I will fight you on this.

A hotdog is a specific type of soft sausage inside a bun. If you have just the sausage part you would not call that a hotdog (at least not where I live) but a frankfurter (we have a special word for this type of sausage).

The bread needs to be a certain shape as well. Long round and thin. Either one where it goes in from the top (sliced by length)

like this or pushed in the same way as the longer axis of bread goes like this

.

If you put it inside two slices of bread you made a frankfurter sandwich. So thus it needs to be the right sausage in the right bread to be considered a hotdog.

all i can think is that it must be uneven lighting. that draws attention to and creates deeper shadows on part of the photo (more obvious on the photo of the raw rolls) and covers up other shadows in a way that makes it harder to intuit depth on 2D images.

thanks for the recipe btw!

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Less harsh on the teeth.

First picture has lettuce and tomato. Get the FUCK outta here.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My man the only thing that matters is the bun.

Now you're trying to incite a riot.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

See, I think this may be a regional issue more than a semantic issue because around these parts that horrifying electric bun spike is the quickest way to not get invited to the next barbique.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We usually don't even make hotdogs on barbeques. I cannot recall the last time we did. Balkan grill has so many better options to choose from.

Balkan grill

So I looked this up and found a restaurant in Germany? The food looks amazing and I'm going to have to find recipes for half their menu.

So the way this discussion is going, it reminds me of an old cookbook that describes curry as "a gravy laden with spices and made with the milk of coconut." While the description conveys the details well, I don't think any sane person would say gravy and curry are the same category. The issue comes from the difference in cultural meanings and the way languages steal words. My classifications are based off the mid western American concepts of hotdog and there for would not work outside of a region familiar with it.

I guess the only good option to finally solvr this debate would be a latin taxonomy like we do for animals and plants.

Send me the name and place of the restaurant so I can check out how authentic their food is. Or I can send you some recipes.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Here's the site but I'll totally take any recipe you have to share!

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I checked this and it looks alright. They sure got the ugly menu aesthetic right so it might be decent balkan grill.

About those recipes. I will have to check tomorrow it's a bit late now. Also after thinking a bit I actually realised you can get most things you need for a good balkan barbeque just in the store here. You can get the bread, the ajvar, the kajmak, the meat and so on.

I will definitely find something to recomend and if not I'll just tell you how to make sač. That's more of an actual recipe than just the normal grill.

I don't think any sane person would say gravy and curry are the same category.

Why? Culinarily*, curry and gravy are quite similar, and serve similar functions. Obviously they don't taste all that similar, but I don't think that really matters much when you consider the vast variety of flavors that curries come in.

And actually, now that I think of it, Japanese curries do share quite a few flavors with a Western meat-dripping-based gravy. In fact, I'm pretty sure the directions on the packaged* curry cubes I get from the Asian grocer refer to the curry sauce as "gravy". So yeah, actually, plenty of sane people put curry and gravy in the same category, for solid reasons.
