Replace the hotdog with regular sausage (cooked on a barbecue), and you've literally got Australia's favourite weekend food. Onions (also barbecued) and tomato sauce optional.
As long as you arent putting your sausage in others peoples bread, you can put your sausage on your own bread however you like. We're in currentyear. Non-standard sausage behaviour is perfectly acceptable now.
Nah, I'm all about inclusivity. Every sausage sizzle should have veggie and gluten-free options available, even if I myself am never going to have them. I bought gluten-free sausages by accident last time I bought sausages, and it is definitely not as good.
I have actually seen people do sausage sizzle (at backyard barbies) onto a burger bun before—you break the sausage in half and it fits really well. But never a hotdog bun. How interesting.
I could get ramen for $0.11 each if I bought a pack. I lived on that for months. A hotdog without bread or condiments cost more. A hotdog was fucking luxury.
When I was 18 and my parents moved away, I only had $30 for food that first month. I was able to get ramen for 10/$1 and it got me through. It took me many years to be able to enjoy ramen after I was able to afford not being forced to eat it.
shiiiiittttt....they didn't even have ramen when I was a kid. know what we had? spam and beatings. don't eat your spam? ass beat and go to bed hungry and crying. and you were LUCKY to get government cheese on that fried spam.
When I was in college I lived off the really cheap ramen... until it literally made me sick.
I can afford the higher quality ramen now (air fried, actual vegetable packets) which is a little more expensive (but still comparatively cheap). Still a great go-to day snack to keep me going.
The really cheap stuff is NOT good. I still buy occasionally unfortunately. What brands have actual real vegetables packets? I have a great international market near me but they have like 600 kinds of ramen. I'd like to outsource filtering through them for the good ones.
The Nongshim Shin Black ramen has a good veggie packet, has relatively large mushrooms, a bone broth packet, and the spicy seasoning packet. It's about $2 a pack where I live (US). It's great though, my favorite ramen so far.
Am i the only one who would cut it in half and then cut those in half if it was going on white bread?
I would then stack them and make an actual sandwich.
I have done this. Cutting it in half creates a flat surface so the bread isn't thinner in one area, the gaps are all condiments, and it prevents the hotdog from rolling out.
To be precise It was Great value sliced bread. Great value cheese like slices. Great value mustard. With makers mark beef franks. It was the meal that Sam Walton's zombie corpse made.
Depending on how you define tortilla, this is the default way in Norway. At least when I was a kid we grilled and ate them like this with ketchup, mustard and crispy onions, can recommend.
I'm glad to see others sharing the best way to eat a hotdog.
I found it on my own, had tortillas from making tacos, but run out of meat, so I checked what else I had, and there it was, a perfectly nice sausage. So I made myself a Mex dog and I loved it, much better than with buns and a lot less messy.
Unpopular opinion, but I got used to eating hot dogs growing up with regular sliced bread and I might even prefer it. The bun/dog ratio is good.
However, I know it's more bread and is contradictory, but Danish hot dogs are my favorite.
Flat the sandwich bread with a rolling pin or a bottle (or whatever you have) then cover the weiner all around, at thins point you can add breadcrumbs and egg or leave it. Put it om airfryer for a while and there you go. Korean hot dog
Boil mac and cheese*, drain the pasta, put in industrial cheese powder agent, moisten with water instead of milk, put in butter/margarine/tears and stir.
*Note that this refers to what us Canucks call Kraft Dinner (which has the Kleenex effect going on, kinda). Proper mac and cheese is not a struggle meal in comparison.
I never noticed how modest my childhood lifestyle was until my 1st grade teacher asked the class what we all did for vacation during the school break. I worked on a ranch or stayed home playing with secondhand toys. I remember thinking "wait... is this what people do? How?" I remember missing out on many opportunities as a child (travel, sports, restaurants, etc) due to finances, but still don't consider it being a "poor" upbringing overall. My parents did the best they could with what they had, and I think having limited opportunities actually helped me be more creative with my time.
