    Oh come on, don’t be naïve. They bought two factories so they could switch from “hot dogs” to “mechanically-recovered animal-based byproducts” let’s be realistic

      Aw man I thought they were still free range prairie dog peckers. Oh wait, they’ve always been cheap sausages.

        You wouldn’t legally be allowed to call them sausage in the EU 😂

          Frankfurters and Vienna sausages are the types of sausages used in hot dogs, both legal sausages in the EU.

            My point is “with a legally mandated meat content in the EU” but the folks in this thread ate so much fucking slop they have no clue what they’re shovelling in their fat faces 😂

          I’ve never heard anyone refer to a hotdog as a sausage in the states either and I even grew up poor

            It’s more like everyone knows it’s a sausage. What else could it be? We don’t call them frankfurters either.

              Yeah I’ve been thinking about it and I can’t find any other way to classify it… even the packaging though doesn’t call it a sausage

      Do you really expect hot dog sausages to be made from premium meat? They use the scraps that can’t otherwise be used, same as chicken nuggets. This is a good thing. Those sausages and nuggets are perfectly fine to eat and we get to reduce waste.

      We’re you under the impression any hot dogs were ever anything other than mechanically-recovered animal-based byproducts?

      They bought the same hotdog factories that they were already buying hotdogs from. It was literally a one-to-one transition.
