Whether you call them hot dogs, red hots, weiners, franks or frankfurters, learn the good, the bad and the ugly, and try some recipe ideas. [font=verdana, geneva, helvetica]A little history[/font] Although the history of sausage goes back a long way, hot dogs are as American as apple pie. There's no sure etiology of the term hot dog, but two theories are the most prominent. The popularity of the term hot dog is generally attributed to sports cartoonist T. A. "Tad" Dorgan, who caricatured German figures as dachshund dogs just after the turn of the 19th century. His talking sausage cartoons generally denigrated the cheap wieners sold at Coney Island, crassly suggesting they contained dogmeat. It was such bad publicity that in 1913, the Chamber of Commerce actually banned use of the term "hog dog" from signs on Coney Island. The term actually first appeared in print in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1900. German Americans brought us weinerwurst, German for Vienna sausage, which eventually shortened to wiener. Other German immigrants referred to smoked sausages as bundewurst, German for dog sausage. By the late 1920's, weinie roasts became the rage, with guests bringing their own hot dogs to roast over an open fire. Credit for putting the hot dog into a warm bun and topping it with various condiments goes to Harry Magely, catering director of New York City's Polo Grounds, who reportedly instructed his vendors to cry out, "Red hots! Get your red hots!" Also credited for the idea of warm buns is Charles Feltman, of Feltman's Gardens in Coney Island amusement park. Corn dogs were introduced in 1942 at the Texas State Fair, created by Texan Neil Fletcher.

What are Hot Dogs Made From? Hot dogs, also called frankfurters, were first created in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1852. At its heart, a frankfurter is a sausage. Hot dogs are now made by hundreds of companies all across the globe, and each company has its own secret recipe. In general, however, hot dogs contain: Meat Meat fat A "cereal filler" (bread crumbs, oatmeal or flour) A little egg white Spices (onion, garlic, salt, pepper, etc.) My mother has a recipe that contains 1.5 pounds of pork, 0.75 pounds of pork fat, 0.25 cups of bread crumbs, an egg white, a little water, salt, pepper, onion and garlic to taste. Note that this recipe leaves out the preservatives, coloring and sodium nitrate that you find in store-bought hot dogs. Many brands leave out the bread crumbs and say "no cereal fillers" on the label. Cereal fillers got a bad name because some manufacturers got greedy and started using more filler than meat! These ingredients are blended together in a meat grinder or a food processor, and then they are stuffed into sausage casings. Most of the hot dogs you get in the store are stuffed into synthetic collagen casings, but if you are making them at home you can use natural casings (see the first link below). Once the hot dogs are stuffed, you pre-cook them (you can boil them in water for 15 minutes) and then refrigerate or freeze them. All hot dogs bought at the store are pre-cooked. When you are ready to eat one, you cook it again by boiling, microwaving, frying or grilling it.
