First things first, the name, OK, we call them Hotdogs, you might have heard some call them Sausages, there are others who call them Wieners and some Frankfurters.
Let’s see the difference between Sausages, Wieners, Frankfurters and Hotdogs.
Sausage
Ø Definition:
It's a general term for any kind of ground meat which comes often mixed with fat, salt, spices and many other flavourings that are stuffed into a casing. (order online BBurgers Grilled Jalapeno Cheese Chicken Sausages)
Ø Variety:
It comes in many forms which include fresh, cooked, smoked and dried varieties.
Ø Examples :
Italian sausage, bratwurst, chorizo,
Frankfurters
Ø Definition:
These are specific types of sausages that originated in Frankfurt, Germany. They are made from finely ground pork (and sometimes beef) then seasoned and smoked.
Ø Characteristics:
Generally these Frankfurters are longer and thinner than regular sausages and have a mild flavour.
Wieners
Ø Definition:
Wiener is a type of sausage that’s similar to a frankfurter and typically made from a mix of pork beef and poultry.
Ø Origin:
The term "wiener" originated from "Wien," the German name for Vienna, where a sausage that’s similar to the Frankfurter originated.
Ø Characteristics:
Wieners are usually smaller and thinner than other sausages and have a smoother texture in comparison.
Hotdogs
Ø Definition:
And well, Hotdogs are cooked sausages that are typically made from poultry or beef or a combination of beef and pork and served in fresh sliced buns. (Order online BBurgers Barbeque Pork Hotdog / Cheesy Pork Hotdog)
Ø Origin:
You can say that hotdogs are derived from frankfurters and wieners but they have become an iconic American food.
Ø Characteristics:
The term "hotdog" is inclusive of both, the sausage and the complete sandwich (sausage in Hotdog buns). Hotdogs are often topped with condiments like mustard, ketchup, relish, paprika, onions, garlic, coriander and much more
So, broadly speaking
· Sausage is a broad category that encompasses many types of ground meat in casings.
· Wiener is a type of sausage that’s similar to a frankfurter only originating from Vienna.
· Frankfurter is a specific type of smoked sausage from Frankfurt and is quite closely related to wieners.
· Hotdog is an American term for a cooked sausage which often is a frankfurter or a wiener, served in a bun with various toppings.
Toppings
Traditionally, authentic hotdogs themselves do not actually contain vegetables within the sausage since they are typically made from chicken, meat (beef, pork or a combination) and seasonings. But, hotdogs are more often than not served with a variety of vegetable-based toppings which do make them close to sandwiches in terms of their accompaniments.
The most common vegetable toppings for hotdogs which are totally optional include:
Ø Onions that are raw, grilled, or caramelized.
Ø Relish, which is often made from pickled cucumbers.
Ø Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage (*mind you, its not Kimchi)
Ø Pickles are optional and are either sliced or speared on the buns.
Ø Tomatoes is typically included especially in the Chicago-style hotdog.
Ø Lettuce and Peppers are less common but can be added for extra crunch and flavour.
Ø Coleslaw is sometimes used as a topping.
While it is true that the core of a hotdog does not include vegetables, yet, the variety of toppings it can incorporate including vegetables, makes it somewhat similar to a sandwich.
