Pizza Hut tempts British customers with hot dog-stuffed crust

TAMPA -- We've become a bit desensitized with all the crazy food that has passed through the Florida State Fair of late, but this might be even a little too much for the bravest of eaters to swallow.

First it was flavored crusts, then crusts stuffed with cheese. Now Pizza Hut may be taking the stuffed-crust idea to a whole new low.

Hot dog-stuffed-crust pizzas.

This gastronomic offering appears on the delivery menus for Pizza Hut sites in the United Kingdom, with the description: "Succulent hot dog sausage bursting from our famous stuffed crust, with a FREE Mustard Drizzle."

Not that Pizza Hut customers across the pond have completely off-the-wall tastes: The British menu also offers more "standard" options such as Hawaiian, Steak Supreme and Veggie Sizzler (green chilies, jalapeños, mixed peppers and onions).

We have no problem with an occasional hot dog, and of course we're up for a good pizza any time - even breakfast. But the idea of both in the same bite just seems wrong.

Luckily, we can't be tempted to try it. Pizza Hut has yet to make this item available in the United States. But it may only be a matter of time.

Does this sound the least bit appetizing or will you pass?

Anyone else get one of those guilty erections when looking at the part where the crust seperates in that picture?

Yes, it's like someone is getting a piece of pizza.

Hey, do you think it would be weird if they decided they didn't want that piece and put it back, and when they put it back the ends of the hot dogs touched?

People speak out about pink slime - people don't want to eat pink slime mixed into their hamburger. Yet, they'll eat hot dogs (which are only pink because the barely off-white slime has coloring added which gives it that color after they steam them.)


Weird.

now that 99.9% of people are a few to several generations removed from farm life/agriculture industry, most have very little idea how their food is created

How is this in the UK and not in the US? I thought all fatty foods had to meet our approval first.

In the 1980s I always thought of pizza hut as a big treat. It was probably just because I was a stupid kid at the time. As a stupid adult every time I've gone there I can't understand how I looked forward to this. I'm unsure if its because the quality has gone down a lot or because it was never that good to begin with.

That said, the hotdog crust is the next logical development in the never ending pizza arms race. Only time will tell if this is an evolutionary dead end or the beginning of a whole new era of grease infused foods.
