Icelandic Hot Dog: The Journey

Back in May of 2005 I traveled to Iceland. You may have read about it or seen it. Well, among the many new experiences I had there, one of the best was the Icelandic Hot Dog. My friend Michelle recently returned from there and she brought back not only the Icelandic hot dog, but ALL the condiments. While I'm not sure there is a strong enough word to describe my joy, elated comes pretty close. The other night I decided to treat myself to the wonder that is Icelandic Hot Dogs.
1. Ingredients; buns, chopped onions,

Plysusinnep,
Remoladi, Hamborgara sosa, fried onions and Vinar Plysur, aka Fuckin' great hot dogs!

Now, I am not claiming that this is the "official" way to prepare Icelandic hot dogs. These are all the correct ingredients, but my order may be off. However, it all mixes together in the end. A delicious, hot doggy end.
First, delicately place the raw onions on the bun (If you like, you can toast your buns). Next, tenderly lay the hot dog on it's oniony, bready bed.

Then add the Plysusinnep on top of the dog. You can use as much or as little as you'd like.
Next, add Remoladi (which is like a mayonaissy relish) on top.Out comes the Hamborgara sosa for a nice coating. The colors of these sauces might not be the most appetizing, but trust me, it's worth it.
Cover the sauces with a thick layer of fried onions. You can most likely make these yourself, but I was given a bag of fried goodness to use.
I like to eat my hot dogs with beer. Probably you can eat your hot dogs with whatever beverage you prefer.Finally take a delicious, gigantic bite. Don't sit on the good furniture when you eat this concoction, it is messy. Just think of every bit of messiness that falls from your hot dog onto the plate as a wonderful treat for when you are done with your hot dog and wanting more. At least, that's how I do.
Can't you see the enjoyment, nay, elation on my face? I'm high on hot dog. There really isn't a better hot dog experience out there. I HIGHLY suggest hopping on a plane to Iceland to try it out. If you aren't sold on the "going to Iceland for the authentic Icelandic hot dog experience" idea, you can buy all you need right here. There are a number of other Icelandic goods that you can get from there, but trust me, you want to start with the hot dogs. The rotten shark is really not for everyone.

PS. I did some REALLY interesting things with Sloppy Joe's last night. Remind me to tell you about it sometime.

My boss went to Iceland a little over a year ago and I think he said that while the food wasn't very good in general, the hot dogs were great! And cheap compared to everything else, too!

I LOVE that of all the things your friend brought back, hot dogs and full-sized condiments were in her bag. I have food envy.

Also, your glasses are HOT.

Hey Jenny, the dogs looked pretty good... do they make veggie dogs, too? Or would that kinda defeat the purpose?

Hey new glasses! me gustan (said w/ same emphasis as Lois on Family Guy when she says, "Me gusta Nicaragua.")

Jesus...will you marry me? I'm already married, but maybe bigamy is ok in Iceland, we can move there together, and live off hot dogs and the heat of our passion?

The food now in Iceland is delicious. Puffin, Minke whale and horse, tasty.!

I brought some of that Remoladi stuff back to London too.
I think it's like a remoulade. Could you taste celery or walnuts in it?

If you are in the states, Louisiana Creole cooking has a similar remoulade.
