Dear Dish on Street Meat

Dear-o Dish-o:

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Let there be the proclamation:

Street Meat has returned to Ottawa!

Yesterday, there was 50% more Street Meat than usual in the Byward Market!

Spread the word! No Lunchables no more!

Sincerely,

Someone Who's Hip on the Meat Front

P.S. - Is Street Meat optimally nutritious? Can it really be clean when there's no running water?

P.P.S. - All normal people love meat. If I went to a barbeque and there was no meat, I would say, "Yo, Goober! Where's the meat?!" (As quoted by Homer Simpson).


Dear Hipster:

Dish herself was just remarking the other day how more street meat is now available in the downtown core. And although it did make her feel sad when she remembered that her best partner in crime when it comes to indulging in such treats moved to Korea without her consent, her overall response to this phenomenon is "Huzzah!"

Is street meat is nutritious?! Of course it is! It's a perfectly good source of protein. And really, just because North Americans generally eat far too much protein is no reason to discriminate against the street meat vendor. Dish also firmly believes that the nasty rumours to the effect that street meat contains large amounts of artery-clogging saturated fat and cancer-causing nitrates is just a conspiracy to defame street meat's character.

As for the lack of running water at hotdog stands, that is something it is best just not to think about. Please note that if the vendor has any sort of cuts or bandages that imply that he/she may have cuts on his/her hands, find yourself another hotdog stand. That is just asking for trouble with the dreaded Staph aureus, which we have discussed here before. Never a pretty situation. Best to avoid it.

Clearly street meat is something to be celebrated. Afterall, you don't win friends with salad. Vive the street meat season! Also, now that spring is here, it may be time for Dish to hostess a party and break out the Red Hots 2 Minute Hot Dog Cooker. You know you all can't wait to try it. :o)
