- I needed to know if canned Vienna Sausages are the same as what is more commonly sold here as canned hot dogs. Spoiler: Yes, they are.

*Afterthoughts & Addenda*
*WhyYyyyYYy did you use a can opener?* - I just prefer to. The ring pull is not mandatory where I live.
*Costco sells beef franks* - thank you to everyone who mentioned this. I don't have Costco membership and there isn't a store anywhere very near me, but maybe I can find a way to make use of this information sometime...
Can you try Fried Chicken in a can?
Nathan's actually do have a brick and mortar store in Bournemouth and Southampton.
I know at some point they used to have their famous hot dog eating competitions too, if you are familiar with UA-camr Beard meats food I believe he used to compete at one time.
Didn't you mention a turkish supermarket near your new home? You should get beef sausages there, at least they sell them here in Germany.
@@inkenhafner7187 The Turkish store was near the old house. I can get beef sausages of various kinds, but there is no way to know how close they are to the beef frankfurters that are common in the USA
if your hotdogs arent 10 to a pack and your buns 8 to a pack, youre not getting the american experience
So absolutely freakin' true!
trust me ours are they pull that crap on us on nearly everything lol
Those don't look like America's Vienna sauages
Actually all the hot dogs we buy here in the states are now 8 to a pack and 8 buns.
@@jackiependergrass9062 why do you feel the need to just make things up lol
I love that your sister buys you weird canned food 😂 She obviously knows you too well!
It's a shame we can't see them wobble
Nice
Too short to wobble!
This all sounds like a Carry On film
Explains why my own meaty fellow can't wobble either
Wibbly wobbly wonder
Little Eva in her little Jumper, just looks so cute ❤
Eva is such a good girl and deserves all the love.
@@BoisegangGaming yes, she is, she is a little darling.
From the USA here. Those sausages look like a brand we have here. The brand I am referring to is Hillshire Farm Lit’l smokies and based on the video I’d say they seem to have the same texture as the ones you just ate. What I know as Vienna sausage overs here is Libby’s Vienna sausage which has a much softer texture and no snap to it, almost as soft as a spreadable liverwurst.
Yes, I believe you're correct
Yes, and they have no 'ends' stacked upright and I can't get the first one out without tearing it up!
Spot on! I'm visiting the Philippines right now and they have cans of Vienna sausage that looks just like the can shown here. I bought a can the other day, so I'll have to see how they compare to our little Smokies in the US. But I totally agree, our Amour or Libby's Vienna sausage are pretty dang close to the consistency of liverwurst. 👍👍
Exactly right! I remember eating them on crackers with a little mayo. Haven’t had them in years though. also in the southern U.S. it’s pronounced quite differently. Vī ēē na. Sounds more like hyena.
I second your comment. 👍
Tiny sausages in a tiny pan, cute :D
In Germany we call Wiener Würstchen (vienna sausages) what in Austria is often called Frankfurter. So both cities are used kinda interchangeably to describe the same sausage. However, Frankfurters seem to be made entirely from pork, while Wieners add beef.
Frankfurters also don’t use mechanically recovered meats either (see my comment above on the process) it’s truly disgusting in my view
true
@@CricketEnglandor it's just efficient use of a product.
@@CricketEngland Folding Ideas has a great video about why that is a horrible (and classist) take. Highly recommend the Jamie Oliver and nuggets video.
Thanks for clarification! ;) Grüße aus Lübeck!
Canned Vienna sausages are pretty common in the U.S., but I think are a lot different. I'd describe them as less dense lower quality mini hot dogs. What you've got looks more like what we'd call little smokies which are popular as party snacks and packaged in vacuum sealed plastic.
They’re almost like a hybrid between the US canned Vienna sausages and the little smokies. The consistency doesn’t look right for Vienna sausages, and they seem a bit too big and perhaps not “crisp” enough for little (lil?) smokies (the actual “lil smokies” need to be cooked prior to eating too) . I suppose there’s a lot of different combinations when you’re just throwing random junk meat into a sleeve.
@@infinitelybantayou can eat lil smokies cold. I do it when i have leftovers from pigs in a blanket (around christmas)
@@infinitelybanta Mmmm... meat sleeve.
Dogs in jumpers/coats is one of my greatest joys when out and about, so it was a lovely surprise to see Eva all cosy in her jumper!
