Hot dogs are link sausages created from a variety of different meat sources. Most being primarily composed of beef or pork, turkey or tofu are also commonly used as pre-packaged dogs.
The concept of eating a sausage within a bun originated in Frankfurt, Germany, hence the frequent nickname "Frankfurter." The average modern hot dog is between six and ten inches long, though "footlongs" are more popular in ballparks and barbecue.
