big-phil Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm from Maine, and I love these red link hot dogs. I've lived in Texas for 15 years and can't find these hot dogs anywhere. Or Pickled tripe for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZZeee Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Pickled tripe?? Man, your way too far north for that. Try the border towns. But leave your precious Z at home along with all your young daughters unless you have a gazillion dollars for ransom. San Antonio, on the other hand, is safe (for now at least) but the tripe is only available in the south side of town. I only go there for the......

jasper Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hey, Big Phil............ Where in Maine did you live? I had a great time in my teens, on vacations on Frye Island, In lake Sebago. The LOBSTER was Great!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Phil, you should start up a Wienerschnitzel competitor there in Wax and make your own red-linked dogs and pickled tripe. You'd make a ton of money. I'd even make a special trip up there for a couple links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 tuff z Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 phil, in upstate ny natural casing hot dogs are the norm. a few different companies produce them, zweigel's will ship for you. they have both red & white [pork] hots. best when grilled and they will split when done properly! http://www.zweigles.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairjj Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Phil, These guys are from your old stomping grounds. Seems they have your beloved "pickled tripe". I AM sorry that I Goggled it... yuck... http://www.beansmeats.com/OnLine%20Store.htm Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 If you can't find pickled tripe in Texas, youi're not looking hard enough! I know it's available in ElPaso. Now, Red Sulfite Dogs? Convert to the darkside and just mainline mercury instead.... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil280zxt Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Phil, I grew up in Maine also and always look forward to the annual trek "home" to see family and to enjoy the red hot dogs. All four of my sons love them. Last summer we brought a case home, some of which are still in the freezer, waiting for the grill season to return. We live in Connecticut and have never seen them available here. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I smell a GROUP Buy!! (and a BBQ) Seriously though, if we can get the same ones...we may be able to get the "prision discount", hehe!

big-phil Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 WOW!! thanks for the link. Thats where I was born, and lived. Bangor Maine , home of Stephen King I've run into him 3 times. I brought some of the hot dogs home last year when my Dad and I went back to Maine for a week (He lives here in Irving Tx. and was born in Maine also) I ate them all week. Never seemed to get off the toilet, but they sure were good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
