Mmmmm, the sausage of kings...
"The word frankfurter comes from Frankfurt, Germany, where pork sausages served in a bun similar to hot dogs originated.[1] These sausages, Frankfurter Würstchen, were known since the 13th century and given to the people on the event of imperial coronations, starting with the coronation of Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor as King"
I remember munching on uncooked frankfurters (freshly made by the local German butcher) on the way home from the market every Saturday when I was a kid. THOSE were the best hotdogs ever.
My first hotdog really grossed me out.
