First, I would like to state that I was a vegetarian for 7 years and started eating chicken, turkey and occasional pork a few years ago. Beef still kinda grosses me out. I take bites of my boyfriend's burgers from time to time but that is the extent of it. Oh, except I do eat corned beef once or twice a year.
So anyway, I bought turkey "franks" and kosher beef hotdogs. I started slicing away which was more time consuming than anticipated. I was careful to make sure they all had 8 legs. The beef ones were harder to cut through and grossed me out with its mysterious contents. I had not eaten dinner and was planning on having an octodog. I am not hungry anymore.
I only got a picture of the turkey ones.
Moving on to boiling.
They looked very cute swimming around in the bubbles and there was some curly Q action going on. I decided to fry them in a pan to help hold their shape. This was a good call and I like how they looked after a quick sizzle in the pan.
I used a grain of rice with a speck of black pepper for the eyes.
And they're done!
This one is turkey...
This scary one is beef...
and here it is with part of my studio in the background...
I would definitely make them again!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
