Answer 2

The history of the hot dog began with the Babylonians in Babylonia (in modern day Iraq) around 1500 B.C. ; who stuffed animal intestines with spicy meats. ...Several civilizations adopted, modified, or independently created the dish; the Greeks called it orya, the Romans salsus, the origin of our word "Sausage". ...The decline of the sausage preceded that of the Roman Emire. ..According to the oldest known Roman cookbook, written in A.D. 228, sausage was a favorite dish at the annual pagan festival Lupercalia, held Febuary 15 in honor of the pastoral god Lupercus. ..The celebration included sexual initiation rites, and some writers have suggested that sausage served as more than just a food. ..The early Catholic Church is known to have outlawed the Lupercalia and made eating sausage a sin. ..And when Constantine the Great, the fourth - century emperor of Rome, embraced Christianity, he, too, banned sausage consumption. ..As would happen in the twentieth century with liquor prohibition, the Roman populace indulged in "bootlegged" sausage to such an extent that officials, conceding the ban was unenforceable, eventually repealed it. ...The evolution of the broad sausage to a slender hot dog began during the Middle Ages. ..Butchers' guilds in various European city - states coveted regional sausage formulas, producing their own distinctive shapes, thickness, and brands, with names denoting the places of origin. ..Weiner wurst--"Vienna sausage" --eventually gave birth to the German-American term "wiener" and "wienie". ...In Scotland, oatmeal, a common and copious food, became one of the earliest cereal fillers for sausage, starting a practice that then, as now, made pork or beef all too often a secondary ingredient. ..In Germany, sausages were thick, soft, and fatty, and it was in that country that the "frank" was born in the 1850s.

Answer 3

The meat in hot dogs usually comes from pigs or cattle.

Some say it's low quality meat, meaning meat meat that comes from parts of the animal that people do not like to eat as a cut piece. This might include pig lips, remnants that could not be removed form the bone as whole cuts, etc. and was certainly originally the primary source of sausage meat. Unless you get a specialty product specifically marketed as including those older recipes, modern sausages in the US are generally made from the same cuts of meat as the rest of our food.

The meat must then be mixed with a substantial amount of added fat or it will not properly form a hot dog or sausage.
