According to a quick internet search, yip yip is a St Louis thing. I never heard that phrase before this thread. Manwich should be an option.

Between this and provel cheese, St. Louis should be avoided at all costs.  I don't think The Hill can overcome "yip yips"

 
When I moved to Wisconsin it took me a while to figure out what they called Spanish hamburger was actually just a sloppy joe.

 
Sloppy Joes are a relative of the loose burger. A  coney dog (topped with beanless chili, diced raw onion and yellow mustard), but replace the dog with ground loose hamburger fried up with spices. Served on a hot dog bun.

Sounds tasty and I dig it. 

"Ground loose hamburger fried up with spices" doesn't sound terribly different than beanless hot dog chili.  I'm assuming the loose ground meat has more texture than a finer hot dog chili, so I'm sure there's some contrast in the texture and obviously the flavor depending on the spices in both.

Around here, we do have something similar with a lot of different names (chili bun, wonder dog, funny dog, etc) that all amount to a hot dog with copious amounts of chili and other toppings, but no hot dog. 

 
The recipe my mom used as kid had some rice in it, apparently that helped bind it more…I haven’t had them since those days, I remember liking them but nothing I’m pining for on the nostalgia train

and they’re Sloppy Joes…yips are what happens in your short game at the golf course

 
Isn't a made rite just loose meat on bread?  No sauce, no bun, all disgusting.  At least that's the way my relatives in Iowa made them.


Generally speaking, the "made rites" I have had are just ground beef on a bun.  I am guessing something is added however because the ones I have had have been good.  They are also called loosemeats.  A restaurant in my home town makes a "tavern" that is basically a loosemeat or a made rite, but it is very good.

Today I saw a Twitter thread where some people call these “Yip Yips”.  WTF

lets find out how many weirdos we have in the FFA
There are a lot of people creating food crimes against humanity. Yesterday, I saw a Tik Tok of a guy * ahem * “cooking” a steak with lava. 
ETA: The “cooking”.

My mom makes great Sloppy Joes.  I'm sure her recipe is pretty basic, but they are good.  I have some older cousins that will request she make them if they are going to be visiting from out of town.  Could very much be a nostalgia thing.

This graphic says parts of Nebraska call them Yum Yums.  I've never heard of that either.  :shrug:  

The Yip Yip at about 1:30 in this video looks pretty good. 

 
We grew up calling them hot tamales, even though they the furthest thing imaginable from being spicy.
