I feel cheated



At the begining of a very long article on New York's best hotdogs, Ed Levine, of the anti-hamburger, steak-hating Times, tells the Jews what they've been missing:
What I call kosher-style franks are also all beef with a lot of the same spices, but they have a natural casing, these days made from sheep's intestines. It is the natural casing that gives the best hot dogs their wondrous snap and bite.
Authentic kosher hotdogs, of course are skinless or stuffed into collagen casings. So no snap and no bite for the Jews.

In other words, no one kosher has ever tasted a real hot dog. What a summer bummer.
