Wormy Pasta Dogs

Maddox’s 1st birthday is coming up and I’m pulling together some ideas for kid food. The party will be small and mostly adults, but there will be a few kids. I’m not sure if anyone still feeds their kids hotdogs these days, but these sure look fun!
I wonder if the pasta inside the dog actually cooks or if its a hard little toothpick of pasta.
I think squid dogs are definitely a good idea. But will it cook? that’s a question. Maybe a little crunch will add a certain something. Let me know.
maybe ronin would like to be our taster! i can try making them for maddox’s birthday.
I’m always admired Hot Dog Octopusses myself. http://www.flickr.com/photos/39063689@N00/4768426/
Bison dogs are nitrate and preservative-free!
