Heh, you reminded me of a Thanksgiving at my great-Aunt's house, many
years ago. As a small child, I loved cold hot dogs. When asked if I
wanted ham ("no, thank you") or turkey ("no, thank you"), my puzzled
Aunt looked to my Grandmother, who said "just give her a cold hot dog,
and she'll be happy". To this day, my Aunt keeps a package of hot
dogs around on the holidays, just in case any of the kids want one...
