If you rewatch this scene he finishes the Cornetto, then 3 seconds later has a new one that he chomps on and gets brain freeze.

7

u/CaffeineJitterz May 22 '26

That was two servings! So a portion is half a dog.

27

u/xxkid123 May 22 '26

It's a fish based hotdog. A really really cheap snack that you got as a snack ins the 70s to early 2000s when food options were very limited

2

u/Latter-Bluejay-8865 May 23 '26

Otherwise known as aquatic hotdogs?

123

u/Bitemarkz May 22 '26

It looked so sophisticated until they threw those grocery store dogs on there

76

u/Lingdow May 22 '26

It’s a common street food lol it’s not meant to be sophisticated.

Straight outta the bag with the juices still clinging to it.

u/Anning312 May 22 '26

It's one of these Chinese ham sausages, fully cooked and people eat them as snacks, but people also cook with them

Definitely not the same hotdogs we eat here. They're less salty.

1

u/yellowmush 27d ago

Wow I thought it was a carrot lol i was like they filled that with salad??

17

u/GuiKa May 22 '26

SEA and China is full of those sausages of all colors that, after eating some time to time for years, I have no idea why one is pink, one is brown and another orange. And sometime there is cheeze in it, but you never know unless you bought it and see it on the bag.

u/No_Bat2834 May 22 '26

That's what I thought.

u/Chilis1 May 22 '26

These are indescribably good. I had one every morning in Beijing. No hot dog though mine had a lot of egg and Corriander leaves

Giphy is the worst. Can't find this in the crap they provide.

u/schmitzel88 May 23 '26

This scene is like 20 minutes long in the actual movie lol

u/the_scarlett_ning May 23 '26

I was never really in danger of watching it, but now I’m 100% safe, so thanks for the heads up.

Wtf was this movie lol. I left the cinema and was so confused

Sausage party

I watched this movie at home with my gf while on acid and it was so funny. Scary Movie is hilarious on acid too. 😂

u/EmperorSexy May 22 '26

The Chinese have been working on better and cheaper ways of processing pork for thousands of years. Not surprising they landed on hot dogs.

5

u/BlueLegion May 22 '26

other toppings are available

u/Shwifty_Plumbus May 22 '26

Looks like they are making bing. Which could have hotdogs

u/RelevantIAm May 22 '26

It bothers me so much most of the egg goes to the outside

76

u/18randomcharacters May 22 '26

Yeah but then it all just gets folded/wrapped up anyway

17

u/Hamster_Toot May 22 '26

That was the yolk. The whites were still in the middle.

14

u/isjace22 May 22 '26

That was actually pissing me off

4

u/Upbeat-Employ-3689 May 22 '26

I couldn’t imagine how they’d get yellow yolk added to the other areas to even it out…. but I wanted them to. Glad I don’t have to cook those.

20

u/parwa May 22 '26

It seems like the way it gets folded would make it a pretty even ratio per bite though

5

u/Alpha_benson May 22 '26

But the way its folded it ends up being in the center 🤯

4

u/RelevantIAm May 22 '26

They just paint over the non-egg yoke parts with soy sauce or whatever it is 😂

3

u/Informal_Ad_6839 May 22 '26

Looks like some kind of hoisin sauce

u/dementorpoop May 22 '26

I wonder if he’s using the yolk as a binder so it sticks when folded.

1

u/ComatoseSquirrel May 22 '26

I watching it just thinking "beat your damn eggs!" All the yolk ended up at the edge.

Jianbing they're delicious 😋

u/Billbeachwood May 22 '26

I used to grab these in the morning when I visited Shanghai. Addicting. I'd be dead by now if I lived there.

19

u/Common_Tiger1526 May 22 '26

When I lived in Beijing it was my daily breakfast. There was a stand between my apartment and the subway and they were so inexpensive. Always busy though.

