Ever thought the hot dog is exclusive to North America? You’d be wrong. People cook and serve dozens of hot dog styles and sausage all around the world. From the Idaho hot dog in a baked potato to a Guatemalan bacon-wrapped hot dog with an avocado-coated corn tortilla the combinations are endless.
That’s one of the things we love about a hot dog; they are basically a blank canvas onto which your culinary imagination can run wild. Truth be told, we still love ketchup and mustard on hot dogs, but there is the occasion when we yearn for something crazier. More on the edge. Maybe a little spice. Maybe a combination of condiments and toppings that we’ve never thought to try.
You could take any one of these styles and try it on your grill or campfire today. Forget the standard dog for a while and try one of these cool variations at your next campout.
You forgot about the South African “boerewors” hotdog….our genuine South African beef sausage, grilled over hot coals, on a bun with many different toppings.
