Hot Dogs

Goberpiles316 · 11 Jan 2015 at 12:27

So I like hot dogs, but in the UK we seem to have the worst kind thrown at us basically tinned Mechanically recovered turkey or chicken YUK.

I tend to buy Herta pork franks but they don't match up to beef franks that can be purchased in a decent hot dog/burger restaurant but I am struggling to find somewhere to buy them for home use to make up my own hot dogs, anyone know of a decent supplier I cant be the only hot dog lover on OCUK.

We are talking gourmet here guys not the burger van hot dog you get every Saturday at the football!

One word; Bratwurst. Purchased from any high street supermarket.

Costco sell beef hotdogs.

Some butchers may stock a whole range like bratwurst, frankfurter, bockwurst etc. worth having a look around.

Like anything, should be able to find plenty but heres a start and they are good. It's a beef and pork mix.

Never looked at the label so don't know if they are mechanically recovered, but Lidl do jars of Brockwurst that I really like. I'm sure you'll find something you like in there as a lot ofthe products are German - check the fresh chiller cabinets as well.

I've had some decent vac pack ones from Lidl - not sure if they were a one off or normal stock item though.

polish or german sausages make some amazing hot dogs. make some crispy onions, maybe mix a little spice into the flour coating etc. Or try it with some lightly fried apple to mix it up.

Or, just follow the Icelandic rules. Its all in the order of the layers, and its with all the condiments. Heres the wiki for the stand, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bæjarins_Beztu_Pylsur
You can find more info from more googling.
Its been rated/voted somewhere as the best hotdogs in the EU, or maybe the world. But I can't remember where or when. I know they are pretty freaking ace though, although that might just be the condiments that are incredibly tasty and a nice change to just ketchup/mustard you get in a normal supermarket here.

Remoulade makes everything better

Get some Polish sausage from your local deli.

I already use the lidl ones that come in a jar, I just want a beef one as that's what one of the burger/hot dog places here sell, it seems impossible to get decent franks here, costco is miles away from me lol.

I came to recommend these. I like them on a brioche bun with swedish mustard.
