Are hotdogs really made from lips and assholes of pigs?

They're made with every leftover piece of the pig.

Don't be silly, they are made from pig penis.

Some of them.....and worse :/

You left out snouts & nostrils.

I don't think they actually use the anus. I do know that that thin film that holds hot dogs and sausages together is pig intestine.

Arseholes, eyeholes, and earholes. Oh wait, that's rissoles.

To be serious, yes, when food is produced down to a price, you can't throw anything away because you're competing with other manufacturer's who don't. I know it sounds unpalatable but most groups of people with a subsistence diet do practice "end to end" eating. Then a funny thing happens. The posh restaurants catch on to it and suddenly the price of things like "cow heel", "scrag end", "belly pork", "pig's ear" and "pig's cheek" go up.

In the middle ages, oysters used to be food for the poor. Not any more.

It also disturbs me that some countries use "non-meat protein" which is often slang for insect matter. It hasn't happened in the UK yet, but I suspect it's around the corner.

they anre made of all the left overs...

Never Eating Them Again & Im Going VEG!

Who cares they're fucking delish.

Eww

This is something my dad would do too.

Depends. Normally sausages are made from cheeks, minced up with fat. But if you're talking about the frankfurts or the dirty water hot dogs, I wouldn't have a clue.

The low-cost cheap ones are always made up of shit,I refuse to uy them.When I do buy them,I always buy the ones that are BEEF.

I am not sure that you'd call what pigs have "lips", so probably just assholes.

The all beef ones are cow parts, the kosher beef ones are from the front half of the cow so no assholes there.

The non all beef ones are actually made of pig, cow and turkey.

I worked at a meat factory at one time, hotdogs aren't made of lips and assholes but trust me, what they are made from isn't better. As for pigs assholes, what do you think ham made of? its pig's ass or as they call it "hind legs", and nobody cuts out the anus.

Does it matter?

I agree with Valkeer.

The real question here should be 'Would you stop eating them?'

My answer, no, probably not.

:P

please don't eat any kind of meat because they are really mistreated and stays in a a pool of bloody factories that shoot them in their head with guns and they keep bleeding to death, cut their throats ..etc and then comes in a great sandwich with 5$ that's not cool. I'm really not typing this to make anybody feel that bad but because people should be aware of what they're doing .
