熱狗 (Hot Dogs)
熱狗(Hot dog)是香腸的一種吃法。夾有熱狗的整個麵包三明治也可以直接稱作熱狗。吃熱狗的時候可以配上很多種類的配料,比如番茄醬、美乃滋、芥末、漬包心菜、漬白蘿蔔、洋蔥屑,生菜屑、番茄(切片,切屑或切塊)和辣椒等等。熱狗還有其他種的變化。加起司的叫做「起司熱狗」,或是直接叫「起司狗」。加了辣肉醬(chili)的叫做「辣狗」。前面兩種全加的就叫「辣起司狗」。裹了玉米漿的油炸熱狗,而且插了根小竹棒的叫做玉米狗。 (在台灣有時也只稱熱狗)玉米狗可以直接吃,或是沾了芥末或是番茄醬之後吃。 受各地方不同飲食習慣的影響,熱狗會使用不同的材料,傳統上會使用法蘭克福腸,而一般則以豬肉或牛肉為主,但也有使用牛肉及豬肉的混合餡料,或是甚至使用火雞肉、雞肉或蔬菜類等不同材料製作,再經過調味,入味,有時會用煙薰,然後烹煮。在出貨前一般會先把包覆熱狗的覆膜先去掉。一般尺寸的熱狗長度是6寸(15厘米)。在某些地方則是長度12寸(30厘米)的熱狗比較受到歡迎。 歷史 -- 熱狗此名的來歷一直是爭議的話題,其中有很多不同的說法。有人認為「熱狗」此名乃源於一個關於「狗氣喘」的古老笑話。從1870年起,很多報章出現了以下的說法:「一個冰冷的人和一個熱乎乎的狗有何區別?一個穿著外套,另外一個則在氣喘。」1894年10月18日,密西根大學一份名為《皺紋》(The Wrinkle)的幽默雜誌的封面寫道,「找到了兩個希臘人和一個熱狗。他們找到的衣服,就是他們喜歡購買的。」「熱狗」原指時髦的化妝師,就因一個流行的短語,熱狗便被加在了狗的身上。 亦有人認為直到1904年舉行的路易西安那購物博覽會才首次出現熱狗這種食品。然而類似熱狗的另一食品--臘腸在當時的歐洲市面上已頗為普遍,而德國早在紀元前64年就有了。到了1860年代,第一個熱狗麵包才在紐約市布魯克林區中首次推出。 據說這個以麵包夾著香腸來吃的食物是源自德國香腸世家,當時只為了方便進食燙手的香腸而夾上麵包,傳統食法更是不加任何醬料或配料,以吃出香腸的原味。熱狗約於19世紀傳入美國,當時叫做Frankfuters;而最暢銷的熱狗品牌則是Dachshund Sausages。據說當時有位漫畫家在運動場看見小販叫賣熱狗,於是畫下情境,回到公司想寫上說明時卻記不起Dachshund的發音,而因為Dachshund亦解德國臘腸犬,故他索性寫上Hot Dog ,從此成了這食品的代號。 |
Hot Dog
A hot dog (also spelled hotdog) is a cooked sausage, traditionally grilled or steamed and served in a sliced bun as a sandwich. Hot dog variants include the corn dog dipped in corn batter and deep fried, pigs in blankets wrapped in dough, baked, and served as hors d'oeuvres, and Beanie Weenies chopped and mixed with baked beans. Typical hot dog garnishes include mustard, ketchup, onions, mayonnaise, relish, cheese, chili, and sauerkraut. The sausages were culturally imported from Germany and popularized in the United States, where they were a working class street food sold at hot dog stands that came to be associated with baseball and America. Hot dog preparation and condiment styles also vary regionally across the United States. The hot dog's cultural traditions include the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest and Wienermobile. Ingredients Common hot dog ingredients include: Meat trimmings and fat Flavorings, such as salt, garlic, and paprika Preservatives (cure) - typically sodium erythorbate and sodium nitrite. Pork and beef are the traditional meats used in hot dogs. Less expensive hot dogs are often made from chicken or turkey, using low-cost mechanically separated poultry. Hot dogs often have high sodium, fat and nitrite content, ingredients linked to health problems. Changes in meat technology and dietary preferences have led manufacturers to use turkey, chicken, vegetarian meat substitutes, and to lower the salt content. If a manufacturer produces two types of hot dogs, "wieners" tend to contain pork and are blander, while "franks" tend to be all beef and more strongly seasoned.[citation needed] Commercial preparation Hot dogs are prepared commercially by mixing the ingredients (meats, spices, binders and fillers) in vats where rapidly moving blades grind and mix the ingredients in the same operation. This mixture is forced through tubes into casings for cooking. Most hot dogs sold in the US are "skinless" as opposed to more expensive "natural casing" hot dogs. |
