    Long ago I had a Chihuahua and we were good friends. Occasionally while fixing food in the kitchen, I would toss part of a hot dog down to him and he’d wolf it down, naturally.

    I had bought some “Smart Dogs” to try them out and they were…yuck. They looked identical to real thing though, so I tossed an entire one down to him.

    In slow motion, you could see his greedy little face light up as the counterfeit dog soared in his direction. He caught it flawlessly like a classic Tom Brady floater landing squarely into his receiver’s hands.

    Then, a pause. Then, simultaneously, his little mouth opened, his tail stopped wagging, and the “dog” fell to the floor. He gave the floor-dog a second sniff to make sure his mind wasn’t playing tricks on him, then looked back up at me with treacherous zeal.

    I hate sausage but I saw some Field Roast chipotle sausages on clearance and bought a pack. It was so good, I went back to buy the rest.

    Anyone ever make their own? Like from scratch. I think chickpeas were the “bulk” of it

    [Edit] ok apparently these are incredibly simple to make and there’s like 500 similar recipes

      I admittedly eat too many fake meats but hot dogs are still a struggle. I like Field Roast on occasion but they’re simply too meaty for my taste, but the other brands that emulate the cheaper hot dogs aren’t great either.