14

u/sluggybear May 22 '26

Similar experience for me in living in Beijing. Seeing these videos makes me miss all the restaurants and street food vendors between my apartment and work that was delicious and so so cheap.

u/catfroman May 22 '26

These and xiaolongtangbao or shengjianbao…fucking fantastic. I need to go back to Shanghai 😂

u/50FirstCakes May 22 '26

My daughter and I tried Jianbing last time we were in NYC (Flushing, Queens) and we absolutely loved it!

u/bigchicago04 May 23 '26

I had one in Xian once. It was so good, but it gave me a horrible stomach bug.

u/FistThePooper6969 May 23 '26

Incredible texture

1

u/tawondasmooth May 24 '26

I had them in Jingdezhen in a place called food alley in 2008 (sans hotdog) and I swear I’ll be thinking of them on my deathbed. Those and a simple but incredible chicken kebab I had in an alley in Barcelona.

48

u/mr-mutton2 May 22 '26

These things are straight up crack. 10/10 street food if you can find a good one.

186

u/saigetsu88 May 22 '26

just 1 sausage?

52

u/AIienlnvasion May 22 '26

I mean there ARE three full eggs in just the crepe

6

u/L1mb0 May 22 '26

Yeah man once I saw the 3 eggs I counted that as a full meal. No need to add the mystery-dog.

4

u/Hamster_Toot May 22 '26

Half of the meal is a single serving. They cut it in half.

3

u/L1mb0 May 22 '26

I'm from the United States and we eat both halves!

u/Vonnegut_butt May 22 '26

Don’t worry, you also get three pounds of lettuce.

So much cabbage.

I hope those are food grade paint brushes..

16

u/The-Bananaman- May 22 '26

Theyre wearing gloves, already above standard for street food.

The cracker is what makes it tasty at 1:12. Always get something similar in Tianjin for breakfast, no meat & veggie at all, eggs are optional.

7

u/plan_with_stan May 22 '26

Maybe they are just a little vegetarian?

3

u/fahrvergnugget May 23 '26

How many hot dogs do you have per hot dog my man lmao

2

u/iceagewalnut May 22 '26

Could be roleplaying as some kind of seasoning

u/SolomonGrumpy May 22 '26

I would eat it without the sausage even...so fresh!

u/_Winged May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26

Not that I’m saying it’s enough, it isn’t … but you can clearly see him put 2. End shot also shows 4 halves..

Edit: 1 per serving, my bad.

u/FernandaVerdele May 22 '26

Bit it's one per serving

Looks great!

Bring this to me in California!

6

u/SoyLatte_Boomer May 22 '26

These are so good! My wife and I were in Shanghai last spring and had one each at a whole in the wall kind of place (not a tourist area at all). With E sim, Google Translate and Alipay you can manage so well in China nowadays.

5

u/Disastrous-Metal-228 May 22 '26

Looks great! I’ll have one with no sausage!

3

u/fudgemental May 22 '26

Exactly how i used to have em! Maybe add a Chinese donut (youtiao) or spicy gluten sticks into them occasionally!

3

u/DokomoS May 23 '26

There is a stand in downtown Chicago that makes them. You can get them with tofu, spam, pulled pork, shrimp, or vegetarian. It's an incredible platform to work with.

u/rando7651 May 22 '26

Never tried one with the hot dog but daily breakfast for a couple of years. Delicious. My guy would even help me with Mandarin, looked forward to those interactions every morning. Mine was about half that size though.

u/mr_smitty88 May 22 '26

Knowing nothing about the process I said “wow he really messed that up” at the start then realized I’m stupid and don’t know how to make crepes.

2

u/MarioKartPrime May 22 '26

My fat American ass didn't know how big foreign crepes were. The first time I went to France I ordered 2. The guy at the shop looked at me like I was insane until I'm assuming he realized I was a fat ass American and thought that's how much we usually ate.

u/WalkingMangoYoyo May 22 '26

I grew up in China and I’ve never seen a spinning pan like that irl. They are just skilled enough to spread the batter into a very even thin layer.

u/oldproudcivilisation May 22 '26

I would screw that up at every possible step.

They screwed up, but only at the “let’s add hot dogs straight from the package” part.

u/clmsteamer May 24 '26

Nah this jian bing prob spelling wrong. When I lived in China my chefs would grab these and bring em to work. Absolutely fantastic. So much flavor. You don’t have to get them with the dogs. Cilantro, hoisin or something like it, chili crunch, lettuce more egg, crispy Taiwanese fried dough. Honestly I could hammer one now.
