The amount of things I learn from this channel that I thought were a common thing but learned it's mainly a British thing is crazy. I remember telling an American I was knackered once. He was baffled. Also, they don't do beans on toast over there. I love things like that.
I might be wrong but I don’t think baked beans in a can, like Heinz, are a common thing in the USA. The beans they get in a can would be dreadful on toast, so when you say beans on toast to an American they have a totally different image in their head to our reality.
What I love about this video is seeing a young man with impeccable manners, even though his dad was pushing him for a verdict on the hot dogs, he would not speak or even open his mouth with food in it! When such a young man has that decency on his mind, he has been raised right and will be a gentleman when he grows up. Love this family, very articulate and likeable. And enjoyable content. A+
Not sure why there's a lot of people in the comments going on about proper sausages. That's not what this videos for! I'm sure they eat them too/have already tried them. There's nothing wrong with a hotdog especially not if it's a home comfort! I personally love hotdogs AND cumberland/lincolnshire sausages :)
@Ian Warren Actually, the "American style hotdog", as you refer to it originates from Germany/Austria, so you clearly don't know what you're talking about. The clue is in the name(s) - 'Frankfurter/Wiener'.
Tinned franks are rough. German Brats are really good. But, Cumberland, Lincolnshire or any pork and apple sausage are the nuts. If you’re caught in a pinch, Richmond’s are a good standby
@@robertomoi2044 Nope. BOCKWURST. I know my german sausages. These you can boil, fry, grill, BBQ or nuke. BRATWURST IN Aldi come in plastic packs. Those you can't boil. Prefer Bratwurst.
I love that the house you've moved to is so quintessentially English. Obviously there's a huge array of styles but this country cottage looks like a lovely place. Also looks like you're really enjoying it too.
Very sweet and polite kids you have, lovely! I'd like to see you try to cook a few traditional British foods at home (it's cheaper, and better - often - than eating out) such as shepherd's pie, cullen skink, kedgeree, prawn cocktail, beef wellington, roast lunch, beef stew and dumplings, lancashire hotpot etc (and maybe some desserts!)
I'm from Scotland and growing up in the 90's, they pretty much only came in tins from what i remember. Jars came later. And then even later, the plastic wrapped ones. Apart from size, I'm not convinced there's much of a difference! Love the way you pronounce Loch Lomond by the way! ha! we say it with more emphasis on the first o of lomond. love it!
I'd never have thought to grill them like you did here. We normally empty the jar (or can as you can also buy canned hotdogs) into a saucepan, water and all, and gently heat slowly. Which to be honest, i've never been a fan of as I don't like soggy wet bread! Might buy some of these for 1st time in ages next time I go shopping and grill them instead! What you've done there will be great for Guy Fawkes night (bonfire night) on the 5th Nov. Eating hot dogs and watching the firework display, is my favourite autumn thing.
Brooklyn hotdogs are also boiled in their brine. I think this is because the quintessential New York hotdog is mostly sold by street vendors who can easily boil hot dogs with battery power, but can’t walk around with a grill for obvious reasons. I really miss the Primrose hotdogs in a can. I’ve tried to get them in the US but can’t find them anywhere. We used to have them on Guy Fawkes night with fried onions. Good memories…
The surprise and happiness of you taking your first bite, hilarious 😂. My only thing, I would of toasted the buns on the grill and done some fried onions, BANGIN 💯🔥
Sainsbury's sell these mate, supermarkets. Have you tried Dinos fried dried onions? I like them in my Dinos dog. You can also get them in Sainsbury's 👍
He means chili con carne, not chili peppers. It's common in USA to have a chili dog, often with melted cheese on top. Can't beat spicy English mustard though ☺
I live in France and love their hot dogs - it's not the sausage but the bread (baguette - lovely crusty bread). They add mustard, of course, and some grated cheese with a drop of tomato sauce. Must admit I've never been to the States so can only compare UK with France.
A good video. Love that you are getting so into English life. The hot dogs in a jar and also a can can be found easily in your local Sainsburys, Waitrose and Tesco. Keep the videos coming.
