Red dogs and burgers

Signs of a party when you've got red dogs and burgers on the grill. ;-)

Note: Do not adjust your screen. What you are seeing is the actual neon red color of the Maine red hotdog -dyed red, all-pork dogs with natural casings. These are also called 'Red Snappers' (think color and the snapping sound of a natural casing as it's bitten).

And people really eat sausages of that colour? Everyday one learns something new while looking photos in aminus...

@ursulakatariina: Bring a pound of regular dogs and 5 pounds of these dogs and you'll have reg hotdogs left over. They are delicious!

I'm sure I could manage to eat my way through some of those, if I weren't so diabetic!!

@Curly: If you're ever around Maine or northwest of New Brunswick, you've got to at least taste one.

Great shot and good eats...the burgers look delicious and I've never heard of a "red dog", very interesting and sounds appetizing!

@RBL: Thanks Ruthie! If you're ever up in Maine, you should try these "red dogs". They are delicious!

@Williams: When we Levesques have a get together, we do look like a small army ;-) Thanks Paul!

You said on my blog that you love cats - well, I love dogs, so pass me one of these. I have never heard of this, but I'd sure give it a shot!! ;-) Yummm.

@B. Thomas: They are called Jordans Red Hot Dogs or "Red Snappers" and are sold in Maine. Almost every time we cross the US border into Maine, we come back with a pack of red hotdogs. They are coloured red but are not spicy hot. You would love them Barbara!

Laurie from Prescott, United States

Great shot. Feeding a lot of other people? I'm not sure about those red hot dogs! Great picture though.

@Laurie: It was the Levesque's family reunion. If you like hot dogs, you would love these. They are from Maine. They have a red casing but are not spicy. Thanks Laurie!
