Weird how Americans call Vienna sausages, "hot dogs". To me, they're not "hot dogs" until they're ON the rolls! Before that, they're just Viennas (or Frankfurters or whatever kind of sausage... But never Russians or Boerewors because you don't make hot dogs out of those; you make Russian rolls or Boerewors rolls). 😛 #English #language #words #usage