You are one of the chilliest guys ever mate, glad you are enjoying all the British stuff in your life. Sometimes takes a different perspective to remind people of what they have in their own back yard. Cheers Just one thing though pal, in British it's a BBQ... Haha
Pick up a jar of Colman's English Mustard as well, that goes well on a hotdog. If you're in Scotland you might find it in the foreign foods section of the supermarket 🤣
Caution if you haven't had english mustard before it's quite a bit hotter than american yellow mustard, would recommend tasting it before adding it to anything.
Hi so glad your settling down into uk life, just letting you know if theirs a Sainsburys supermarket near were you live , there's no need to travel to Scotland as they sell the same hot dogs there as you have shown . I'm thinking of getting a taste of America hot dogs now , regards Trev .
Costco has jumbo hotdogs in a vacuum sealed plastic pack if the jar is too unsettling...still unrefrigerated. It took us a while to find hotdogs as we didn't think to look on the canned food aisle, but we eventually came across them while shopping one day. Now we Canadians like sweet pickle relish with our dogs, but it can be hard to find, Lidl seems to have a good stock, and Asda does have it on occasions.
as a dutchman who also is used to hotdogs/frankfurters in jars and metal cans , i like to put them in the air fryer(basically electrical grilling) at around 140-160c for a couple of minutes to give them a bit more skin
Just for reference, Loch lomond is said like Low-Mund I think you can also pick those hot dogs up from the American section in Sainsbury's or other supermarkets
Hot dogs and other sausages in a jar is also common in Germany, and always was as far as I can remember way back into the 1970's, before a lot of things went plastic. Makes pretty good sense to me, as glas is a lot more chemically stable than plastic, so with plastic you always get some transfer of chemicals from the plastic into the food. Especially when there is a good recycling system for glas set up, it's also better on the environmental side. And my trip to Scotland a few years back (boating along the Caledonian Canal) was also one of my best holidays ever.
Now try some British sausages (Cumberland/Lincolnshire etc) with some English Mustard instead of American mustard (which is actually 10% German mustard mixed with mayonnaise and therefore is more of a mustard "flavoured" condiment).....and use the English stuff with respectful caution lol
No, no, American mustard does _NOT_ have mayonnaise in it, and it doesn't have any German mustard in it either. At least, French's mustard doesn't. If you compare the ingredient lists of French's vesus Colman's mustard you will find that French's uses mustard seed, whereas Colman's uses mustard flour. Colman's extra pungency is probably because of the variety of mustard that they use.
I'm from England and I just want to say..... What beautiful people you are! I really enjoyed this video so I have subscribed and I can't wait to see more
Wow , you and your wife should be proud of your children , respect to the young taste tester , how he said yes sir when he spoke shows how your raising the children right , sadly i notice this is mostly missing in this day and age
There is nothing wrong with it, people should be allowed to bring up their own children in a manner which they deem correct as long as the children are not oppressed or harmed to instil the parents wishes, which I am hoping has not happened here.
That Scottish shopkeeper must be thinking "I never thought I'd ever get rid of those bloody hotdogs". Pronounce it LowMond (a long Low). Enjoyed the video.
Please try a Bratwurst, the best ones are sold in Lidl but you can usually find them in Tesco and Morrisons. Serve them the same way. Its actually a german sausage but absolutely lovely
I see you had M&S rolls for your hotdogs, next time you go to M&S, go to the sausage section and you will find something called "Posh Dogs" and the smaller "Posh Puppies" These are raw totally uncooked "Hot Dog" style sausage and will give you a completely new experience of how hot dogs can be prepared. They look a little different from your "run of the mill" hotdogs but are nevertheless the beautiful smoked taste associated with the product
2nd that, M&S Posh Dogs are superb, especially when they're on the 3 for £10 deals in the summer :) Be sure to get the Brioche style hot dog buns, use Reggae Reggae sauce instead of mustard and some fried onions. Once you've tasted a Hot Dog with Reggae Reggae sauce you'll wonder how you lived without it.
