Modern hot dogs are a result of from the efficient use of meat remains after the processing of meat products. The history of the hot dog 's history is often seen or attributed to German origins , but even here there is a dispute about thiseven here.

====Early Origins====The hot dog's 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. Frankfurt, to this day, still celebrates this time as the origin of their famous sausages. However, Vienna disputes Frankfurt's claims, as the . The term "wiener" is often used to refer to sausages or hot dogs, which suggests an origin from that city at an even earlier period.

While these traditions often point to a Medieval origin to sausages, we know in reality that sausages likely go back much further in time. In Homer's Odyssey, a type of sausage or processed meat is mentioned. In fact, as early as ancient Sumeria and Mesopotamia, about 4000 years ago, animal intestines were mentioned in texts as being used to be then stuffed with meat as a type of cuisine. It is very likely sausages developed as separate innovations in varying cultures. One problem for past societies that would have likely led them to develop is , given the problem of having to preserve meat. Sausages would be ideal because they could be encased sausage's utility and then smoked or dried. It allows meat the need to be easily stored while with some protective outer covering.

====The American Hot Dog====The American hot dog, which is now the hot dog that influenced other countries in adopting this type of food, likely developed from the dachshund sausages that was served by some German immigrants in the United States. In the 1860s, German immigrants were known to sell dachshund sausages with milk rolls and sauerkraut. In 1871, a German baker, Charles Feltman, opened the first known stand in Coney Island that specifically selling sold or focused on the dachshund sausages with milk rolls. In the 1893 exhibition in Chicago, a city with many German immigrants, visitors to the city became acquainted with this type of sausage. It proved popular as vendors could sell them from their carts, put them in a bun, which was in the German tradition, and serve to customers at a low cost as they were easy to make and preserved well.

However, many would argue ketchup ruins the taste of a hot dog.<ref>For more on the sometimes controversial development of the meatpacking industry and its relation to the hot dog, see: Horowitz, R. (2006). <i>Putting meat on the American table: taste, technology, transformation</i>. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press. </ref> By the 1920s, there became more of a distinction between traditional sausages and hot dogs, which were increasingly defined by the food manufacturers. Hot dogs are essentially a type of sausage that is ground finer and emulsified, often encased with an artificial covering that is also usually removed in the food-making process to keep the meat together. As larger food consumer companies began to manufacture hot dogs, they also experimented with different products to hold the meat together, and they started creating artificial cellulose casings. The meat itself in most hot dogs today is mostly a paste of different types of meats, including chicken, pork, or beef.  Traditional German sausages were mostly made of pork, as that was the common and relatively inexpensive meat. After intense heating, the encasing is peeled away, keeping the meat tightly packed for modern hot dogs. Traditional sausages, however, are still sold in many stores and often still made by butchers in more traditional shops.<ref>For more on what goes in a hot dog today, see Hui, Y. H. (Ed.). (, 2012). <i>Handbook of meat and meat processing (2nd ed)</i>Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press, pg. 453.</ref> ====Summary====Modern hot dogs are seen as a very 'American' food, which they are given how the traditional sausage evolved in the late 19th century and 20th century. However, the origins of the food are very ancient, and its simplicity and ease of preservation had made the sausage ancestors of the hot dog popular with many cultures. This likely explains why American-style hot dogs have also become popular in many countries, as sausages were often part of the traditional cuisine of many different countries. <Youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-EsMyX6m4o</youtube> ====References====<references/> [[Category:Wikis]] [[Category:Food History]] [[Category:United States History]]
