Frankfurter
Why I Love This Recipe
The frankfurter is a cured, smoked, and cooked sausage. It is a ready-to-eat sausage or it may be boiled, fried, or grilled for serving. The frankfurter was invented 215 years ago in Vienna, Austria. Later German immigrants brought the technology to the USA. The terms frankfurter, wiener, or hot dog are practically interchangeable today. When the term "need frankfurter" is used, the sausage is made of pure beef only.
