Russian spaghetti must be...sturdy. I can't imagine that the spaghetti I buy in the U.S. wouldn't break in the prep stage.
That being said, I'll shop for sturdier pasta, because I will try and consume this. Perhaps repeatedly.

"For the english speakers: i collect in this lj blog photos and links to this new form of food art, we tentatively call "hot dogs strikes back". it is primarily made by inserting dried spaghetti into the hot dogs and then boiling the resulting concoctions. it is fun to make and fun to eat for the whole family and the variations seem endless. it is fun to make and fun to eat for the whole family and the variations seem endless. if you do engage into experimenting with different forms of this "art", please take photos and drop me a link. if you do engage into experimenting with different forms of this "art", please take photos and drop me a link. i will post it here, so we can keep the project alive. i will post it here, so we can keep the project alive."

HA! I made that for my kids last week. Regular old American Spaghetti was strong enough to hold the hot dogs up. Here's the blog where I saw it - and she does make it with carrots too for a veggie option. Note: My kids actually didn't think it was very gross looking. Which kind of worried me...

``Now, if you wanna talk about bladder problems, then the man you wanna talk to will probably be my cousin Earl. I guess you all know Earl; he lives out on Route 13 out on that maggot farm. Earl don't like it when you get his maggot farm confused with a worm farm. A worm farm is for worms, and a maggot farm is for maggots, and Earl's got the biggest maggots in the state. Three feet long.
``Of course, now Earl believes this might be due to the fact that St. Smithen's Medical Facility has been dumping their waste on his property. Interesting thing about three-foot maggots is that, well, one day the china disappeared, and then the next day his television disappeared, and then a few days after that, his '57 Chevy disappeared. But there they are: the world's biggest maggots.
``Anyway, one day, Earl and I were standin' in the kitchen, giant maggots crawlin' across the floor, and Earl turns to me, and he says, "Do you ever go to make a pork sausage, and find that it's got hairs all over it?" And he gives me a look, that still chills me to this day.''

First: I'm surprised that anything out of Japan named hairy octopus was PG. Although I suspect that's whale meat...fuckers.
Second: I thought about making this with veggie dogs, then I realized how awful that would taste. Imitation hotdogs are mostly inedible, but doubly so when they're boiled and not grilled. But I'm going to try nonetheless. If you don't hear from me in 24 hours, call coldchef and give me a proper burial.

If they had done picture #6 with something a little less regular, like perhaps bratwurst, I could expect to be confronted with a plate of it at a strange dinner party. An unwise sip from the water glass paralyzes me.
Then the plate begins to pulsate and a ochre, lidless eye shudders to the top. It glares at me for a minute before the dark grey noodles writhe and the entire thing launches itself from a plate to slither down my throat, the last of it disappearing with a wet whipsnap.
I know I am truly in trouble when this happens to all of the other guests, and I find myself saying without volition, "That was delicious. Why don't you get me some plates so I can take some home to my new ho- .... friends."

#6, I presume, is made with squid ink pasta. Regrettably, I've never eaten that, so I don't know how it tastes. Is it strongly fishy? I'm thinking of stabbing it through some nice pork sausage and serving it with a creamy mustard sauce for a scary Halloween dinner.

re: squid ink pasta: I never recall tasting any squid-ness or fishy taste -- it's really just used to get the dramatic color.
Don't forget about looking into spinach pasta and beet/tomato-colored pasta!
Stick all of them in there for a psychadelic hairy hot dog!

Probably none. Boudin is generally steamed or cooked in a shallow stock bath, neither of which will cook your noodles.

Actually, Ruthless Bunny may be onto something. Soba usually cooks much faster. I don't know if it's strong enough to pierce the intestines that the boudin is stuffed into, though. Hmmm. And there would also be a problem with the casing splitting. Still, an experiment might be in order.

Meaty hotdogs are largely inedible too, frankly. As far as these go, I imagine it's all in the sauce. I may make these and do them in a greyish mushroom garlic sauce for maximum horror.
