20 original hot dogs from all over the world

Hot dog or sausage in a bun — this dish is the epitome of simplicity. That's probably why it has become so popular all over the world. And although it is not particularly refined, it is prepared in various parts of our planet. The history of the hot dog dates back to the Middle Ages: it is believed that the first sausages appeared in Frankfurt in 1487.

However, the turning point in the "career" of hot dogs is associated with the mass emigration from Europe to the United States at the end of the XIX century. The first hot dog stand appeared on Coney Island. There is a lot of freedom of interpretation in the preparation of hot dogs, since there has never been a reference recipe. Most of the most different variants of hot dogs can be found, of course, in the country of its origin - the USA. However, fast food sellers in Asia or Europe also have many very original ideas for their preparation. Watch original hot dogs from all over the world, just don't do it on an empty stomach.
