I kind of want to try wiener water soup with hot dog gravy.
If I’m remembering it all correctly, my friend took a course from a professor who’d served as a tribal court judge. A habeas corpus petition came across his desk involving a protest over jail/prison conditions. Apparently, a particular regularly served meal was titled “wiener water soup with hot dog gravy.” It was boiled hot dogs still in the water, that was the whole meal. The judge called the in charge person into court about it, and the person responded: “Awwww, I don’t know what those guys are complaining about.”
It’s always just been an odd story, but I kind of wonder what “wiener water soup with hot dog gravy” would taste like. Surely not much, or good, but the story doesn’t feel complete if I haven’t had it.
