Alex Santoso's Comments

I was perplexed by "Quick at meat, quick at work." From Dictionary of Phrase and Fable by E. Cobham Brewer:

Living; hence animated, lively; hence fast, active, brisk (Anglo-Saxon, cwic, living, alive). Our expression, “Look alive,” means Be brisk.

Quick at meat, quick at work. In French, “Bonne bête s’échauffe en mangeant,” or “Hardi gagneur, hardi mangeur.” The opposite would certainly be true: A dawdle in one thing is a dawdle in all.

Re: hot dogs, a friend of mine saw a small boy choke on a hot dog and die. Apparently, because of the size of the hot dog, it is impossible to extract a choking piece from a young child's airway without specialized tools - and in many cases, kids don't survive the trip to the emergency room.

Hot dog is the one thing I won't feed my children without cutting the meat into very small pieces.
