arent frankfurts something thats double cooked?

I imagine those cheap ones that are half cereal are. I don't buy those,
though. I get mine--when I get any--from a butcher shop called The
Butcher Shop where they make great sausage of assorted kinds and have
the best bacon around.



You *get* them, rather than *buy* them, from the German butcher with whom
you cohabit?


You stopped being funny some time ago, in case you didn't know.


Oh, I don't know.

It's time for the real Cathy and Bill to make a comeback. This thread
isn't
funny anymore.



But I don't think that Bill is a butcher. Didn't Cathy once say that he
worked for I.B.M. So he probably knows very little about sausages (and not a
lot about computers).

I've seen what some IBMers do to computer code. He could still be a
butcher.

..Anyway, I've never seen "raw"
frankfurters in the U.S. - the package ALWAYS says "fully cooked". Most
other sausages are packaged pre-cooked, also - although you some may be
available either way. (True, most are improved by grilling or heating
in some fashion, but nevertheless many indicate cooking is optional.)
I'm not sure about frankfurters tbh, but the others are normally raw.

My point was that the sausages mentioned in your rebuttal are not
intended to be eaten without cooking. The subject of this diversion of
the thread was eating raw (i.e. uncooked) pork (in sausages or
otherwise).


There's plenty of undercooked pork sausages eaten at BBQs.


LOL! Quite possibly, but only if you have an inept "chef" presiding at
the barbie!

arent frankfurts something thats double cooked?

Exactly! (But the second "cooking" is a matter of taste, not necessity
- they CAN be eaten straight from the package, and frequently are,
by American teenagers.)


Before you buy real Frankfurters they are first smoked and then boiled.


And consequently are not really "raw", even eaten directly from the package.

I'm agreeing with you, Evelyn.



When I was a wee sprout one of my summer treats was eating frozen hot dogs
straight from the package...
