Where to start?
First I would like to say both Shawn and I were very excited to try these after reading some rave reviews online of how wonderful these were. We found them in a health food store here in Port Charlotte, Florida and couldn't wait to get them home to try.
They were a bit expensive, $5.89 for 4 hotdog rolls. Perhaps this reflects the local economy here in Southern Florida, I don't know.
I would also like to clarify that we could only find them "frozen" so perhaps the fresh ones are much better, although the bag is preprinted with the words "keep frozen".
When thawed they felt spongy through the bag and we thought "oh goodie!" But....
I thought they were dry, oddly textured, and in the end, inedible. Shawn ate his but agreed that they were dry, stale feeling, and oddly textured. We both agreed not to buy these again unless we could find them fresh not frozen.
They crumbled and broke when we cut the first one open (fully thawed) and it went downhill from there. I'm not sure if any of you have ever tried to eat a hotdog between two separated dry and crumbly bread pieces, but it isn't a pleasant experience and in the end I ended up eating just the hotdog with a fork and throwing the bun away.
To sum it up, not a product we will buy again when I can easily and simply make hotdog buns from scratch at home that are light and fluffy and fresh. (I'll post the recipe soon.)
