Hot dog is one of the famous American fast food dishes. Its name translates as “hot dog,” which causes confusion among many. This is because the sausage very much resembles a dachshund dog. The basis of any hot dog is a bun, sausage and sauce - traditionally ketchup. Due to the different ingredients that can be added to it, there are many varieties of hot dogs. A hot dog is a satisfying snack for a fast-paced busy day, as well as a great party dish.
