it increases the surface area which would have been nice if they were grilled or fried.

[-]

Nf1nk@reddit

There's a trick about doing the cuts lengthwise instead of cross wise and if you do it right, the hot dog ends up looking a bit like an octopus.

[-]

byneothername@reddit

I do this but I air fry them. They turn out nice.

[-]

Aware-Yesterday4926@reddit

Yeah, heated in water was how hot dogs were prepared when I was a kid, then we got an easy-to-use grill.

[-]

Repulsive-Durian4800@reddit

The pattern of cuts increases the surface area for toppings to cling to. This is Good.

[-]

louiloui152@reddit

Would prefer them grilled but other than that looks ugly and tasty

[-]

zombie_on_the_lawn@reddit

Final product looks good actually. I'd just finish them off in a frying one to get some nice golden colour and better flavour.

[-]

EcuadorianPerson@reddit

that's a good strategy because the holes in the wiener support the chilli and the cheese, 10/10

[-]

I'm curious why you went through all this effort to prepare this meal, including scoring the dogs for increased crispiness, and then just boiled them? Boiling hotdogs has got to be the worst way to prepare them. I would prefer microwaved because at least then its really fast

[-]

drcrunknasty@reddit

Oh neat. I’m going to try these out today.

[-]

teeeeeeb@reddit

Who up blooming they weiner

[-]

SirStocksAlott@reddit

This just makes me feel very uncomfortable.

[-]

Desperate_pleasure@reddit

Air fry these when cut like that! It’s my go to method

[-]

ThyShittySwede@reddit

The aussies have invented something

[-]

MantraMuse@reddit

looks like it would be amazing in air fryer; I will try it the next few days

[-]

ChunkyChap25@reddit

At least put them in the oven to get them some color...

[-]

Is serving those big tomatoes raw uncut like that an American thing?

[-]

[-]

Sinistasia@reddit

Honestly I have been cooking my entire life and this looks divine. Maybe toast the buns. Presentation is overrated

[-]

Sclube@reddit

This is what this subreddit is all about

[-]

SynisterSilence@reddit

I so thought by the name they were going to be battered and deep fried bloomin onion style

[-]

xzanfr@reddit

These used to be called 'benders' in the 70's and 80's. The UK restaurant called Wimpy sold them.

[-]

HorrFrek@reddit

This is not shitty. Post this on r/hotdog and I’m sure it’ll get love.

[-]

redditsuckspokey1@reddit

Gordon Ramsay would be delighted.

[-]

TheMoonsMadeofCheese@reddit

Let him cook

[-]

merelymisguided@reddit

This would go gangbusters on r/hotdogs

[-]

Significant-Mud2572@reddit

Honestly looks great. It also looks potentially less messy because the chili has a place to settle inside the jigsaw dog.

[-]

taotdev@reddit

I'm not even high rn or anything but man I could totally fuck those up

[-]

Belladonna0_0@reddit

Looks like a pine cone… anyone else??

[-]

The_Marlon_Rando@reddit

I would def eat 3 of those.

[-]

DataOver544@reddit

Looks fucking awesome. But then I just ate some Fritos with ice cold nacho cheese sauce in a can.

[-]

12PoundCankles@reddit

Why do people insist on boiling hot dogs? Throw that shit in the microwave, on the grill, in the oven, frying pan, whatever... But ffs don't boil that shit. That's gross as hell.

[-]

sean_incali@reddit

huuullllkkkkk

[-]

ufokid@reddit

As a non north American, what are the toppings?

[-]

cocopopsicle2k@reddit (OP)

Chilli with unfortunate beans (chilli on hot dogs should be a meat sauce), shredded American cheese, i think this one has mustard and pickle relish in the last photo

[-]

ufokid@reddit

Seems the topping is a lot more important than the sausage

[-]

cocopopsicle2k@reddit (OP)

It is. The important bit is the combination, and it usually tastes better with cheaper sausages than I normally buy. I actually hate hot dogs normally with the exception of coarse ground all beef ones i use for Chicago style. I think maybe it's just that the chilli-cheese combination drowns out the taste of sadness and pork intestine 🤔

[-]

NeverBeNormalnbn@reddit

Hey Napoleon give me some of your tots.

[-]

BrewBroz@reddit

Why the hell does everyone boil their hot dogs on this sub

[-]

cocopopsicle2k@reddit (OP)

In this case it was because i was afraid they'd get bits pulled off positioning them in the steamer basket, but the burner was hot and adding more water was easier than figuring out something else so i just said fuck it.

[-]

dreampuff@reddit

I’d like to boil them to kill the bacteria then air fry to a black crisp

[-]

DrDooDooBrown@reddit

Looks legit.

[-]

MysticCharms32@reddit

It is very interesting 🤔 I just know this tasted amazing!

[-]

CosmicallyF-d@reddit

Actually slicing and air frying them this way will give much more surface area that becomes crunchy. It's really delicious.

[-]

cocopopsicle2k@reddit (OP)

Ooh. I'll have to try that

[-]

EllaMcWho@reddit

I really want to … since the turkey fryer is going to be set up, all out, filled and prepped this week … make corn dogs like this because it’ll be fascinating experiment and good appetizer. Off to double check with hostess to see

[-]

You know what though? It kinda works. Holds all your toppings in the creases like a ham.

[-]

TheSwearJarIsMy401k@reddit

Now grill them or pan fry them next time and that’s top tier American ingenuity

[-]

HarlesD@reddit

we didn't have a lot of money growing up so canned Chilli on hot dogs were a style growing up. I still get the craving for them every few months so I keep a can of wolf's brand on hand just in case. if you got it some sour cream goes a long way