Always find it funny that they have a list of chemicals in ingrediants, then they give you a warning about celery.
explain it
to be fair, sodium nitrate is a known carcinogen but very good at preserving foods, and happen to be [resent in very high levels in celery powder (which is why celery powder is used in many cured meats).
Most people with known allergies are aware that a certain chemical or another will trigger their allergy. Just as much as some types of foods are allergens and can trigger one, even in trace amounts, therefore by law, producers include those to both inform their clients and avoid liability. Not really that weird if you think about it, just a way to help people :)
It's the same reason they put hot warning on cup of coffies in shops so You can't sue them because you are a moron
They warn people of ingredients that are commonly allergens for many people. It wouldn't make any sense to warn of ingredients that almost everyone can eat. Hence why most packaging will warn customers about peanuts or seafood, but not salt.
The fact that the contents of the can isn't weird makes this episode, compared to the usual weirdness, a weird one. So it should be fair to say you still fulfill the requirements for this to be a Weird "Stuff in a Can" video.
Eva saying “yes please” to when you said “these are going to go flying out the bun when I take a bite” was great timing! 😊 never change Eva!
The Vienna sausages I’m familiar with here in the US are very much more finely textured, without skins, without ends (think of taking a hot dog and cutting off the ends) and are packed in the can all standing up so tightly that you nearly can’t get them out without breaking one up, and there’s very little liquid. They are also very bland.
I’m only familiar with them because they also used to be very inexpensive and I was rather poor.
Sometimes watching these videos is like coming home - you can sit back, put your feet up, relax and enjoy. A bright spot every weekend.
In the Army decades ago we had little cans of Beanee Weenees similar to this, and they were amazing in the field warmed up next to a fire or on one of the heating units we had. In a pinch you could heat em on the engine block of whatever vehicle was handy, but you'd get a faint hint of diesel if you did that. Every once in a while I have to pick up a can and nosh them when I'm camping, just for the memories.
As someone else mentioned, these look a lot like the Hilshire Farm Little Smokies, which are pretty delicious and make excellent snack/side dish choices.
I'm so happy you linked the wobbledog video in the description. Time for a re-watch. As far as Vienna sausages goes that was something my family only ate out of necessity here in America, but i'm sure there are people who enjoy them. Can't say i'm too fond of them now but we loved them as poor children. Shame the sausages are too small for Wobbledog.
In Belguim we call these kind of sausages “tv worstjes” ( the not spicy ones). In the seventies this was a very popular snack to eat watching tv , usually with some mustard. The most popular brand is ZWAN.
In the US, cocktail weiners used to be a very popular cocktail party snack. Wrap a Vienna sausage up in some canned croissant dough, bake them in the oven, put them on a platter with a paper doily and some dipping mustard and serve. Also put Vienna sausages on a toothpick with a chunk of cheese and a green olive. In my mind, I can still see the '60s ads with proud housewives serving these to their guests.
A tiny little can of tiny little sausages cooked in a tiny pan placed on a tiny little bun 😂 i laughed so hard thank you mr. shrimp 😂😂😂
The return of the tiny pan! Im so glad to see it, it felt like a main character for a few videos a while back
I'd forgotten about the Wobble Dog - made me laugh, thanks!
American style Vienna sausages are packed by the 7 into a can, all parallel to each other, in a pattern with one in the center and six around it, similar to tbe arrangement of bullets in a revolver. They are kind of like hotdogs but softer, and they have a briney canned flavor. They are cut from larger pieces, and you usually get an end piece or two in your can. The first bite is pretty tasty but each bite gets worse. I can usually only get through 3 or 4 of them when I have a craving.
I'm from the southern US and grew up poor and out in the countryside. We used these and potted meat as fishing, hunting and power outage meals along with a pack of saltines. I think they were popular with hunters because they are so bland and have very little aroma. Also, we didn't have a lot of ready-to-eat options back in the day - 45 to 50 years ago. Sardines were popular too, but they are far too fragrant for hunters. I never eat them now, but they are in my pantry in case of an extended power outage.
Same here, other than the sardines. I won't touch those.
My Mr fondly remembers his grandma taking him down to the creek at the end of her street for a little picnic with sardines and saltines. After they would eat, she'd sit and watch him build little houses for ants :-). She worked on factory assembly lines from the time she was about 13 so I imagine an afternoon sitting with her dear little grandson and food she didn't have to work to make was a lovely treat for her.
