Hot dogs are essentially Knockworst, but slimmer and longer.
Common Condiments include:
Mustard
Relish (chopped sweet pickles)
Onions
Ketchup
Sauerkraut
Chili
Common Methods of preparation of the hotdog include:
Steaming (especially in beer)
Boiling
Grilling
Deep frying
Microwaving
A less common method, which we used in college was electrocution.
Two forks were attached to a wooden board with the tines pointing toward
each other such that the hot dog would be pierced by the tines on each end
oc the dog.
A line cord was attached with one wire going to to each fork.
A hotdog would be inserted between the tines, and then it acted as a
big resistor whe the line cord was plugged in.
About 30-60 seconds and the hot dog was ready. :-)
Unplug, remove hotdog, put in roll, add condiments, and eat. :-)
BTW, you want pretty good contact with the tines (stick in 14 to 1/2
inch) to prevent arcing (and a burnt taste there).
