    This is fucking dumb. The closest German equivalent to a hot dog would be bratwurst in a bun with ketchup or mustard (or both, if you’re a bloody savage). What is shown here is not a common dish at all. Maybe they sell it at one fast food stand for tourists in Frankfurt.

      How can you call something that doesn’t use a hot dog and doesn’t have a bun a Hot Dog? I googled a few of them. It seems like half of them don’t exist.

      Is it dumb because it is not the closes equivalent? Yes.

      Is it dumb because this doesn’t get sold frequently? No.

      In Nuremberg we have the same thing, but it’s just multiple smaller sausages instead of 1. I’d argue you find the potatoes/kraut salad x sausage combo almost everywhere.