Anyway, back to the point... when we had them available sometime after getting a microwave, I ate hot dogs like this periodically in elementary school through college.
The real question is why the hell would you place the hot dog in this direction. Being vertical means the bread will not fully wrap around the dog and therefore not hold any condiments. Horizontally will allow for adequate condiments. The only downside being the ends of the bread will have hotdog sticking out.
I mean when you're hungry and don't got any food to cook or money to get some, then yeah it's pretty good. Probably more so depends on if you like yellow mustard enough, which I do. I don't miss those times.
I know right! I got some sandwich bread that a cat got into so needs to be used and I'm sans a fridge ATM so I'm going to get one of those for our five pack of sausages!
I was recently studying all prices per kilogram and price per calorie of the various bread types and I found that the cheapest per kg hot dog buns where actually 0.15$/kg cheaper than the cheapest bread in the store. Not very convenient in the toaster and doesn't brown very well in the countertop convection toaster oven, but 0.15$/kg is 0.15$/kg
man, microwaved hot dog on some nice rye or wheat bread with butter and ketchup was my jam as a kid! I had it all the time when I was home alone on weekends!
Only found decent vegan hot dogs a few weeks ago so I've been having that dish so many times recently, still can't get enough of it haha
Replace the hotdog with regular sausage (cooked on a barbecue), and you've literally got Australia's favourite weekend food. Onions (also barbecued) and tomato sauce optional.
Technically here you want "averse". But it's weird how both those words even exist.
For america in particular it probs doesnt help that their bread is extremely sweet.
And they say Australians have no culture smh
If you want the ultimate feed, buy a half loaf of bread and cut it horizontally for the biggest sausage in bread ever:
This is blasphemy, it's wrong way on the bread
As long as you arent putting your sausage in others peoples bread, you can put your sausage on your own bread however you like. We're in currentyear. Non-standard sausage behaviour is perfectly acceptable now.
Except veggie sausages, no one likes those. And the ones who say they do are just lying and they know it!
Nah, I'm all about inclusivity. Every sausage sizzle should have veggie and gluten-free options available, even if I myself am never going to have them. I bought gluten-free sausages by accident last time I bought sausages, and it is definitely not as good.
Did you know that over here in Perth the bunnings sausage sizzle comes in hot dog buns?
Do your democracy sausages also come in hot dog buns?
I think there might be more flexibility there, but certainly all the ones I have seen are in a bun yes.
I have actually seen people do sausage sizzle (at backyard barbies) onto a burger bun before—you break the sausage in half and it fits really well. But never a hotdog bun. How interesting.
wtf Perth
Weird cultural quirk I know... And Bunnings mandate it.
Honestly at this point we think the slice of bread is a backwards eastern states custom 😄
Strange land, full of strange people...
Onions are absolutely not optional and this is a hill I am willing to die on
IMO thats not even a struggle.
Real struggle is when you don't even have a hot dog so you just make a mustard sandwich. That's what my childhood was like.
I could get ramen for $0.11 each if I bought a pack. I lived on that for months. A hotdog without bread or condiments cost more. A hotdog was fucking luxury.
RAMEN, you say?
Something something rolled up newspaper.
When I was 18 and my parents moved away, I only had $30 for food that first month. I was able to get ramen for 10/$1 and it got me through. It took me many years to be able to enjoy ramen after I was able to afford not being forced to eat it.
shiiiiittttt....they didn't even have ramen when I was a kid. know what we had? spam and beatings. don't eat your spam? ass beat and go to bed hungry and crying. and you were LUCKY to get government cheese on that fried spam.
damn....I really want some spam now. 🥹
I got spam and beatings as a kid. The ramen was when I moved out at 17. It got better by the time I was 20.
When I was in college I lived off the really cheap ramen... until it literally made me sick.
I can afford the higher quality ramen now (air fried, actual vegetable packets) which is a little more expensive (but still comparatively cheap). Still a great go-to day snack to keep me going.

