Dept of Agriculture For a different taste treat, try Barbecued Franks with Garden Vegetables. New twists can enliven an all-time favorite. By Teresa 8. Johnson Special to the News-Journal Hot dogs are the mongrels of the culinary world. Epicureans look down their noses at this lowbrow dining experience.

But like a puppy looking at you with big sad eyes, hot dogs are hard to resist According to the Consumer Affairs Division of Oscar Mayer Foods Corp, more than 14 billion hot dogs are eaten every year in the United States, an average of nearly 65 per person. The hot dog has a colorful history. According to some historians, the first wiener-in-a-bun was served at the St Louis Exposition in 1904 by a Bavarian sausage peddler, who sold wieners as "red hots." Because his red hots were too hot to handle, he gave his customers gloves. But gloves were expensive, so he hit upon the idea of making a bun to fit the sausage. It was a hit.

Some time later, sports humorist Tad Dorgan was at a polo game where vendors were hawking wieners as "red hot dachshund sausages," since they resembled this breed of dog. They gave Dorgan the inspiration for a new cartoon a talking sausage. He called his character "hot dog" because he couldn't spell dachshund. Since then, the hot dog has inspired all kinds of variations. They have been made extended to foot-longs.

They have been smothered with chili. They have been relished and plumped and cheesed. You can buy wieners made from pork or beef or even turkey. Hot dogs aren't health food. Wieners are high in fat and sodium and they contain cholesterol.

So they're never going to be a staple in a heart-healthy diet. But as a once-in-a-while treat they are hard to resist Here are some recipe varia- Cook beef and onion in skillet over medium heat stirring often until beef is browned. Add tomato sauce, seasonings and wieners. Bring to a boll; turn down heat. Simmer 10 minutes.

Serve wieners In buns; top with sauce. Makes 10 servings. CHEESE HOUNDS 4 slices bacon 4 wieners 2 slices process American cheese, each cut into 4 strips 4 hot dogs Cut a lengthwise 4-inch pocket in each wiener; stuff each with 2 strips cheese. Wrap each stuffed wiener tightly with 1 bacon slice; secure with toothpicks. Place on broiler pan; cut-side down.

Broil 5 inches from heat for 6 minutes. Turn over, broil 4 minutes more or until cheese melts and bacon is crisp. Remove cutler NEW YORK (AP)" The National Pork Producers Council has the following tips for grilling safety: Always read the owner's manual before using a new barbecue grill. Never use gasoline or other highly volatile fluids as a starter; they may explode. Barbecue grills should not be used within 5 feet of any combustible material.

For fewer hazardous sparks, experts recommend using a covered grill. Never use a barbecue grill unless all parts of the unit are firmly in place. Barbecue grills should be kept at a level position at all times; an unstable unit can easily be tipped over; Infants, children and pets should never be left unattended near a hot barbecue grill. Never add liquid starter to hot or even warm coals. After unplugging, remove a hot electric starter carefully and remember where you placed it AlwEys use flame-resistant barbecue mitts and barbecue tools with long, heat-resistant handles.

Earbecue mitts should be worn to adjust hot vents. Wear a heavy apron to protect clothing from grease and sparks. Never wear loose clothing around a hot barbecue grill; It could inadvertently catch on fire. tions for hot dogs. BARBECUE FRANKS WITH GARDEN VEGETABLES Cut franks into V-inch penny-wise slices.
