    I do this with the Mattersons ambient sausage. It's a horse shoe shape.

    You mean a frankfurter?

    Have you ever had a Hebrew National all beef hot dog, or one from Nathans?

    I meant the original ones made using dog meat, I would eat a hotdog with a good quality beef or pork sausage though my butcher makes me up a few pounds of sausages made from vegetable roll.

    Yeah, I've certainly bratwurst in rye bread when I was a kid - very nice :)
    I love hot dogs made with good quality sausages (pork or some other type) :)

    I recommend the hot dogs from the snack bar at Monument Underground station. The best I've had in ages.:)

    I love hot dogs. I prefer frankfurter style hot dogs but don't mind too much if it's a normal sausage. Just so long as there's plenty of onions, ketchup and mustard.

    I really don't care if the sausage/frankfurter contains eyelids, arseholes, spleens, areolas, cysts and nitrites as I'm not exactly eating them every day lol.

    I'd never heard this either, so I googled.

    The more likely explanation for the name comes from the fact they resemble dachshunds, not because they contained dachshunds.

    It seems that was an unsubstantiated rumor started by the famous cartoonist TA Dorgan. When he heard Harry Stevens selling "red hot dachshund sausages" at the Polo grounds in New York, he drew a cartoon. He didn't know how to spell dachshund, so he called them "hot dogs", which led some people to believe the sausages contained dog meat.

    But then again, frankfurters/ wieners were introduced to the U.S. by German immigrants, and at the time eating dog meat in Germany was not uncommon, so who knows. ;)

    The thing with those types of sausages is that they are minced so fine that you couldn't tell what was in it anyway. Not like British or other types of sausages which are coarser and have small chunks of fat (and/or grissel).

    Carmine is the stuff that makes them a bit red.

    It's made from boiled up insects :)

    some of y'all are at it again, lol, Again, are we now including the Hot Dog as having only 'one' version in the US like you all do with chocolate? The "I dont like the American ones version? lol". Listen, let me confess here, there's a huge variety of hot dogs/frankfurters/sausages in the US, so you can park that notion aside that the only hot dog in the US is a cheap Oscar Meyer wiener and (while I'm at it) the only mustard available to put on it is the little yellow mustard packs that (some of) you brits seem to only know..

    Don't like the American version, the sausage is horrible. No has to be a good quality British pork sausage.

    A pig is a pig. Again, a wide variety of styles, my guess is you are eating a sausage mc muffin at McDs and thats your only opinion "American Sausage".. .

    At least we know we're eating pork in our sausages and beef in our hamburgers. .

    Some hot dogs are great, others not so good. Mustard & mayo is a must have!

    Like hotdogs made with real pork or beef sausages but not those horrible american things

    Actually, the hotdogs you get in the States are an entire magnitude or two better than the crap you get over here. Even better when it's a proper Chicago or Texan dog.

    It's the dogs over here that are the cheap and nasty ones.
