      Mate, if you use frankfurters at your sausage sizzle I’m going to have some complaints

    I never understood how this was somehow a sign of being poor. I don’t buy hotdog buns. I have always ate my hotdogs this way.

      This is my preferred consumption method. Buy a bag of hotdog buns and they have a single purpose, be a fluffy sausage pocket.

      Hotdog buns with:

      • PB & J - too much bread and possibly to sloppy
      • In place of sandwich bread - nice try Satan.

      It is a bread product designed with a singular purpose.

      A loaf of sandwich bread, that is like the Swiss army knife of bread.

    Replace the hotdog with regular sausage (cooked on a barbecue), and you’ve literally got Australia’s favourite weekend food. Onions (also barbecued) and tomato sauce optional.

    Its a “classy” way to eat a heated Bockwurst or Wiener in Germany. On of the few meals, that are often typically served with white toast bread.

      I could get ramen for $0.11 each if I bought a pack. I lived on that for months. A hotdog without bread or condiments cost more. A hotdog was fucking luxury.

        When I was 18 and my parents moved away, I only had $30 for food that first month. I was able to get ramen for 10/$1 and it got me through. It took me many years to be able to enjoy ramen after I was able to afford not being forced to eat it.

        When I was in college I lived off the really cheap ramen… until it literally made me sick.

        I can afford the higher quality ramen now (air fried, actual vegetable packets) which is a little more expensive (but still comparatively cheap). Still a great go-to day snack to keep me going.

          The really cheap stuff is NOT good. I still buy occasionally unfortunately. What brands have actual real vegetables packets? I have a great international market near me but they have like 600 kinds of ramen. I’d like to outsource filtering through them for the good ones.

            The Nongshim Shin Black ramen has a good veggie packet, has relatively large mushrooms, a bone broth packet, and the spicy seasoning packet. It’s about $2 a pack where I live (US). It’s great though, my favorite ramen so far.

          I got spam and beatings as a kid. The ramen was when I moved out at 17. It got better by the time I was 20.

    Am i the only one who would cut it in half and then cut those in half if it was going on white bread? I would then stack them and make an actual sandwich.

    Unpopular opinion, but I got used to eating hot dogs growing up with regular sliced bread and I might even prefer it. The bun/dog ratio is good. However, I know it’s more bread and is contradictory, but Danish hot dogs are my favorite.

    When I was a kid this was just how you ate hotdogs at home. Chili dog was an open face sandwich.

      Hotdogs wrapped in a tortilla are awesome, especially while camping. Saves soooo much space compared to a bag of buns and can’t be squished so easily.

      I’m glad to see others sharing the best way to eat a hotdog.

      I found it on my own, had tortillas from making tacos, but run out of meat, so I checked what else I had, and there it was, a perfectly nice sausage. So I made myself a Mex dog and I loved it, much better than with buns and a lot less messy.

      Depending on how you define tortilla, this is the default way in Norway. At least when I was a kid we grilled and ate them like this with ketchup, mustard and crispy onions, can recommend.

      First thing I thought when I saw the picture.

      Mustard on one side, ketchup on the other. Roll the dog back and forth a bit so the condiments spread out and don’t soak through the bread.