I just had a thought and went to check, and apparently Glühwein (German mulled wine) in a can is a thing. You can even get it in self-heating cans - although I don't know why someone would want to. But if you can get your hands on some, I feel like it'd be a great addition to this series.
Im in colorado, vienna sausages here (at least in my experience) is something we used to eat because we were poor...but as an adult, i will occasionally get a hankering for them and buy a can and eat them and enjoy the nostalgia!
Ours look a bit different, they are light in color and not puckered at the ends, more like sliced open. What you have here we call "little weenies" in my family. We usually have them for summer cookouts, toss them in a crockpot with bbq sauce.
😂 The wobble-dog threw me! I must have missed an episode.
I’m glad you qualified that it was PART of your Christmas present from your sister or it might have been in the running for the “worst Christmas present” award! 🤣🤣🤣. As part of a Christmas present though that is absolutely fine! 😂😂
I applaud your renaissance man explorer attitude. It will sound weird but your videos in your own way you have encouraged me to be more open minded and willing to try new ways of thinking and doing things. Also I love the videos with your dog lol
So I live in Germany (near Cologne), and I had to check on all of this names of sausages. Because we have "Wiener" and "Frankfurter" and "Bockwurst" as the main varieties of canned sausages ("Brühwurst").
As far as I know now, "Frankfurter" is basically a "Wiener", but in Austria it's called "Frankfurter", also in the rest of the world it's called "Frankfurter" and there is no original recipe or unique recipe, it's just the style of sausage mildly smoked and cooked.
But I have to admit, i would never ever eat a chicken or poultry variety of these, they have to be made out of pork and beef.
And although this is food you would often eat at a stop during a road trip or after visiting Ikea or something, it is part of the traditional Christmas Eve food, together with "Kartoffelsalat" (potatoe salad), at least in my region of Germany.
Am I correct in assuming you're Dan Quayle, but using a phony name?
in the US they are flat on the ends and packed vertically in the can with some gelatin. They kind of look like little hot dogs but they don't really taste like them.
Hi Mike,
First off I love the weird stuff in a can series, always a winner in my feed (all of your content is to be fair 😂)
Secondly the Wobble Dog reminded me of something you’d almost certainly get in slaughter valley and wondered if that project was parked for just now or if it had reached the end of its natural course?
Keep up the great videos!
Nice callbacks. It's been a while since we've seen the wobble dog.
The Gilbert's MUST be purchased, and they MUST then be tested on the Wobble Dog 9003i. Also, dismayed by lack of apology for the omitance of the beloved Tucan Special pop up thingy last time. There are rules and expectations. You created this monster. (absolutely love your channel, obviously)
Omg I laughed out load at that wobble dog contraption, that’s the first time I’ve seen that lol😂
Vienna sausages in a can were a staple of our Christmas hampers in the '60's. Never got eaten until nearer Easter, usually cut up into baked beans.
When the world gets too loud, these videos are the best way to relax and just calm down.
4:20 the little frying pan returns!! 🤣
What we have in many areas in the USA for canned "vienna sausages", it's Armour brand and they look like they were sliced off a longer, extruded meat tube before being stuffed in the can. They don't have the nice little pinch on the end, and they aren't floating in some liquid, they're packed in very tight and have a kind of gel in the spaces between.
My sister is a vegetarian and she brought us a pack of vegetarian hot dogs. At first my brother, my wife and I were saying "Eww.. yuck.. gross.." But after trying them we now love them. With mustard and/or relish and/or ketchup and/or cheese on a toasty bun they taste even better than regular hot dogs. Cheers from Canada.
🌭😋👍
I have to wonder if any of the BX or PX at the US bases have regular hot dogs. If you know any service members you might be able to get a pack that way.
I forgot about the wobble dog hahahahahaha thank you Mr Shrimp I needed that today, your humor always cheers me up.
Excellent video, Mike. Just an observation: hot dogs should have hot dog buns, English mustard. tomato sauce and fried onions. IT'S THE LAW! Don't let Johnny Foreigner tell you any different.
The cheapo ones from Asda are delicious.
