"Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks. I don't care if I never get back." Ballpark food has added to the excitement of going to the game. Hot dogs, big chewy pretzels, roasted peanuts and nachos in a helmet just seem right to have at a game.But where did the hot dog come from? My research this month taught me that the hot dog was named after the Dachshund hot sausages that were sold by a German immigrant. Charles Feltman sold his sausages out of a food cart in New York around 1860 in Coney Island. Due to the unique long, thin body shape of the Dachshund, the nickname wiener dog came about. This explains the canine name for the "hot dog." |
