Why do some hot dogs taste better than others?

Question

and Im not talking about the same flavor for instance beef,chicken, Nathan's hot dogs are the best but other beef hot dogs taste diffrent when they all are made the same way same ingredients.

Answer 1

It depend on what the ingredients are, different manufactures put different things in their hotdogs.  It also depends on how old they are.

Answer 2

I have never tried Nathans I hear they are good, but we always have hebrew national because they are all beef and they just taste better then oscar meyers or any other brand we have tried.

Answer 3

There are such things as "stealth chemicals" which are not required on the label as they are proprietary.  They may appear as "flavor enhancers" or "artificial flavoring" or some such nonsense.  These chemicals actually stimulate endorphin release, making you feel good when you eat the food.  This is just one way junk food companies make us keep buying their food and craving it.

Answer 4

cuz it's actually not beef, some hotdogs are mixed beef, pork, dog, chicken, etc.

Answer 5

What revsuzan said

Answer 6

Some do add a lot of dextrose, sucrose and MSG to their ingredients... these are taste enhancers that are not very good for you.

Ever try the Hebrew National or Boar's Head hot dogs? Really great!

Answer 7

Sorry to say but it could be the percentage of ears and snouts verses the meat.
