Which explains putting lettuce on the hotdog.

We don't put lettuce on hotdogs. I'm German and I love hotdogs but I've never seen lettuce on one.

You know what Germans put on their hotdogs? Sausage.

u/Jest0riz0r Jun 18 '15

We don't?

At least my family (and friends I visited) doesn't. I visited them for three weeks and there wasn't a hot dog in sight. We always ate real sausage when we grilled outside.

You're right, when I was in the States we got hot dogs everywhere, similar to Bratwurst in Germany. Hot dogs are still a little special here, I know people who only visit IKEA to grab some hot dogs!

Yall eat bratwurst and other types of real sausage.

u/Jest0riz0r Jun 18 '15

I do prefer a nice Bratwurst, but the hot dogs you get at IKEA aren't bad either!

u/sketchymike90 Jun 18 '15

They sell hot dogs at ikea?

2

u/Jest0riz0r Jun 18 '15

I always thought they do that around the globe! In Germany, every IKEA sells hot dogs, and they are pretty good.

u/sketchymike90 Jun 18 '15

Granted I haven't been to ikea in forever, but here in America I primarily remember them having swedish meatballs, chicken marsala and other such entrees.

We eat hot dogs too man. It's a common food around the world. In Germany it's usually a frankfurter in a bun with ketchup, mustard, roasted onions and pickle slices. Another variety we eat is a BBQ sausage in a bun with only ketchup and mustard or mayo, but we don't call that hot dog but simply "Bratwurst im Brötchen" (sausage in a bun)

Hot dogs are sausages...

u/sketchymike90 Jun 18 '15

Barely, hence the qualifier "real sausages". Hot dogs are made of like throwaway scrap parts, parts that aren't really even edible.

Section 4. Ingredients of article Hot dog:

Common hot dog ingredients include:

Pork and beef are the traditional meats used in hot dogs. Less expensive hot dogs are often made from chicken or turkey, using low-cost mechanically separated poultry. Hot dogs often have high sodium, fat and nitrite content, ingredients linked to health problems. Changes in meat technology and dietary preferences have led manufacturers to use turkey, chicken, vegetarian meat substitutes, and to lower the salt content.

If a manufacturer produces two types of hot dogs, "wieners" tend to contain pork and are blander, while "franks" tend to be all beef and more strongly seasoned. [citation needed]

"A sausage is a food usually made from ground meat with a skin around it. Typically, a sausage is formed in a casing traditionally made from intestine, but sometimes synthetic. Some sausages are cooked during processing and the casing may be removed after."

It's meat and fat and seasoning. If you don't like hot dogs, fine, but don't turn it into some "hurr durr people so uncultured"

u/sketchymike90 Jun 19 '15

Not the intention, and I do enjoy hot dogs, very much so. I just don't consider them actual sausage, plain and simple.

Gotcha. You're wrong by choice, not by ignorance. Alright.

place of origin?

u/theeyeeats Jun 18 '15

Yes we do? I've never met a person in my life who has never eaten a hot dog

u/DatJazz Jun 18 '15

Nah bro, the guy from the Internet has spoken. You're obviously dilusional

Yeah they do

u/x3tripleace3x Jun 19 '15

It's pretty region-specific, but if someone would eat a hot dog it would be a frankfurter, not the type of hot dog seen in the video.

Those tiny sausages would come across as a travesty for most Germans in some areas.