Vienna Sausage is pretty common in the US. It’s somewhat similar to canned potted meat. Fun fact - mechanically separated meat comes from tumbling carcass scraps in something similar to a washing/dryer machine with ‘fingers’
The bun on the plate at the end looks like a giant, delicious coconut fried shrimp. I'm just going to assume it was intentional and say, well done! 😂
Finally another use for the novelty cookie pan!
I'm sure he can make a singular drop scone in it as well.
Don't know if it's already been said, but I find it so heartwarming that your colleagues, friends and family appreciate your quirks and work on your channel so much that you get canned goods as gifts ❤❤❤
Here in the Midwest, we eat Vienna brand all beef hotdogs, or the beans that makes Superdawg. The company also made Costco's dogs before they switched to making their own.
Vienna sausages here have a very fine texture, mild flavor, and high cereal content. They’re usually open at the ends.
Hi Mike back in the 50s and 60s Vienna Sausages were in every New Jersey, US supermarket. they are the same as hotdogs only shorter. They were also called cocktail weiners and served with toothpicks in them and mustard to dip them in. One can also get them in Mexico, where I live now.
Yum Polish mustard. Eva looks very stylish in her sweater hehehe Jim
My Mr recalls as a very small child being given an opened can of vienna (vy-EEN -uh) sausages into which apple cider vinegar was poured and taking them out onto the front steps to eat them. He did not enjoy the sausages (he doesn't like any of the emulsified pork sausage types) but liked the vinegar "sauce" (he's a sour flavor kind of guy).
American's perspective, we also have these here and they're pretty common. Never seen hot and spicy ones like you have, but we have original, and smoked flavors. I don't eat them because of the smell but from what my mother has said, they taste like soft hot dogs. Another thing is that ours aren't in a casing to my knowledge, and theyre pinkish tan.
Brit here. In the seventies I had Jewish friends who always bought Vienna sausages (beef) from the Jewish deli. They were always small and the kids loved them.
That mustard is one of the best ones there is.
You're always left with a nice mug afterwards 😅
Adding to what some have been saying about the canned "vienna sausages" sold in the US being different and softer in texture, they are also generally (at least in all my experiences) eaten cold and straight from the can. I had a friend (who has never had them) who considered it very strange to do such a thing, but everyone I know who eats them does so in this way. They wouldn't hold up to cooking very well from what I can tell, to be honest. They do come in various flavors, including smoked, jalapeno, and hot and spicy, but the hot and spicy ones come in more of a sauce than a brine. They're definitely considered a snack and not a 'nice' kind of food or for meals or such, but it's nice to have those kinds of foods here and there.
Personally I like to keep some cans in my car for whenever I might need something, like when a friend and I went on an impromptu hike and didn't bring much in the way of food.
Other than the little vienna sausages like you have, I've never seen canned or jarred hotdogs in the US before. There is a brand here called Vienna that makes typical American hotdogs that are MUCH better in taste and texture than the little ones in a can. They're the ones used in traditional Chicago-style hotdogs.
In 65 years, traveled most of the USA mainland and never saw a jar of hot dogs either.
In the US Vienna sausages tend to be soft, soggy, and cut from a continuous shaft so there aren't usually crimped ends and is usually Eastern cold. What you have there looks more like what's sold as ”cocktail weenies” here and is usually eaten hot or room temperature after being heated. And if you're pretentious, each on an individual toothpick.
My home Canadian Province (Newfoundland and Labrador) considers Maple Leaf Vienna Sausages as a 'traditional food" and accounts for a percentage of all sales in Canada far above what you would expect from a population of only half a million. The sausages are essentially 7 (I think) short wieners staked vertically in the can, which is about the same size as the one in your vid. They are almost always eaten cold, often right out of the tin, and are the go-to food to take with you for lunch at work or on going 'out in the woods' trouting or snowmobiling or whatever. You should definitely get a tin to try.
Watching from France, sausages in a can feel weird indeed. The closest we have to these is cocktail sausages, but I’ve only ever seen them vacuum packed. They aren’t nicely arranged in rows or bunches, rather thrown haphazardly into a weird distinctive ball-like shape.
Love ya atomic shrimp! Your videos are the best. Be safe, stay healthy.
Dude from Vienna here,
In the German speaking world, we'd say "Wiener" in most of Germany and "Frankfurter" in Austria. It's the same sausage though and we never managed to agree on one term.
