But what about Wieners? And how are Frankfurters different from hot dogs?

Frankfurters are 100% pork meat while wiener würstchen (hotdogs) are pork/beef mixed.

The last census 1/5th of Americans claimed German heritage. That's were we got hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken fried steak from, but Germans probably wouldn't recognize the American equivalent food these days.

[Radaney]

Yep, we call them Hallmark Holidays.


Gotta love how even a Hallmark Holiday thread can turn into an American bashing thread. I should make an Internet "law" on this.

I wasn't America bashing if that's what you're saying. It happens here too.

It's ridiculous everywhere IMO.

Selfmade Hamburgers with sweet potatoe/batate fries are really the best thing you could eat.

I love to bake brioche buns for my burgers. A good selfmade sauce is important too I like to do my own mexican southwest style sauce.

Tried burger with bison patty recently for first time and it was really delicious, can only recommend it!

Thing is, burgers sold in fast food don't contain those ingredients.

Bullshit.

In Estonia I often see obese beyond any reason Finns near McDonalds... that might give you a clue on what's wrong with those people.

Yeah, people might have something wrong in them. People aren't hamburgers, though.

I rate your flaming and nation bashing effort 0/10.

We need a food section for this forum. I'm sure we can bring together some good recipes with cultural influences from all around the world.

German food is good, except for sauerkraut.

Are you fu**ing kidding me? Sauerkraut is awesome.

[Puupi]

Are you fu**ing kidding me? Sauerkraut is awesome.

Tastes like shit, smells literally like shit.

Eat gabbage and go shit it out the next day - the smell is sauerkraut.

And badger dogs...
I have a couple of the little critters.

[Puupi]

hotdogs, chicken fried steak

Americans are awesome at naming things.

Hot Dogs - no fucking dog in them.

Chicken fried steak - no chicken in it.

[shadowmouse]

Sauerkraut is awesome.

And Chinese!

[Nerovar]

And Chinese!

Is it? I'm pretty sure conserved cabbage isn't something that's tied to certain nations. Could be wrong though.

I'll be making my own burgers out of 80/20 ground chuck, as I generally do. I think we'll be having them with montreal steak seasoning and baked chedder and bacon potato skins, and probably some salad.
Going to a restaurant for a burger just never made any sense to me - why pay someone else more money for an inferior product?

Hot Dogs - no fucking dog in them.

Chicken fried steak - no chicken in it.

Chicken Fried Steak makes sense though. It's a steak that is breaded and fried like chicken

Agreed that hot dogs are weird.

They aren't holidays though, nor are they actually recognized by any kind of authority.

Basically any tard can go on the internet and go "It's National X Day!" and it'll be a thing to the tards who share it.

[AeneasBK]

I hear this is a huge day in India.

My first thoughts were along that line...

How term "hot dog" came about.
Another story that riles serious hot dog historians is how term "hot dog" came about. Some say the word was coined in 1901 at the New York Polo Grounds on a cold April day. Vendors were hawking hot dogs from portable hot water tanks shouting "They're red hot! Get your dachshund sausages while they're red hot!" A New York Journal sports cartoonist, Tad Dorgan, observed the scene and hastily drew a cartoon of barking dachshund sausages nestled warmly in rolls. Not sure how to spell "dachshund" he simply wrote "hot dog!" The cartoon is said to have been a sensation, thus coining the term "hot dog." However, historians have been unable to find this cartoon, despite Dorgan's enormous body of work and his popularity.

And chicken fried steak is called as such because its "chicken fried" as in fried like you do for fried chicken, just on cube steak.

It's a really stupid thing to celebrate, but hey it's still hamburgers.

Just got back from LA yesterday. I had 2 of these during my visit :



Umami manly burger, soooooooooooooo delicious. One of the greatest burger I know on earth.

[Sunseeker]

I don't see the point in how many hamburgers you can eat, just eat one REALLY good one.

[Khaza-R]

I think this holiday should really be about publically shaming those who order their burgers well done
