A Little Oregon History You May Not Have Known!
Pronto Pup, The Little Oregon Coast Hot Dog Stand That Invented The Corn Dog.
The Pronto Pup was invented in Rockaway Beach, Oregon by husband-and-wife team George and Versa Boyington in the late 1930s. The Boyingtons ran a small hot dog stand on the beach, selling them to tourists and locals.
While vending concessions in Rockaway Beach, Oregon, George Boyington hit a breaking point over Labor Day weekend in 1939 when the rain came and ruined his stock of hot dog buns. While feeding the scraps of his ruined buns to the seagulls, he began thinking of ways he could cook buns on the spot, as they were needed.
From there, George Boyington developed the Pronto Pup, a deep-fried solution that was portable for vendors and pleasing to taste. He named it the “Pronto Pup” for the speed of the cooking process. The Pronto Pup made its big commercial debut from a fountain shop window owned by the Boyingtons in Portland, Oregon. Right from the start, the tasty treat was a crowd favorite: in September 1941, over 15,000 Pronto Pups were consumed at the Pacific International Livestock Exposition.
While a few other places across the country claim to be the birthplace of the corn dog, no known claims predate the Boyingtons’ Rockaway Beach Pronto Pup

I gotta agree, they were on sale everywhere at carnivals and sideshows here. A chemical cocktail red false meat tube, dipped in batter and deep fried then dipped in sauce on a stick. The English have a word for them and its a cross between Ship and Kite which describes them perfectly 😉

Haven't eaten hotdogs over 40 yrs. Sausage was over 45 yrs, till the group convinced me to eat a couple of cert.organic Sausages to celebrate buddy's birthday.
Talk about taking one for the team.🤣

The nitrates are the problem with most processed meats.
Cured/smoked/stuffed shit hose meats the nitrates are there it seems.

Here's one great set of bits, been using them for over 20 yrs now. Better have a good grip on the drill because they just keep digging in.

Yeah all that crap is not needed.
My wife is Italian and her family used to make lots of their own food. They would spend an entire weekend making all the traditional meats out of a whole pig and even soap from the fat.
The salami was just from their own made tomato sauce bottled with just herbs and salt and an alcohol. The pork meat, gotta get the meat/fat ratio just right, salt and whatever your choice was, a good wine, scotch, bourbon whatever. The bourbon ones were the best. But all those meats lasted over a year with no chemical preservatives. I remember one that was hanging in a caravan on a bush block my mate had where we used to go detecting, it had been there over a yr and was delicious. These additives are not necessary and often repeat on me so I know if I have eaten anything with them in it.
Homemade bourbon salami 🥰

You can get uncured sausage/corn dog type things...Real meat... expensive as hell!

Agreed. Buying direct from the producer (small farms) helps, and helps the farmers too.