You need to remember that American Hotdogs derived from Wienerwurst and Frankfurters. Both are frequently sold in jars in Germany/Austria. Excellent with German mustard which is slightly milder than English mustard.
The point of putting them in a jar originally was to extend their shelf life. It's worth keeping some in the pantry. Those in plastic don't keep as long.
I have always bought my Hot Dogs in jars. they are easier to store and wont get squashed like the packet ones can. also you can recycle the jars, where as the plastic packaging is just rubbish/trash. I boil the Hot Dog, but I grill/BBQ sausages. as for condiments, I have mustard and Ketchup and fried onions too. why wait to go to Scotland to buy Hot Dogs? you can buy them in any Supermarket in the UK, as well as most corner shops. Lock-low-man is how I pronounce it, but I'm not Scottish.
Classic American dog, roll, mustard. Nothing beter. I"m 68 and have lived all over the US. First I've ever seen a dog in a jar. I love the smaller dogs on a steamed roll with mustard, onion & meat sauce as well. Dogs in a jar, now I've seen everything
Best supermarket hotdogs are from Lidl, you'll find them in the chilled section, very high quality but reasonably priced. Different styles such as frankfurters, brotwurst and bratwurst etc. Also different meats such as beef, pork, chicken, turkey. The chilli brats are excellent. The entire range have very high meat content and none of them are mechanically reclaimed, these are cheap in price but not made from cheap cuts. :)
In Scotland we simmer onions in the water from the jar for ten miuntes or until soft.Then Introduce the hot dogs to the water and simmer for ten minutes or until heated right through.The onions take on a slight flavour from the water.
Hello from The West Midlands HOT DOGS IN A JAR have been available in supermarkets for as long as i can remember. My neighbour was addicted to them and that is all she would eat. I am not a fan of them but i suppose if you were stuck for anything to eat they would be so good
Forget the pronunciation! I hope that you get to the Highlands, I lived and worked there for thirteen years and loved it. Skye is awesome, especially if you are lucky with the weather, and should not be missed!
I live in southern england and ive seen these and even bought these from my local Sainsburys, they tend to be in the small American section on the end of the isle.
I live in the south of England and you can buy those hot dogs down here but funnily enough, they tend to be on the American food shelf with the twinkies and whatnot also, you seem like a lovely bloke and have got yourself a subscriber kind sir
Hi there no need to go to Scotland for hot dogs in a jar they sell them in Sainsburys Tescos and ASADA all in England, and they last for ages. Love your content keep it going.
Just watched your video dude, randomly popped up on my feed. You can get Dinos in Tesco's...I get them for work as a breakfast snack ( work in the construction industry), we only have a microwave oven for warming food etc, I take one Dino dog, roll it up in a kitchen roll tightly, nuke it for 1 minute. Put it in a bread roll, cover with ketchup and mustard, add salt and pepper and BINGO....lovely... hope you and your family are happy, safe and well. Peaceout dude 🙏
love your content. normally in britain hotdogs in a jar are more expensive than canned hotdogs and you can get hotdogs vac packed from costco but glass does not impart any flavour to the stored product where as canned foods and vac pac foods can , like beer and lager bottled always has a different taste to canned , glad you like it here
Hi ya, it’s good to see your reaction to Dino dogs, I’ve always wondered how authentic they are. You can get them in two sizes in the dreaded Tesco’s not just in Scotland!
Hot dogs used to be tinned, putting them in jars is a quite recent development and I think an attempt to move them more up market. They do come in the plastic packs as well but those are usual found in the continental chilled food area and labelled bratwurst or frankfurters.
Glad you enjoyed your hot dogs, you don’t have to go to Scotland as your local supermarket will sell hot dogs in jars, all different sizes and recipes, enjoy 😋
You can order them online but there are other brands available in large supermarkets. Would be great to see you trying a cheap, quick British staple of hot baked beans on toast, eaten with knife and fork.
