Kosher Bites
qa•
The war of the weenies
yields mixed results.
• QUICK • ROLLED OLD FASHION
JILL DAVIDSON SKLAR STAFF WRITER
Did you ever have one of those
days when you feel like you are
trapped behind your desk with
no possibility of escape, not even
for a morsel of food?
Lately, in the newsroom of The
Jewish News, every day has felt
like that. First, it was vacation
time; then the High Holidays
came and went. We were under
siege.
So, it seemed, with a captive
audience, to be the perfect time
to have a Kosher Bites taste test:
a face-off between the kosher
cocktail franks, in other words, a
war of the weenies.
Found in the frozen food sec-
tion of Farmer Jack grocery
stores, Cohen's Famous Hors
D'oeuvres Collection (collection,
can you beat that?) is certified
glatt kosher by the Union of Or-
thodox Jewish Congregations of
America, otherwise known as
OU. One serving, consisting of
seven two-bite-sized hot dogs
wrapped in puff pastry, holds 26
grams of fat, 500 milligrams of
sodium, 8 grams of protein and
13 carbohydrates.
Even Cohen's packaging
seems decadent; gleaming wee-
nies in flaky pastry shells sur-
rounded by dainty flowers stand
out from the elegant black back-
ground and flowing script writ-
ing. The cost was $3.89.
With less attractive packaging
(a brown box with yellow writing
and a picture of the most unat-
tractive hot dogs ever), Barney's
Franks N' Blankets serve up 17
grams of fat per three weenies,
along with 230 calories, 320 mil-
ligrams of sodium, 12 grams of
carbohydrates and 6 grams of
protein. They cost $3.69.
Small Pieces, Pre-Chopped $3.99 Lb.

The Rating:
Jewish News staffers will eat
almost anything. A recent an-
nouncement that free chocolate
cake was being served in the
lunchroom practically caused a
stampede; the cake was devoured
in less than 10 minutes.
So it was no surprise when I
walked in with the freshly pre-
pared franks that no less than
five hungry fellow employees
tagged behind me for a good 30
yards before I put the offerings
on the table. They didn't flinch at
the site of the withered weenies;
they grabbed their forks.
Generally, I stick to vegetari-
an cuisine. But, for the sake of
our readers, I departed from my
eating habits.
From my experience, Cohen's
had a pretty package but was pa-