Sausages like Käsekrainer, Debreziner, Krakauer you will get at the sausage stand and they're better than any Wiener/Frankfurter any day. 🙂
Hey Shrimp,
will you do more ration packs testing, out in the field/forest in the future? I found these very entertaining since your concept is different to just plainly opening them, but actually being out and about.
Yeah, when the days get a bit longer
My experience with these is being served as appetizers. They are wrapped in a crescent roll (also out of a can) and baked till golden or in a chaffing dish with grape jelly as the sauce. Sounds weird but tastes good. I’m in the northeast US.
That sandwich actually looks bangin 😂🤤
In the US, Vienna sausages are softer and if you mash them, it will make a patè very similar to American potted meat. Both products are VERY cheap and largely seen as struggle foods. I consider them sister products and they sit on store shelves next to each other. I'm from southeastern Kentucky and the pronunciation is changed in the common vernacular there to sound like VI-eenie. That part of Appalachia loves to twist vowel sounds away from the accepted English pronunciation. And use double negatives, lol. One love ❤
my grandmother used to feed me vienna sausages on a toothpick as a little treat while she was cooking. the ones she gave me looked a little different. these look super tasty, hope youre well :)
Every hotel, that serves breakfast, here in Finland serves those little Vienna sausages along with wafer thin bacon.
I'm so pleased you put something under the cheesey top of your breadcake! I was beginning to panic!
Now the Vienna that i know from Cans here in the USA are missing the casing around the Sausage.... Thanks for sharing Shrimp.
As an American, those look more like what we know as Little Smokies. Vienna Sausages here are much lower quality than the product you have there and are sliced from a longer sausage so they are flat on both ends.
Other Americans have mentioned Little Smokies but I wanted to add the traditional way of eating them is at a potluck in a church fellowship hall. They are always warmed in a crockpot with a sauce consisting of BBQ sauce, spices, and grape jelly.
aw, Eva looks so cute in her jumper!!
I would never had imagined eating vienna sausages in a sandwich. Though I’ve never imagined eating a vienna sausage. I’ve always thought of them as toddler food.
What are saveloys called in Australia?
Little boys
Contributor's comments: Little boys is also used for saveloys in SA. Contributor's comments: Little boys are also known as "savs" ie saveloys in Victoria, hence also a rhyming slang - saveloys = little boys (as well as the obvious) - called cherrios also in northern NSW.
You can get beef hotdogs in the chiller at Costco in Southampton
In Grenada that’s a West Indian dish mostly for breakfast, we fry them with onions having chopped them long diagonally so one sausage gives you about 3 slices, add curry powder and Ketchup near the end to cover as a wettish sauce; served with baked bread. It’s delicious 😂! Check out a video by Trini Design titled Breakfast Sausage (that’s hers which is slightly different to my way), but that’s similar to how I have mine.
I am in the US, my first time trying Vienna sausages was with someone who was ex military, they loved them and I thought they were okay, just a bit bland. But my favorite hot dogs are either Nathans with the Skin on all beef, or Boars head (I preferr Nathans). Sad you don't have access to them they are really good, especiallyl chopped up and baked with puff pasterie (pigs in a blanket). Thanks for the review!
I was in my local Pets at home shop and I saw Brewdog dog biscuits made from spent grain, in a can! I thought they would be a fun addition to your Weird stuff in a can series if you have a Pets at home near you, I always love seeing Eva.
Those remind me of the kind of sausages we crock pot in a barbecue sauce as a party food here in the States.
Weird stuff in a can is one of my favorite segments you do. This isn’t too weird for me though. Most American hot dogs I’ve bought, as an American myself, always have a bit of brine in the packet itself. They’re in the refrigerator section of the supermarket. I honestly wish they sold these in cans so I could buy them in bulk for grill-outs.
Here in the US, Armor is one of the more common brands of Vienna Sausages that I find.
They sell both Vienna sausages as well as cans of potted meat. I'm fairly sure they use the same meat in both cans, as I have tasted both and found little difference between the two. Other than the barely-there sausage casing and the brine the sausages sit in, of course.
The reason we don’t have imported American brands is probably because they don’t meet our food standards. The FDA don’t ban substances from food unless they’ve been proven to cause harm, whereas the rest of the world won’t allow substances unless they’ve been proven to not cause harm. There are some very good videos on here explaining it better than I ever could
Vienna Sausages are most commonly made by Libby's or Armour. They are packed very tightly in a hexagon formation, vertically in gelatin. They are skinless and possess a mushy texture.
