How would you like your hot dog? French!

All over Copenhagen there are little stands that advertise hot dogs. One day, Friday, on the way north, Minnie and stopped at one for a quick lunch.


Turns out they call these particular dogs "French hot dogs." The French part comes in, I believe, from the bread. It is an asymmetrical piece of bun, with an open hole on one end and a closed end on the other. the server squirts in your favorite condiment, then the hot dog goes in, and, voila, you have a portable hot dog guaranteed not to squirt out the other end. A brilliant modification.

And not bad tasting either, especially with a generous squirt of mustard. Like a well-cooked but still a bit bland hot dog.