I love my dogs in a jar, will be making some tonight. I like to pop mine in hot water in a slow cooker for an hour till they swell a little and the skin splits, then right on the bun with fried onions, dijon mustard and ketchup. Saw this video and got curious since I never noticed any difference, but I'm not American :).
I just had some of those Dino dogs today👍 they are pretty good to be fair. I just bought some lamb and mint sausages from a market that look fantastic. Iv got to go on a diet😂
The “hot dog” sausage was introduced to the US via German immigrants in the 19th century. Germany has 100’s of different regional sausages, with these being known as Frankfurters as they came from around Frankfurt. One of the big variants in German sausage beyond ingredients, is how they were preserved, which also varied by region- some were covered in fat, some pickled, others dried out but a lot were brined. Traditionally they were made from pork, but the coney island version is beef,which is then lightly smoked & boiled. Before the availability of refrigeration, they were then put into “brine” (salt water) which is what creates the slightly rubbery outer skin (which was originally sheep’s intetestines). The brined sausage s would then be jarred which would allow them to be kept during winter months bacteria free. Often kept alongside Sauerkraut, (pickled cabbage) which was also jarred to preserve- just like picked Gerkins. A similar thing happened with fresh, skinless sausages which became the Burger patty (with the Hamburger being the traditional sausage style of the german city Hamburg (not because the patty contained “Ham” 😂) Basically, jarring is THE traditional method for the hotdog sausage, dating back hundreds of years- wrapping in plastic was an American innovation brought in as a cheaper mass production method in the 1960’s, with a little brine added to maintain texture.
I’ve watched a few of your videos now and I must say they’re enjoyable and I gather this is a good way for you to keep your friends and family back in the states up to date and to journey an adventure which is great, but it’s also interesting for an outsider like me! I hope that you don’t feel a need to be unnecessarily complimentary towards the UK but I must admit your content has brought to light some very good aspects of life here and while a lot may going awry it’s good to be able to ground oneself a bit and be reminded to be grateful for what we know is there but sometimes neglect. I would have such a rave of a chat with a person like you if I met them on my travels! Curious as to what it is you do for work, I gather some kind of engineer..
@@MacandBlair ah that is very cool! I am so curious about people who work in such roles. In fact a lot of the TH-cam channels I favour involve engineering. So far I have only briefly seen your wife (who I presume is Blair) in one video, so I had very little to judge on but when trying the hotdogs she seemed a very pensive person so that doesn’t come as a shock at all! I very nearly went as narrow as to ask if you were a programmer or something similar. In fact I myself I am a programmer working as a contractor on a blockchain solution for traceability of pharmaceutical supply chains… I would say I have a decent radar for people who think a certain way! I hail from Lancashire, but I must say that Yorkshire (despite the battle of the 🌹s!) is a wonderful place to go if you haven’t been yet with your family. I went with my folks loads last year… some really beautiful countryside there-Hebden Bridge, Howarth & Skipton should be on your “places to visit” hit list while you’re here in the UK imo!
I never once thought I would hear an american say that they would come to Scotland to buy hot dogs :) Next time you're here, you really should see Glencoe, especially just as the sun starts to set, it's magical. Oh, and please try the haggis!
Decades before you could buy hotdogs in UK supermarkets, the German and Austrians were selling them in glass jars. This is the traditional way where the hotdogs are called by their proper name which is frankfurter in Germany and weiner in Austria.
Hi Mac. I know these as Frankfurters that's what my Mum called them in a jar or tinned. You would be better off with a great British local banger (Cumberland or Lincolnshire Sauasage).Love you put them on a quality M&S sub roll- enjoy
Have you tried saveloys? Seems you can only find them ready cooked in chip shops these days. Don't remember last time I saw one in a supermarket. They're hot dogs, except, not. They're sausages, except, not. They're kinda in an area between the two. Butchers, or, delicatessens probably still have them. Worth a try if you've never had, kinda unique smokey flavour and denser than hot dogs or sausages. I think they might be a northern thing and having lived in London for ages I just haven't seen them in ages.
