When I got to the hot dog place here in Atlanta, I discovered a very simple but very popular hot dog, and that was the naked dog, which is just a bun and a sausage. The simplest hot dog I’ve ever met. Back home, I remember the simplest hot dog consist of bun, sausage, mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, pineapple and Korean-style spicy carrot.
Hot dogs can be found anywhere now, so I just wondered what is popular through hot dogs in other countries, and I have found 5 quite different numbers of ingredients that makes these 5 international hot dogs special.
1. Brazilian hot dog.
The hot dogs (yes, more than one) are split and griddled, and placed on bread that has been smeared with tomato sauce, a slice of melty cheese on both sides, a sprinkling of crunchy potato sticks, and a handful of corn kernels.
2. Chilean hot dog
The hot dog is nestled in a freshly toasted and particularly good bun, topped with sauerkraut, chopped tomatoes, avocado puree, and mayonnaise—then, as if that weren't enough, ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce are placed on the table.
3. Greek hot dog.
This delicious thing is simply a bun with the sausage, plus Tzatziki (which is strained yogurt mixed with garlic, salt, some lemon juice and drill/parsley/mint) added with some chopped cucumbers and some kalamata olives.
4. Korean style hot dog.
Just imagine having Asian mustard, kimchi (it is Korean side dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasoning), and some red onions on top of the sausage in a bun. Sounds very different.
5. If you want to get really wild, try topping a dog with Lingonberry jam with caramelized onions and gravy mixed together. These are the toppings for the Swedish hot dog. Yes, a hot dog with jam.
Some may sound weird, but you never know until you try!
