Hot Dog

Most people know what a hot dog is. It is a sausage in a roll. But do you know why it is called a hot dog? Well, the long red sausage that goes into a hot dog is called a frankfurter; it got its name from the German town of Frankfurt. The sausages were very popular in the 1900s but the hot frankfurters were difficult to sell in crowds. One man, Henry M. Stevens, had the job of feeding the crowds in baseball games. He had an idea! Why not put the frankfurters into long hot bread rolls? This made them easy to sell and people to eat. Stevens added mustard and called them red-hots.

The “red-hots” had a hot and spicy taste and became very popular. But, in 1903, an American cartoonist drew a long German sausage dog in place of the frankfurter. They were both long, and “German”, so a frankfurter in a roll soon became known as a “hotdog”. It was a joke, but some people really thought the sausages contained dog meat! For a while, sales of hot dogs fell but not for long.

Fast Food

Fast Food – modern aspect of the catering trade – implies efficient, speedy service and a high sales volume.

Typical Counter Service Fast Food outlets: pizza restaurants, snack –bars, old-established fish-and-chips shops (in the case of Great Britain), etc. They mostly serve a “limited menu”, for example, a McDonalds place will only offer you a “burger” accompanied by a milkshake- chocolate, or strawberry-flavoured – or a Coke. But some chains , such as Burger King, are trying a diversified approach and sell breakfast, special sandwiches, dinner baskets, salads and desserts. Fast Food covers quite a wide range of products.

The Fast Food industry is a typical US development, but now it is spreading very fast in other countries as well, especially in Western Europe , so this modern form of catering can not be ignored.
