Delicious Meats of the AL Central

If there’s one thing the good, round folks of the Upper Midwest love more than consonants and slowly dying, it’s encased meats, dontchaknow. It should come as no surprise, then, that the Twins of Minnesota have lent their corporate imprimatur to at least one package — and probably many more — of lovingly prepared offal. And this brings us to your Daguerreotype of the Evening:

Luminous food critic Gael Greene has written of the Twins Big Dog’s “mellow notes of animal pecker and delightful sodium-nitrate finish.” Nom, nom, nom!

I love the liberal use of the exclamation point in the labeling.

“SAME GREAT HOT DOG YOU GET AT THE BALLPARK!”? Hooray! I always hated the inconvenience of having to buy a ticket to a Twins game and shelling out another $4 just to be able to savor one of these spectacular wonders of charcuterie! And, to boot, I no longer have to suffer through the pains of Rene Tosoni, Jason Repko, Tsuyoshi Nishioka, Luke Hughes, Matt Tolbert, or Drew Butera at-bats while ingesting them!

“1/4 POUND HOT DOG!”? Wow, a whole quarter of a pound! What an exceptionally standard weight for a packaged jumbo hot dog!
