Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dog Crackdown in Los Angeles

If you park your car illegally, they can't throw your car in the dump. So why can they throw these people's personal property in the dump?

I can't believe they just threw all their stuff in the garbage! They couldn't just force them to leave??

Sounds gross in theory, is actually good in practice...

@sweetiebird: I was going to mention banana and mayo sandwiches! I've never tried it but a coworker insisted they were great!

Sometimes me and my mom would eat mayo and Doritos sandwiches. I also used to put CheezWiz on the brown-sugar PopTarts and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese in my Mueslix cereal. Yum!

Entrées, Plus Tip, Plus Tax, Plus ... Health Service Surcharge?

I would personally have no problem whatsoever paying it, especially since it's going straight into their healthcare. If paying another $1.25 or 4% is out of your budget, wouldn't it be better to just eat at home anyway?

Kosher-for-Passover Coke and Pepsi Are Back!

They don't make it only around this time of year. They just don't SELL it in the States except at this time of year. In Central America (and Mexico I've heard) it's sold year-round made with real sugar. The only time I see corn syrup Coke is when it's been imported to US military or government installation PX's. If I had to guess why, I bet it's the US government corn subsidies making corn syrup cheaper than sugar in the States, but it's just a guess.

And yes, I think sugar soda tastes SO much better...

Kosher-for-Passover Coke and Pepsi Are Back!

I was so excited when my husband told me he saw Pepsi throwback in our local supermarket. I just bought a bottle at Walgreen's. It is awesome! Since me and my husband don't eat anything with HFCS i was really missing soda, and this gave me a chance to have some! I really hope i can find more....as i hope to get a few extra to keep for when i have a soda craving! Thanks to Pepsi and Coke for making these....not only for our Jewish friends, but for people like me who refrain from eating HFCS!

Kosher-for-Passover Coke and Pepsi Are Back!

Every year I wait for Passover and real (corn-free) Coke. But guess what, people? Pepsi has a new product: Pepsi Natural! Pepsi made with sugar, year-round. Costs more, of course, but it's all the time. I got mine at Safeway.

Oh, I didn't think of this. Back when I didn't like cabbage (my family boiled the heck out of it) I would put soy sauce on it. Now soy sauce is one of my favorite condiments. I like it on mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, baked potatoes, ramen (cooked in plain water, then drained), even eggs!

Blue Iris, I will one up you---last week I tried peanut butter, jelly, and horseradish on sourdough. Sounds gross, surprisingly delicious.

BBQ sauce on mac and cheese. accidental but now common at my house.
while camping one weekend, we discovered PB & J with pringles in between..... delicious!!

and i find ranch dressing on pizza to be disgusting, but i know many who enjoy it

More peanut butter stories: my dad, a nurseryman, would eat peanut butter and horseradish on crackers. Actually, it isn't bad. It was an appealing afternoon snack with sweet tea when we were tired, dirty, sweaty after working outdoors on a hot summer day. It's one of those things which suits when you are both really hungry and really hot.

@bisbee a LITTLE fascist? i feel like the hitler youth could appear any min.
lets face it people, if you eat from one of these carts, you obviously can see the risks, a little personal responsibility is a healthy thing. if there are people that want bacon dogs, and are willing to risk it, which obviously there are or they wouldnt be so damned controversial, let them eat them! Good God, supposedly this is still the United States.

Agreed on the Nutella. There's a crepe place I frequent that has raspberries that have been smashed and steeped in their juices with a simple syrup. I know this is off topic cause it's not a weird food, but I love their raspberries and nutella crepe.

Hmm, I wonder how a medium rare steak would taste with a worstershire-nutella dipping sauce!

I eat jam and cheese all the time. Sharp cheddar and Nutella is my new discovery - soooo goood. Actually Nutella on everything! I haven't been disappointed yet.

Also pickle and mustard sandwiches...

This isn't that weird, but I like to use too-crispy bacon as a spoon to eat my grits.

This is really weird. Those spicy nacho Doritos, dipped in chocolate frosting. The contrast was good.

So many involving peanut butter. Me too: peanut butter, bacon, cayenne pepper, red onion and lemon juice, on buttered rye toast.

Oh here is one more gross thing that I forgot about, I haven't eaten in a long time. A grilled cheese and Vegemite (sp) sandwich.

@Fanciesmom: More peanut butter stories: my mom always put peanut butter on our BLTs (just as you described above, but with iceberg, not basil), and I was completely confounded the first time I had a BLT outside the house, sans PB. I love the bacon/peanut butter combo, all the salt and fat with contrasting textures!

My grandma butters bread before putting peanut butter on it.

I've always been a fan of potato chips inside sandwiches, but I don't think that's so weird anymore.

Were the confiscated for not meeting sanitation standards, illegally parked or appeared abandoned? Having dealt with health departments before, I'm pretty sure these don't pass any sanitation standards. Although the bacon-dog is lethal, I don't think the dog itself was the target. I mean, since when is a cleaning cart an acceptable means of serving food?

oh my gosh.....why would they do that? I can't count the number of great street foods you can find in other countries. How could our city be so high and mighty to punish people for selling a dog...and tasty one at ..that...what next the little kids selling lemonade?? just shameful

Okay, mine is jam and cheese sandwiches. Smear a little of your fave jam or jelly on some horrible ol' Wonderbread (both pieces need a smearing), and then slice up some sharp, old cheddar and line one side of the bread. Place other slice on top and enjoy. It's a sweet/savoury thing.

I've also been known (at certain times of the month) to toss a handful of plain potato chips into the mix for that extra crunch and saltiness.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

my father would make the most horrid sandwich...pb, mayo and cheese...gag.

Why is it the weirdest combos seem to involve peanut butter.

Peanut butter mixed with Herdez salsa Mexican is incredible as a dip on corn chips.

Peanut butter, chipotle tabasco, and blackberry jam on whole wheat bread - yum. Or just peanut butter and chipotle tabasco on saltine crackers.

Or a friend's twist on the blt. Instead of bacon, lettuce, & tomato she puts peanut butter on one piece of bread, piles on bacon, basil leaves, and tomato slices - tops it off with mayo on the top piece of bread.

We have a "chili grill" for grilling japapenos either on the grill or in the oven - a new favorite treat was stuffing the hollowed out jalapeno with peanut butter and raspberry jam, topping it with a 1/3 bacon slice and grilling. OMG heaven with a hot flash!!!

My five-year-old son loves bean & cheese burritos with ketchup and mustard on top. Blech. But then again, he's five, and ketchup is still good on anything.

As for me, it's mashed avocado and applesauce on toast. Hey, avocado is a fruit!

When I was a kid, I like to eat cut-up hot dogs smeared with peanut butter. It was great at the time. Though the thought of it now it kinda makes me want to retch.

@Geeka -- salt & vinegar chips with vanilla ice cream sounds delicious. reminds me of when I was a kid, how I used to dip my french fries in my vanilla shake. Not sure why I stopped doing that, but I might have to start again!
