==Early Origins==
The traditional origin of the hot dog lies with the so-called Frankfurt sausage, or frankfurter, which was a sausage developed in Frankfurt-am-Main in Germany. This was supposedly around 1487, when this type of sausage of packaged or processed meat was developed. However, Vienna disputes Frankfurt's claims, as the term "wiener" is often used to refer to sausages or hot dogs. The term derives from the German name for the city (Wien).
While these traditions often point to a Medieval origin to sausages, we know in reality that sausages likely go back further in time. In Homer's Odyssey, a type of sausage or processed meat is mentioned.
