A butcher from Frankfurt who owned a dachshund named the long frankfurter sausage a “dachshund sausage,” German immigrants introduced the dachshund sausage (and Hamburg meat) to the United States. In 1871, German butcher Charles Feltman opened the first “hotdog” stand in Coney Island in 1871, selling 3,684 dachshund sausages, most wrapped in a milk bread roll, during his first year in business.

In the meantime, frankfurters – and wieners – were sold as hot food by sausage sellers. In 1901, New York Times cartoonist T.A. Dargan noticed that one sausage seller used bread buns to handle the hot sausages after he burnt his fingers and decided to illustrate the incident. He wasn’t sure of the spelling of dachshund and simply called it “hot dog.”

Corned beef is called corned beef due to a coarse salt used in the pickling process. Corn originally meant grain, as in a small particle of something, and referred to the corns of salt.

The hot dog was originated in Frankfurt Germany. We were at war with them, They called them frankfutters and the americans changed the name to hot dogs, as to say the Germans (dogs) were in (hot) water.
