One common food in this is the hot dog lies with the so-called Frankfurt sausage, or frankfurter, which was often grilled and served in a sausage bun. The history of the hot dog went to ancient periods when sausages developed in Frankfurt-am-Main in Germanyas a popular food. This was supposedly around 1487, when this type of sausage Modern hot dogs result from the efficient use of packaged or processed meat was developed. Frankfurt, to this day, still celebrates this time as remains after the origin processing of their famous sasuagesmeat products. However, Vienna disputes FrankfurtThe hot dog's claims, as the term "wiener" history is often used to refer to sausages seen or hot dogs, which suggests an origin attributed to from that city at an even earlier period. This term for sausages or hot dogs derives from the German name for the city (Wien).<ref>For more on terms used to refer to sausagesorigins, see: Kraig, B.

Sausages became common in Europe and much of the Old World, but cultures developed them While these traditions often point to fit a Medieval origin to their local tastes and meat varieties, which is why there are many meat varieties for sausages. Therefore, it is likely there is truth that Vienna and Frankfurt both had existing sausage traditions we know in reality that sausages likely then influenced what would become the hot doggo back much further in time. Similar to ancient periodsIn Homer's Odyssey, the Medieval period saw continued use a type of sausages due to the ease in which the food preserves and its convenient packagingsausage or processed meat is mentioned. Sausages were often among the few types of meats that non-elites could consumeIn fact, as it was among the cheaper meats to obtain because it was generally preserved. While the use of early as ancient Sumeria and Mesopotamia, about 4000 years ago, animal intestines for food packaging would make us think there is were mentioned in texts as being used to be then stuffed with meat as a high probability type of sickness or infection, which was cuisine. It is very likely the case sausages developed as separate innovations in varying cultures, given the past, it also likely helped make Europeans and others develop immunity from some parasites that would be found in animal intestines. Thus, one could argue that sausages potentially helped improve health or at least immunity from some sicknesses.<ref>For more on what is in a sausage 's utility and its history, see: Dalby, A.

====The American Hot Dog====The American hot dog, which is now the hot dog that influenced other countries in adopting this type of food, likely developed from the dachshund sausages served by some German immigrants in the United States. In the 1860s, German immigrants were known to sell dachshund sausages with milk rolls and sauerkraut. In 1871, a German baker, Charles Feltman, opened the first known stand in Coney Island that specifically sold or focused on the dachshund sausages with milk rolls.  In the same year 1893 exhibition in Chicago, a city with many German immigrants, visitors to the city became acquainted with this sausage type. It proved popular as vendors could sell them from their carts, put them in a bun, which was in the German tradition, and serve to customers at a low cost as they were easy to make and preserved well (Figure 2).<ref>For more on the development of the dachshund sausage and its influence on hot dogs, see: Kraig, B., & Carroll, P. (2014). <i>Man bites dog: hot dog culture in America</i>. Taylor Trade Publishing, pg. 44.</ref> In 1893, the first baseball team began to sell the predecessor to the modern hot dog (dachshund sausages) at baseball games. The Saint Louis Browns were the first team to sell these sausages at their games in buns. The owner, Chris Von de Ahe, was a German-American who saw an opportunity in selling to sell these products at games, where they were easy to eat while sitting and watching the game as they required no knife or fork to eat given the shape of the sausages being long and thin. While the sausage buns were not a standard size, in 1904 , Anton Feuchtwanger, at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, helped to develop a bun that fit the sausage's shape of the sausage.  However, some dispute this and state that Feltman in 1871 had already developed a specialized bun that fit the long, thing shaped sausages. It is clear that buns Buns would have developed to fit the increasing culture of eating hot dogs or sausages on the go rather than as a sit -down meal. Therefore, buns became developed so that hot dogs could be held without burning your hand and making it easy to eat.  Regardless, this innovation of hot dog buns made it even easier to hold and consume the sausage as people sat and watched the exhibition or other events. As for the origins of the term 'hot dog,' this is not fully clear. The most likely story is that in the 1890s, at Yale, German immigrants selling dachshund sausages became associated with dachshund dogs, which were thin and long dogs.  The dogs' association of the dogs with the sausage vendors could have been a play on words that associated the two, as pronouncing dachshund was not easy for many Americans , and the term 'hot dog' was used in reference to about the shape and vendors became easier. Other origin myths could have been that 'hot dogs' were a derisive reference to the accusation that dogs were sometimes used as the meat of the hot dogs' meat.<ref>For more on how the sausage became the hot dog, see: Bly, R.

==Later Developments==In the early 1900sTraditional German sausages were mostly made of pork, food manufacturers began to produce hot dogs in larger quantities. At this time, food emulsifiers were often added for further preserve hot dogs as they were packaged and shipped to increasingly more distant places. In fact, in that was the early 1900s it was food manufacturers that created a somewhat negative image of hot dogs that still affects their reputation. During this time, some manufacturers began to add sawdust or applied other short cuts, including mixing meats with different animals common and sometimes even rotting relatively inexpensive meat. Upton Sinclair’s famous publication, <i> The Jungle</i>After intense heating, led to a major backlash against the food manufactures with hot dog manufacturing being one of the culprits. This eventually led to the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. Hot dogsencasing is peeled away, in effect, helped contribute to food safety guidliness in keeping the United States. In the early 20th century, different cities began to create variations of their meat tightly packed for modern hot dogs. New York and Chicago became two major cities that were associated with styles of hot dogs. One type of Chicago hot dog is a kosher style meat with white onionsTraditional sausages, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices and sometimes hot peppers for a spicy hot dog. In New Yorkhowever, there are still sold in many variations but the common elements have included mustard, sauerkraut, stores and with optional sweet onions and tomato-based sauce. Modern ketchup, deriving often still made by butchers in the early 20th century, has also developed as a popular condiment in the early 20th century for hot dogs, although many would argue ketchup ruins the taste of a hot dogmore traditional shops.<ref>For more on the sometimes controversial development of meat packing industry and its relation to the what goes in a hot dogtoday, see: HorowitzHui, RY.

However, the origins of the food are very ancient and its simplicity and its easy of preservation had made the sausage ancestors of the hot dog popular with many cultures. This likely explains why now American style hot dogs have also become popular in many countries, as sausages were often part of the traditional cuisine of many different countries.<references/>
