Hot Dog Nutty Fritters

Just the name sounds ... wrong. Maybe I'm just biased against anything with the word "fritter" in it. But I made it. Yes, I did. Never let it be said that Anne is not game to make fat bombs in the name of culinary science.

There's only one thing that I can add to Alan's description: It doesn't have to be so bloody difficult! Alan must be some kind of ... bacon charmer, or something. The bacon on my hot dog (and how often do I get to write that phrase?) was unruly and kept on trying to slip away.

There's an image for you.

The mess that came out of my grill was quite tasty, and quite a visual disaster (I'll spare you the picture). Anyway, for my second attempt, I simply deconstructed the "fritterness" of the dish:

• 1 hot dog
• 1 slice bacon
• 1-2 Tablespoons peanut butter
• 1-2 slices rye bread

So, all you need to do is cook the bacon and hot dog, slather on the peanut butter on the bread, and make yourself a sandwich that will prompt many an artery to slam shut. Like Alan said, once or twice a year won't kill you ...