I’m not a big hot dog eater, but have occasionally had them when I lived in the Middle East, where there were many nationalities (British, American, various other European nationalities, Japanese, Australians etc), and the supermarkets/stores there catered for all of them, so hot dogs, either in jars or sealed plastic, plus French’s mustard & hot dog rolls were all available. I quite liked them, but prefer them with either ketchup or sone kind of BBQ relish, rather than French’s which I find too sweet. But it’s fun to try different things. I agree with you about grilling/BBQing food - it always tastes so good. I mainly like fish, steak or chicken done on the grill 😋👍.
American style really just refers to the style of sausage. Translated into our English, it really just means it's a hot dog... Unless we specifically choose hot dogs, we generally speaking eat sausages in the UK. Usually pork based, but often a mixture and different styles from all over the UK are widely eaten. I'd even guess that the average person eats sausages once a week, whether for breakfast or dinner, or just a snack. As for in the jar, that's just a way of keeping them in the brine liquid. We can get hotdogs in plastic wrap, cans, jars etc. Typically the plastic wrapped ones don't have brining liquid with them, but the cans and jars do. And as they're pre-cooked, then cooled typically, we can quickly cook them in that brining liquid, or just plain water similar to an american hotdog truck would.
There's something really wholesome about these videos and this channel. I could listen to you for hours, you're always so chilled out and positive.

Beans on toast?
@@KekeIdoLoveMe Thick cut bread, toasted, spread REAL butter on it and baked beans with a fried egg on top. Delicious!
It offends me to my core that the world has yet to learn about beans on toast.
Or cheesy beans on toast.
Or jacket potatoes with cheesy beans.
@@HaggisMuncher-69-420 Or beans and bacon. Curry beans (Pataks madras curry paste , a desert spoon stirred into the beans) and chips.
I might be wrong but I don’t think baked beans in a can, like Heinz, are a common thing in the USA. The beans they get in a can would be dreadful on toast, so when you say beans on toast to an American they have a totally different image in their head to our reality.

Glass jars are better as there’s no wasteful plastic❤️
Both plastic and glass can be recycled.

In “Lomond”, the emphasis is on the FIRST syllable so that it is elongated to sound like the word “low”. Think of the name “Raymond”.

Hot dogs come in jars, cans and vacuum packed. We usually boil them but I’m going to try grilling them next time 😋
You don't need to boil, just heat through as they're already cooked...Grill might be good too...
When boiling they take on more water. I have done both with no problems.
That Scottish shopkeeper must be thinking "I never thought I'd ever get rid of those bloody hotdogs". Pronounce it LowMond (a long Low). Enjoyed the video.
🤣
Please try a Bratwurst, the best ones are sold in Lidl but you can usually find them in Tesco and Morrisons.
Serve them the same way. Its actually a german sausage but absolutely lovely
I'm glad you like the UK, hope everyone you meet treats you nice!
I see you had M&S rolls for your hotdogs, next time you go to M&S, go to the sausage section and you will find something called "Posh Dogs" and the smaller "Posh Puppies"
These are raw totally uncooked "Hot Dog" style sausage and will give you a completely new experience of how hot dogs can be prepared. They look a little different from your "run of the mill" hotdogs but are nevertheless the beautiful smoked taste associated with the product
2nd that, M&S Posh Dogs are superb, especially when they're on the 3 for £10 deals in the summer :)
Be sure to get the Brioche style hot dog buns, use Reggae Reggae sauce instead of mustard and some fried onions. Once you've tasted a Hot Dog with Reggae Reggae sauce you'll wonder how you lived without it.
You need to remember that American Hotdogs derived from Wienerwurst and Frankfurters. Both are frequently sold in jars in Germany/Austria. Excellent with German mustard which is slightly milder than English mustard.
The point of putting them in a jar originally was to extend their shelf life. It's worth keeping some in the pantry. Those in plastic don't keep as long.
