[quote=@Hillan] It's non hygienic. You don't put meat in jars like they were pickles. Do you realize how much bacteria will grow there? Lemme tell you, it's a lot. Meat should be vacuum packed. Always, no exceptions. [/quote] "an unopened, packaged hot dog can have Listeria bacteria that cause listeriosis, it is safer to heat them" - Wikipedia on American hot dogs You don't have to heat ours to stay safe - our pre-cooked, jarred hot dogs are okay to eat both cold and hot. Also, if they're vacuum packed they're dry and nasty. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
