I'm less offended at the boiled bread than I am at the boiled hotdogs.

you might as well just eat them cold, they're precooked. You heat them on a pan (or grill) to add FLAVOR. boiling generally removes flavor. Browning the skin in some way (Grill, pan, those rollers at gas stations,) is that flavor.

The only exception to boiling removing flavor is hot dog carts and stands and such like, where the water hasn't been changed... ever.... Yes. it tastes amazing. no. You don't want to know why that is.