I have always bought my Hot Dogs in jars. they are easier to store and wont get squashed like the packet ones can. also you can recycle the jars, where as the plastic packaging is just rubbish/trash. I boil the Hot Dog, but I grill/BBQ sausages. as for condiments, I have mustard and Ketchup and fried onions too.
why wait to go to Scotland to buy Hot Dogs? you can buy them in any Supermarket in the UK, as well as most corner shops.
Lock-low-man is how I pronounce it, but I'm not Scottish.
Classic American dog, roll, mustard. Nothing beter. I"m 68 and have lived all over the US. First I've ever seen a dog in a jar. I love the smaller dogs on a steamed roll with mustard, onion & meat sauce as well. Dogs in a jar, now I've seen everything
"British food the American way" would be a great ongoing miniseries in between other content. 💕
The worlds two worst cuisines together...what can possible go wrong...?
😂
@@TheBigChill1 Thats WHY it would be great! 😂. No joke though it would be interesting if nothing else. Interesting does not have to taste good hahah.
Best supermarket hotdogs are from Lidl, you'll find them in the chilled section, very high quality but reasonably priced. Different styles such as frankfurters, brotwurst and bratwurst etc. Also different meats such as beef, pork, chicken, turkey. The chilli brats are excellent. The entire range have very high meat content and none of them are mechanically reclaimed, these are cheap in price but not made from cheap cuts. :)
You can get hot dogs in jars from most British supermarkets 👍
In Scotland we simmer onions in the water from the jar for ten miuntes or until soft.Then Introduce the hot dogs to the water and simmer for ten minutes or until heated right through.The onions take on a slight flavour from the water.
Hello from The West Midlands
HOT DOGS IN A JAR have been available in supermarkets for as long as i can remember. My neighbour was addicted to them and that is all she would eat.
I am not a fan of them but i suppose if you were stuck for anything to eat they would be so good
Yes I remember when I was a kid in the 70s we had them in a can but they were tiny.
They are cheap and filling. £1.40 for 8 from Sainsburys and a massive baguette for 70p.
@@lewisner
They are cheap for a reason.
I’m sure they will be fine. I have bought many hot dogs in jars and in the sealed packages, they all taste wonderful
Forget the pronunciation! I hope that you get to the Highlands, I lived and worked there for thirteen years and loved it. Skye is awesome, especially if you are lucky with the weather, and should not be missed!
i feel like that hotdog sparked a memory or something , ur reaction looked like u thought of something from a past experience that was nice to watch
Try Herta Jumbo Frankfurters. They are about 80% meat. The hot dogs in jars are usually much lower meat and made up with water.
Americans operate on an entirely different level to the British when it comes to barbecuing.
I live in southern england and ive seen these and even bought these from my local Sainsburys, they tend to be in the small American section on the end of the isle.
Sorry but we have some of the best bangers in the world from England... Facts, these are a German thing
I live in the south of England and you can buy those hot dogs down here but funnily enough, they tend to be on the American food shelf with the twinkies and whatnot also, you seem like a lovely bloke and have got yourself a subscriber kind sir
Hi there no need to go to Scotland for hot dogs in a jar they sell them in Sainsburys Tescos and ASADA all in England, and they last for ages. Love your content keep it going.
Chilled… you’ve got that Levar Burton vibe.. hotdog rainbow
LoL
Just watched your video dude, randomly popped up on my feed. You can get Dinos in Tesco's...I get them for work as a breakfast snack ( work in the construction industry), we only have a microwave oven for warming food etc, I take one Dino dog, roll it up in a kitchen roll tightly, nuke it for 1 minute. Put it in a bread roll, cover with ketchup and mustard, add salt and pepper and BINGO....lovely... hope you and your family are happy, safe and well. Peaceout dude 🙏
Now try a Saveloy sausage from a Fish and Chip shop. They are usually served boiled but can be quickly deep fried or battered and fried. Mmmm.
love your content. normally in britain hotdogs in a jar are more expensive than canned hotdogs and you can get hotdogs vac packed from costco but glass does not impart any flavour to the stored product where as canned foods and vac pac foods can , like beer and lager bottled always has a different taste to canned , glad you like it here
Hi ya, it’s good to see your reaction to Dino dogs, I’ve always wondered how authentic they are. You can get them in two sizes in the dreaded Tesco’s not just in Scotland!