Thank you Gork! I'll be looking soon.
Fucking loved me some sauce sandwiches.
Thats advanced struggle, ngl tho I really like mustard so I might eat that normally 😅
Struggle?! The ol' Bunnings snag is a delicacy!
A good Australian partaking in holy communion at the church of bunnings on a Sunday.
Except its a sausage not a hotdog
And they're $3.50 in Darwin
But if you live in Darwin its a lot cheaper because otherwise you have to factor in the flight and accommodation costs..
The noble tradition of a sausage sizzle is far older^[citation^ ^needed]^ and more noble than any "Bunnings"
Its a "classy" way to eat a heated Bockwurst or Wiener in Germany. On of the few meals, that are often typically served with white toast bread.
Thank you for calling me classy.
I've never seen it served with toast. Always some sort of white bread roll (Schrippe, Kaiser, etc.)
Thats an aussie delicacy, what struggle?
Snags ftw, mate!
Mate, if you use frankfurters at your sausage sizzle I'm going to have some complaints
Am i the only one who would cut it in half and then cut those in half if it was going on white bread? I would then stack them and make an actual sandwich.
Making your point with Blender is a new level
There's probably forums where clicking "reply" just opens Blender.
At that point you may as well cook.
Didn’t you just cook the hot dog?
Heating ≠ cooking.
Fair point.
And once you've sliced it like that, fry all the flat edges for that lush crispy burned goodness
This is my go-to solution when I've got hotdogs and hamburger buns but no hamburgers or hotdog buns.
I have done this. Cutting it in half creates a flat surface so the bread isn't thinner in one area, the gaps are all condiments, and it prevents the hotdog from rolling out.
What software is this?
Blender
Yep.
Nice. Any tutorials you recommend that I can follow to start learning 3d Modeling?
The best place to start is this guy or some others like him.
https://youtube.com/@blenderguru
There are tons of good tutorials online but I would start with the Guru.
Yep, 2 min in blender. I really could have made it better but it’s to make a point about a hot dog on the internet.
Free, amazing, and cross platform.

When I was a kid this was just how you ate hotdogs at home. Chili dog was an open face sandwich.
I never understood how this was somehow a sign of being poor. I don't buy hotdog buns. I have always ate my hotdogs this way.
This is my preferred consumption method. Buy a bag of hotdog buns and they have a single purpose, be a fluffy sausage pocket.
Hotdog buns with:
It is a bread product designed with a singular purpose.
A loaf of sandwich bread, that is like the Swiss army knife of bread.
Is this a prank?
What? I came home and ate it tonight with a slice of fake cheese on each one. The franks were beef though.
with at least mustard though, right?
To be precise It was Great value sliced bread. Great value cheese like slices. Great value mustard. With makers mark beef franks. It was the meal that Sam Walton's zombie corpse made.
Cut the hotdogs lengthwise and lay them flat on the bread with mustard and relish. It's actually good af
That's just an open faced sausage sandwich
Tortillas are actually good for hotdogs. White bread tends to fall apart with mustard or relish.
Hotdogs wrapped in a tortilla are awesome, especially while camping. Saves soooo much space compared to a bag of buns and can't be squished so easily.
I put down a slice cheese first, that seals the bread from anything wet, like sauerkraut or condiments.
Depending on how you define tortilla, this is the default way in Norway. At least when I was a kid we grilled and ate them like this with ketchup, mustard and crispy onions, can recommend.

Hmmmmmmmm you might be on to something ill have to try that out with my niece next time I have her haha

“It’s the same thing”
-mom
It fits better diagonally
That's what she said
First thing I thought when I saw the picture.
Mustard on one side, ketchup on the other. Roll the dog back and forth a bit so the condiments spread out and don't soak through the bread.
It's still industrial sausage on industrial bread. Fold it and there isn't much difference.
