9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Some kids want peanut butter on everything - and it's hard to blame them for loving the salty/sweet nut spread. But when Cyndee Emel's 7-year old son Russell wanted her to spread peanut butter on his hot dog, she refused to prepare the unusual combination. Instead, she turned to her town's online forum and made a half-joking plea for someone to produce peanut butter hot dogs so she wouldn't have to.
Local award-winning meat market owner J. LeRoy Palumbo Jr., of Palumbo's Meats of Du Bois, obliged and created a 25-pound batch with his staff. He admits that the completely expected the combination of beef and pork, spices, water and peanut butter to be horrible when the started out, but for the people trying them, it was love at first bite. The first and second batches sold out in hours and now, several weeks later, Palumbo is talking with peanut butter companies to perhaps market the product at a wider audience and the town (population 8,000) is talking about starting a peanut butter hot dog festival to get themselves on the map.
And Russell? He's thrilled with his hot dogs and a veritable hero among his first-grade classmates.

What a terrible thing to say. And, no, I'm not gay, but I don't say terrible things about people who are, either.
As for the peanut butter on hot dogs thing...if you like it, dig in. I'll never try it but I will ask my daughter if she'd like to.

She said a restaurant there (California) used to offer them that way and it's how she was introduced...
Didn't make any converts of our group, but it's an interesting idea to add to hotdogs!
