    Is it possible to get real hotdogs of 97% pork instead of the 77% horrible ones mixed with all kinds of rubbish ?

    I saw a packet of hotdogs in lidl made in germany at 87% pork so i would assume they are not bad but is it actually possible to get full pork hotdogs of a higher percentage as the frankfurters we get in Ireland are very bad and are mixed with (I won't say).

    I'm just wondering is it possible to get a real german hotdog of high quality and where would you get them ?. Cheers.

    have you ever seen ones with this high a content anywhere?

    I would have thought they would all be lower than that. You will find ones saying 100% pork but this refers to the meat, it could be 1% meat 100% of which is pork. Its like those misleading bulmers pear ads, "made with 100% pear juice", really meaning the only fruit juice in it is a tiny dash of pear juice, the rest is water, sugar, dyes, acid etc.

    Its like these really high % pork sausages, they are no longer sausages in my mind, they are minced pork in skins, for me a pork sausage has got to have a reasonable amount of additional filler material.

    M&S have "Posh Hot Dogs", they're not what you're looking for but I'd highly recommend them, I cooked them up a couple of weekends ago in the oven and they went down a treat, very filling.

    I thought you were messing with that name, the URL is "posh dogs" -would have been even better!


    http://www.marksandspencer.com/Marks-and-Spencer-Posh-Dogs/dp/B00C10GDL2
    Ingredients: Outdoor bred pork (65%), smoked outdoor bred pork (20%) water, gluten free crumb, sea salt, potato starch, white pepper, nutmeg, mace, emulsifier(E451), sage, preservative E223, smoke flavouring, antioxidant E301. Gluten free crumb contains rice flour, chickpea flour, maize starch, salt, dextrose. Sausages filled into natural pork casings
    So 85% pork, so not bad at all.

    They're like them, the ones I got had six in the pack, sounds scabby but you'd be unlikely to eat more than one in a bun.