American here - in the US hot dogs are often all-beef but also often a combination of beef and chicken or beef and pork. The webpage you showed seems to be similar to American all-beef hotdogs, but hard to tell if the spice proportions, texture, etc are the same as the American ones without tasting them.
One of the reasons you might have trouble getting American products in another part of the world is the number of unpronounceable chemicals that go into a lot of our processed foods. A lot of them are actually illegal in other countries. Plus those look like little Smokies. A shrunken version of a Big Red Smokie. If you're not familiar they're basically a small smoked polish sausage. The Vienna sausages I'm familiar with are basically just small tube shaped bologna crossed with spam
We used to buy these at the PX (post exchange) when I was in the army a long time ago. Sometimes, they're better than what's being served in the mess. We ate them straight out of the can.
Okay, this one´s really interesting: at about 1:40 you can see the Origin-Marking (the circle on the bottom side of the can) - DE EV3 EG. If you google that number, it tells you that those sausages were produced by Boeklunder, a german company. They´re quite famous here, and sold all over germany - under the Boeklunder brand, as well as by Aldi, Lidl and so on under theyr own brands. The only difference is, that i´ve never seen them canned. Usually they´re sold in glas jars here.
3:57 what would of been a good comparison is the Wikinger Cocktails which are sold in a jar and are basically cocktail hotdog sausages
I will say that this type of Vienna sausage I am unfamiliar with. In the States they are sections of caseless sausage(?) packed tightly and vertically in the can. They are very finely ground and pasty. The smell is of canned meat, similar to canned pet-food and possibly an acquired taste. I like them. Many do not but they are also popular as a snack. Excellent if you are trying to cut carbs. They really don't have a strong taste or are smoky. Bland even. Those in this video are what we call "little smokies" and come vacuum packed; never seen them in a can. Extremely popular- almost like a sausage and a hot dog had a child together out of wedlock
in Norway vienna sausages, (wienerpølse) are sausages we usually boil, normally in with "skin" on. When they dont have the skin on its grill sausages. And quite a bit longer , eaten in a bun, or a potato tortilla (lompe)
I’m watching a man reviewing a can of hotdogs. I need to sort my life out
These are ENTIRELY different than what im used to living in the US. As someone else said these seem alot closer to lil smokeys used for beanie weenies lol. Vienna's im used to are way softer little meat slurry logs, i do love them drowning them in hot sauce though xD.
You're the best!!
Eva is adorable in her lil sweater. I guess you call them jumpers lol
Vienna sausages in the US aren't very dense, and kind of turn back into a paste when you chew them. They also generally just taste very processed, specifically like canned processed meat like SPAM but less salty. I'd definitely put them more in a category with luncheon meat than actual sausages.
AWWWWWW ❤️ I have a sister named Julie too! I was 17 when she was born, and I actually picked her name (we have a weird family)! Also, canned Vienna sausages in America are *extremely* smooth textured like bologna! Also the ends are cut. Those look like what we call 'lil smokies"
When I was little, I ate Vienna Sausages when my tonsils were taken out, and I loved them. Many years later, I had nothing to eat in my barracks room but two cans of them and I tried one cold, since I forgot what they tasted like....
They were then popped in the microwave and coverer in BBQ sauce from an MRE. They're much better warm than cold...😂😂
Really sad not to see the Wobble Dog. That thing is amazing. I tend to laugh for the entire video when you pull that thing off the shelf! 😂
My American perspective, those look a lot like what people in my area refer to as "Smokies". Small, smoked sausages, frequently served smothered in barbecue sauce at Football parties and large Thanksgiving get-togethers. You'll usually find them in vacuum packs being sold alongside our hotdogs and bacon. Canned vienna sausages, in my experience, are basically bologna formed into small sausage links. Personally, I'd rather take my bologna as large, thin slices as a cold-cut sandwich meat, so I don't eat our vienna sausage often.
The 'vienna sausages' we get in the states have a foam like texture, much less dense than a proper hotdog, and are typucally packed in flavorless gelatin. What you have there appearss more like what we call "little smokies", which come vaccuum sealed not canned, ut have a slightly coarser and heartier texture that americam hot dogs.
First time I've seen anyone else eat that mustard! Not only is it good, but your cupboard fills up with those comically small beer glasses!
