A white hot is a bockwurst style hot dog – And it is made from Pork, and other, ummm, things. You know, parts is parts?

It’s a style of hot dog popular in Rochester. When you order a hot dog, you have to specify if you want a red hot or a white hot. I’m not sure exactly what they are made of, which sort of makes me scared too.

Frog, Cindy was the one who tuned us into your blog. I’m not sure how she found you, but I’m glad she did!

Well, Liz and Frog, and Frog II, as a Rochesterian planning a visit to MD in about a month, place your oder now. And do you want a white hot to go with that genny cream? I always wondered how they got rid of the genny cream ales- they ship them south! Go figure! Please buy more – support the Genesee brewery!

I read your post (Liz) about being from Rochester…I knew as soon as posted about our love for the Cream Ale that you’d get a kick out of it. We also have one of the pounders in the refrigerator that we picked up last time we were in PA.

Except, unfortunately we can’t buy beer in grocery stores in Maryland.

Yep, I can testify that all the Genny Cream Ale gets exported out of Rochester!

OMG. you’re really cracking me up now. I grew up in rochester. Genesee was mother’s milk. But everyone in Rochester drank genny light, or if you had a couple extra bucks, genny 12 horse. And genny bock in the spring. It was seasonal and was decorated in a bright green can with cute little goats on it. It was not available in bottles for some reason. No one drank Cream Ale in Rochester, just as friends I know from St Louis says everyone there drinks Busch and not Bud.

I still drink genny light by the 30 pack. Not hard to find in these parts. Now wegmans, the great Rochester grocery giant, which makes Giant Foods look like a 7-11, is moving into the area.

I can’t wait until there is one close enough to us.
