Fortunately, we have an outstanding German Metzger in Mex. City who supplies us with the real thing. Frankfurters and Nürnbergers.
agree T Crotogino : A staple of my childhood. North American hot dogs pale in comparison.

agree Alison Schwitzgebel : Did you hear about the Belgian company who recently got into trouble when they found they were using dog-food meat in their Frankfurters? I mean Yuck!!!

agree Gareth McMillan : Alison, also the Köln company who was putting bankrupt stock cattle feed into their top selling Kinderwürstchen product? They claimed they only did it once in an emergency because they'd run out of meal. Hope you don't feed your offspring on this stuff.

wiener

this is a synonym for wiener, I think the word is mainly used in southern Germany, at least we use it in the region where I'm from (near Stuttgart)

Sausage abuse

Just in case you're all getting hungry and start reaching for the tin of frankfurters, here's an excerpt from some lecture notes I translated on disinfection in the food industry:

"HVAC plants supply these rooms with a moist, warm climate. The sausage is brought to ripeness over a 2 to 3 week period. Micro-organisms specially introduced to the sausage bring about a particular flavour.
The ideal conditions for ripening sausage can also, however, lead to related outgrowths. These pictures are shocking and certainly not typical. Many factors just aren’t right here. These photos do not come from Germany. However, similar, although less severe effects are also an everyday problem with us. These small white pixels are also mould.
In practice, such infestations are washed off with sorbic acid and the sausage is sold. Because the moulds produce toxins, this is an irresponsible practice."

p.s. these things are hardly ever smoked nowadays- they're just given a smokey taste using the above methods.

Still hungry?

Anything with a skin on it? ADD: Certainly not if they're anything like texty's getting from his sausage supplier..
agree Textklick : I get my sausages in the Schwarzwald direct from a smoking farmer. But enough frivolity > Diversion to Loriot's "Advent" poem: http://www.my-flow.com/blah/advent.html?sid=3ed2b893f64d26db... Wonderful German.

Your supplier should try using less abraisive skins.
