Replace the hotdog with regular sausage (cooked on a barbecue), and you've literally got Australia's favourite weekend food. Onions (also barbecued) and tomato sauce optional.

As long as you arent putting your sausage in others peoples bread, you can put your sausage on your own bread however you like. We're in currentyear. Non-standard sausage behaviour is perfectly acceptable now.

Except veggie sausages, no one likes those. And the ones who say they do are just lying and they know it!

Zagorath@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 354d

Nah, I'm all about inclusivity. Every sausage sizzle should have veggie and gluten-free options available, even if I myself am never going to have them. I bought gluten-free sausages by accident last time I bought sausages, and it is definitely not as good.

I have actually seen people do sausage sizzle (at backyard barbies) onto a burger bun before—you break the sausage in half and it fits really well. But never a hotdog bun. How interesting.

IMO thats not even a struggle.

Real struggle is when you don't even have a hot dog so you just make a mustard sandwich. That's what my childhood was like.

I could get ramen for $0.11 each if I bought a pack. I lived on that for months. A hotdog without bread or condiments cost more. A hotdog was fucking luxury.

When I was 18 and my parents moved away, I only had $30 for food that first month. I was able to get ramen for 10/$1 and it got me through. It took me many years to be able to enjoy ramen after I was able to afford not being forced to eat it.

When I was in college I lived off the really cheap ramen... until it literally made me sick.

I can afford the higher quality ramen now (air fried, actual vegetable packets) which is a little more expensive (but still comparatively cheap). Still a great go-to day snack to keep me going.

doingthestuff@lemy.lol · 1 pts · 354d (2 replies)

The really cheap stuff is NOT good. I still buy occasionally unfortunately. What brands have actual real vegetables packets? I have a great international market near me but they have like 600 kinds of ramen. I'd like to outsource filtering through them for the good ones.

Gork@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 354d (1 reply)

The Nongshim Shin Black ramen has a good veggie packet, has relatively large mushrooms, a bone broth packet, and the spicy seasoning packet. It's about $2 a pack where I live (US). It's great though, my favorite ramen so far.

This is my go-to solution when I've got hotdogs and hamburger buns but no hamburgers or hotdog buns.

frog@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 354d

I have done this. Cutting it in half creates a flat surface so the bread isn't thinner in one area, the gaps are all condiments, and it prevents the hotdog from rolling out.

I never understood how this was somehow a sign of being poor. I don't buy hotdog buns. I have always ate my hotdogs this way.

GroundedGator@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 353d

This is my preferred consumption method. Buy a bag of hotdog buns and they have a single purpose, be a fluffy sausage pocket.

Hotdog buns with:

  • PB & J - too much bread and possibly to sloppy
  • In place of sandwich bread - nice try Satan.

It is a bread product designed with a singular purpose.

A loaf of sandwich bread, that is like the Swiss army knife of bread.

Simulation6@sopuli.xyz · 13 pts · 355d (5 replies)

Tortillas are actually good for hotdogs. White bread tends to fall apart with mustard or relish.

nailingjello@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 355d

Hotdogs wrapped in a tortilla are awesome, especially while camping. Saves soooo much space compared to a bag of buns and can't be squished so easily.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 354d

I put down a slice cheese first, that seals the bread from anything wet, like sauerkraut or condiments.

originaltnavn@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 355d

Depending on how you define tortilla, this is the default way in Norway. At least when I was a kid we grilled and ate them like this with ketchup, mustard and crispy onions, can recommend.

yyprum@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 354d

I'm glad to see others sharing the best way to eat a hotdog.

I found it on my own, had tortillas from making tacos, but run out of meat, so I checked what else I had, and there it was, a perfectly nice sausage. So I made myself a Mex dog and I loved it, much better than with buns and a lot less messy.

Unpopular opinion, but I got used to eating hot dogs growing up with regular sliced bread and I might even prefer it. The bun/dog ratio is good. However, I know it's more bread and is contradictory, but Danish hot dogs are my favorite.

Mustard on one side, ketchup on the other. Roll the dog back and forth a bit so the condiments spread out and don't soak through the bread.

I never noticed how modest my childhood lifestyle was until my 1st grade teacher asked the class what we all did for vacation during the school break. I worked on a ranch or stayed home playing with secondhand toys. I remember thinking "wait... is this what people do? How?" I remember missing out on many opportunities as a child (travel, sports, restaurants, etc) due to finances, but still don't consider it being a "poor" upbringing overall. My parents did the best they could with what they had, and I think having limited opportunities actually helped me be more creative with my time.

Anyway, back to the point... when we had them available sometime after getting a microwave, I ate hot dogs like this periodically in elementary school through college.

Pacattack57@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 353d (2 replies)

The real question is why the hell would you place the hot dog in this direction. Being vertical means the bread will not fully wrap around the dog and therefore not hold any condiments. Horizontally will allow for adequate condiments. The only downside being the ends of the bread will have hotdog sticking out.

The real struggle is that people will rather eat sausages made of oil and trash. Bread whiter than snow. Ketchup made from apples and sugar.

There is nothing wrong with using bread, but if you struggle then rather eat cabbage, onions, carrots, oats.
