I love a good hot dog. No, stop your giggling. I mean a real Coney Island style hot dog. Most American hot dogs are what those around the world might call a Frankfurter, although there are some slight differences. It’s that distinct snap and smooth texture, salty but not overpowering taste that makes these dogs so very good. Thanks to Independence Day in the States, and the corresponding barbecues and propaganda, I always associate hot dogs with freedom. So, when all my dear South African friends go off to celebrate your freedom to vote tomorrow, I will be thinking of this delicious hot dog served with German mustard and sauerkraut.

I could actually go for good hotdogs – but with Bratwurst or Cheese Russians.

Bratwurst… Is that when they put Justin Bieber in a meat grinder and he ends up in a sausage casing?