That glizzy looks way too tasty to be a struggle glizzy
not grey enough and is way too glossy. true poor meat is at least 50% hope and 5% dreams. the rest is all filler the same color as bondo.
This is Pee-wee league, try the banana sandwich.
Peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, or both?
none of that fancy stuff, it was butter if you were lucky.
Understandable. A banana fluffernutter sandwich is pure decadence!
Flat the sandwich bread with a rolling pin or a bottle (or whatever you have) then cover the weiner all around, at thins point you can add breadcrumbs and egg or leave it. Put it om airfryer for a while and there you go. Korean hot dog
Ehhhh, calling that a Korean hot dog is generous lol
lol yes it's shit, but if all you have is that do your best
Granny made us do it. 😠👈
Goes well with the Mac&Chz made with water because you don't have milk
You boil your macncheese in milk?
Boil mac and cheese*, drain the pasta, put in industrial cheese powder agent, moisten with water instead of milk, put in butter/margarine/tears and stir.
*Note that this refers to what us Canucks call Kraft Dinner (which has the Kleenex effect going on, kinda). Proper mac and cheese is not a struggle meal in comparison.
I was joking...
shit, you can make it with milk?
I guess as I got older I never stopped to think there was any other way...
this opens so many new opportunities.
Milk, butter, a lil' cream cheese, extra shredded cheese, spices to taste. You're welcome.
These mfs don't know the struggle til they've tried hotsauce bread AKA HSB
The struggle isn't real until you've had a nap for lunch & went to bed early for dinner.
You got relish, you're living well.
But...that's the best thing tho. Toast the bread, add some lettuce, and some chilli sauce and mayo, it would be a good meal for me.
But thats not a sandwich bread thats just white bread...
Sandwich bread is square and you just put the hotdog diagonal on the buttered sandwich slice. (I am not australian)

Nah mate, you lay it diagonally
Turn the bread? In this economy?
I would sometimes just eat the bread with yellow mustard. It's rough.
Is that actually good? I've just eaten plain bread with water. Mind you, I usually just bake my own bread and it comes out delicious as is.
I mean when you're hungry and don't got any food to cook or money to get some, then yeah it's pretty good. Probably more so depends on if you like yellow mustard enough, which I do. I don't miss those times.
;_; dammmmnn i didnt know i was struggling in my youth.
I mean...why not? buns are dry AF and bread is moist and doesn't break in half when you fold it.
bread is the OP win IMO.
bonus, you can eat two packs of hot dogs on a single loaf of bread.
Wonderdogs!
I grew up poor. Hamburger bun, hotdogs bun, sandwich, toast, garlic bread, cinnamon toast, 🍞
Fuck me! This is brilliant! I am gonna do just this!
I know right! I got some sandwich bread that a cat got into so needs to be used and I'm sans a fridge ATM so I'm going to get one of those for our five pack of sausages!
Daily
I prefer it that way
I was recently studying all prices per kilogram and price per calorie of the various bread types and I found that the cheapest per kg hot dog buns where actually 0.15$/kg cheaper than the cheapest bread in the store. Not very convenient in the toaster and doesn't brown very well in the countertop convection toaster oven, but 0.15$/kg is 0.15$/kg
When I was a kid we used to put canned tuna in hot dog buns.
man, microwaved hot dog on some nice rye or wheat bread with butter and ketchup was my jam as a kid! I had it all the time when I was home alone on weekends!
Only found decent vegan hot dogs a few weeks ago so I've been having that dish so many times recently, still can't get enough of it haha
That sausage gives me the creeps. Please just a real one
Found the German
The real struggle is that people will rather eat sausages made of oil and trash. Bread whiter than snow. Ketchup made from apples and sugar.
There is nothing wrong with using bread, but if you struggle then rather eat cabbage, onions, carrots, oats.
Please take care of yourselves, people. Learn to cook something more than a cheap trash sausage.
Mmm chemicals
Everything is a "chemical" just som kill you with less of itself than others
Sorry, I thought we were on lemmyshitpost.
