Boned Sausages

The Taipei Kid => Ick

Nothing pairs with a pizza like some bone-handled sausages. To quote from Cathy Dennis’ 1991 hit “Just Another Dream”, this combination is matched up like sugar for a cake. Is this for real or is it just another dream?

In 2001 when we went to Taiwan they had a new novelty food item, street vendors were selling hot dogs and sausages with handles, rather like a corn dog. The novelty that made it uniquely Taiwanese (and probably proves Taiwan has no board of health) was that the “handle” was an old chicken bone.

When we returned in 2003, they had disappeared completely. I assumed this was because somebody had died eating that utterly unsanitary snack.

Now, it looks like they’re back and being served by no less than Domino’s Pizza.

Salmonella on a stick! How quaint.
