And that is style and taste wrapped up right there, isn't it? Your own style is not to submit to the taste of what others think is good enough although it may seem to them you're putting on airs when you choose quality over convention.
Londonshooter: Thank you for the kind words. As you are, no doubt, aware I was not / am not "putting on airs"; I just like what I like & do not like what i do not like. (For the same reason, no doubt, that I have zero interest in bolt, single shot, pump or auto shot-guns, although, if truth be told, there is a Grade VI Browing o/u in the safe, which was a birthday gift from my Better Half). I've eaten Keen's since I was a child. My folks never cared for French's [and not only because of the name! ;-)], which was actually more expensive than Keen's back in the day. Both Mom & Dad used to make it, as I still do, from Keen's powdered mustard. Add some water & it's nice & hot; add some vinegar & it's almost as bland as French's. Add some white wine & it's got a different flavour completely. Add some horseradish powder to the mix & you've got what I call Gunpowder mustard.
Neither Mom or Dad put on airs, quite the opposite; they both lost their folks at a young age & had to squeeze pennies to make ends meet, even in later life when they didn't have to. Unlike their Grand-parents, who left property & titles on the other side of the Big Pond, when they decided to come to the colonies, via the U.S.A., in the early 1800's.
Re: The fact is I love hotdogs more than I should
Says who? Last I heard, Brink's doesn't follow the hearse to the bone-yard. If it brings you joy, then "Fill your boots". There's a whole heck of a lot we shouldn't do, including, at least according to the experts, "Sitting is the New Smoking", not to mention one of our favourite hobbies. I do not want to live to 100 or more because I ate a plant-based diet, did yoga ump-teen times a day, did not smoke (I quit 20 years ago), did not drink (still do at least twice a fort-night), did not play with guns (well now, that goes without saying, doesn't it?). My knees & back still give me grief over repeatedly "jumping out of a perfectly functioning aircraft" and running every week-day morning back in the '70's, not to mention "seeing the world & getting paid to do it". But, what a ride it's been!
Re: a few times a year will have bacon cheese dogs finished under the broiler topped with almost any brand Dijon horse radish mustard and diced sweet onions.
As do we & I daresay, again, there's a lot of worse things you can do in this life!
How is it, I wonder, that I have, up until now, never come across this group of like-minded folks here on CGN?
I cannot believe I've rambled on as long as I have. Quite unlike me.
! It’s clearly been far too long since the last SxS Classic
