Barb, tell me the truth, isn't Kielbasa basically made with what is too rotten and hairy to make hot dogs? I stopped eating stuff like that when I was a kid, I ALWAYS got a piece of bone or gristle, or skin, and I used to like the taste, but I just got turned off. THEN they told me "eat kosher hot dogs" so I tried, and got the same results. I think I have to become a vegetarian! ALTHOUGH, I swear I got a piece of gristle in a veggie burger, is that POSSIBLE? GACK! (running chocking and grimmacing!) Ken B
