off-topic? Another question on hot dogs

[A. Vine]

All,

Now that we are all well-versed on the origin of term "hot dog", thanks to Barry
Popik and others, I was wondering if anyone knew when and where the sausage we
now call the hot dog originated.

Now, the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council has a history - should I believe
it?

(Barry, please don't look at this page, it will only depress you...)

Regards,
Andrea
