Frankfurters

Frankfurters are processed meat products made from finely ground meat, most commonly pork, beef or poultry, combined with spices, salt and other ingredients. They are stuffed into natural or artificial casings and heat-treated. In Central European cuisine they rank among the most popular quick meals: they can be boiled, grilled or pan-fried. They are typically served with mustard, horseradish or bread. They are a staple of street food culture and a popular ingredient in baked pasta dishes, hot sandwiches or alongside eggs. A properly cooked frankfurter should not be overboiled, so that it retains its juiciness.
