      Mate, if you use frankfurters at your sausage sizzle I’m going to have some complaints

    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.

      The rest of the world is so adverse to the idea of using bread, it’s crazy. It’s the same cheapo white bread inside either way and who wants all that extra dough of a roll anyway, bleugh.

      And they say Australians have no culture smh

      If you want the ultimate feed, buy a half loaf of bread and cut it horizontally for the biggest sausage in bread ever:

          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!

              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 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.

      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.

      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 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.

          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.

            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.

          I got spam and beatings as a kid. The ramen was when I moved out at 17. It got better by the time I was 20.

    Am i the only one who would cut it in half and then cut those in half if it was going on white bread? I would then stack them and make an actual sandwich.

    When I was a kid this was just how you ate hotdogs at home. Chili dog was an open face sandwich.

    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.

    Flat the sandwich bread with a rolling pin or a bottle (or whatever you have) then cover the weiner all around, at thins point you can add breadcrumbs and egg or leave it. Put it om airfryer for a while and there you go. Korean hot dog

      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.

      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.

    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.
