Did you know that the hot dog is another contribution from migrants? The frankfurter sausage, with a protected designation of demographic origin since 1860, is the original hot dog sausage in Germany. It was originally known as the dachshund sausage. During the 19th century, thousands of Germans crossed the pond in search of a better life. They were emigrants who, in addition to establishing new customs, brought a new sausage made from minced meat, called frankfurters. However, noticing that those who took it to eat on the street, the classic takeaway, ended up burning their hands, someone asked a baker to create a special bread to accompany it and hold the sausage at the same time.

And that concludes this today's episode, see you in the next one!
