IVIV: Vegetable of the Day

[Page]

Doesn't Pynchon tell us, perhaps indirectly, that chili dogs are largely not 
meat? He does this in his description of the dog. Slather on all that other 
good stuff, and the hot dog itself is merely a carrier, a delivery system. 
Of course, the chili on the dog isn't vegetarian.
