Did you know? Ancient Egypt is famously known for their love of cats, but at one point there were many dogs living there too! At one point, due to either a religious decision or a royal faction that just hated dogs, they threw all of the dogs into what was essentially an ancient version of a giant blender. Powered by the Nile's current, it ground the dogs up against sandstone and hundreds of thousands of their fellow dogs, brutally killing them. What a ruff day! The noise supposedly could be heard in the neighboring city, that was the size of the mechanism used. While gruesome, this left one positive impact on the future. Egyptians had been left with a problem, what to do with all of the meat? Egyptians, known for their complex burials, for once chose a simple method of disposal- mixing it with spices and eating strips of it on piping hot fry bread! Today, this Egyptian snack is known as the hot dog! It became a hit in Egypt, to the point they began allocating their slave trading workforce, the only ones with the space and room to transport large living things, to steal dogs from other surrounding nations! Bone Appétit!
