Q11: What exactly are those chili dogs made of?

Q11: What exactly are those chili dogs made of?
A: When a story is set on a planet populated by sentient
animals, the question of their eating habits is no small matter.
How would a planet whose population would include intelligent
cows and pigs deal with the subject of eating something usually
thought to be made out of pork and/or beef? While several
members of the Sonic mailing list have suggested that the dogs in
Sonic's chili dogs are fashioned from some meat analog, a
possible answer appeared at the end of "Let's Get Small" (Sonic
#33). In the last panel, Sonic whips up a batch of chicken soup
which, Rotor explains, is "made with chili dogs." Since you
can't very well call it "chicken soup" if it doesn't contain any
chicken, it would appear that those chili dogs Sonic has been
scarfing for all these years are made using chicken franks! At
least, that's the most plausible theory to date.