I have a question. When you say you might make some chilli, what style of chilli do you mean?
Love to see the delight on your face! You can buy these anywhere in the UK so no need to go back to Scotland.
Hot dogs used to be tinned, putting them in jars is a quite recent development and I think an attempt to move them more up market.
They do come in the plastic packs as well but those are usual found in the continental chilled food area and labelled bratwurst or frankfurters.
Glad you enjoyed your hot dogs, you don’t have to go to Scotland as your local supermarket will sell hot dogs in jars, all different sizes and recipes, enjoy 😋
You can order them online but there are other brands available in large supermarkets. Would be great to see you trying a cheap, quick British staple of hot baked beans on toast, eaten with knife and fork.
I love my dogs in a jar, will be making some tonight. I like to pop mine in hot water in a slow cooker for an hour till they swell a little and the skin splits, then right on the bun with fried onions, dijon mustard and ketchup. Saw this video and got curious since I never noticed any difference, but I'm not American :).
If you go into Lidl you can get jars of wilkinger hot dog sausages in jars all the time, they're cheap aswell.
I just had some of those Dino dogs today👍 they are pretty good to be fair. I just bought some lamb and mint sausages from a market that look fantastic. Iv got to go on a diet😂
The “hot dog” sausage was introduced to the US via German immigrants in the 19th century. Germany has 100’s of different regional sausages, with these being known as Frankfurters as they came from around Frankfurt. One of the big variants in German sausage beyond ingredients, is how they were preserved, which also varied by region- some were covered in fat, some pickled, others dried out but a lot were brined. Traditionally they were made from pork, but the coney island version is beef,which is then lightly smoked & boiled. Before the availability of refrigeration, they were then put into “brine” (salt water) which is what creates the slightly rubbery outer skin (which was originally sheep’s intetestines). The brined sausage s would then be jarred which would allow them to be kept during winter months bacteria free. Often kept alongside Sauerkraut, (pickled cabbage) which was also jarred to preserve- just like picked Gerkins. A similar thing happened with fresh, skinless sausages which became the Burger patty (with the Hamburger being the traditional sausage style of the german city Hamburg (not because the patty contained “Ham” 😂)
Basically, jarring is THE traditional method for the hotdog sausage, dating back hundreds of years- wrapping in plastic was an American innovation brought in as a cheaper mass production method in the 1960’s, with a little brine added to maintain texture.
I’ve watched a few of your videos now and I must say they’re enjoyable and I gather this is a good way for you to keep your friends and family back in the states up to date and to journey an adventure which is great, but it’s also interesting for an outsider like me!
I hope that you don’t feel a need to be unnecessarily complimentary towards the UK but I must admit your content has brought to light some very good aspects of life here and while a lot may going awry it’s good to be able to ground oneself a bit and be reminded to be grateful for what we know is there but sometimes neglect.
I would have such a rave of a chat with a person like you if I met them on my travels! Curious as to what it is you do for work, I gather some kind of engineer..
Blair is the engineer 🙂 I work with computer systems.
@@MacandBlair ah that is very cool! I am so curious about people who work in such roles. In fact a lot of the TH-cam channels I favour involve engineering. So far I have only briefly seen your wife (who I presume is Blair) in one video, so I had very little to judge on but when trying the hotdogs she seemed a very pensive person so that doesn’t come as a shock at all!
I very nearly went as narrow as to ask if you were a programmer or something similar. In fact I myself I am a programmer working as a contractor on a blockchain solution for traceability of pharmaceutical supply chains… I would say I have a decent radar for people who think a certain way!
I hail from Lancashire, but I must say that Yorkshire (despite the battle of the 🌹s!) is a wonderful place to go if you haven’t been yet with your family. I went with my folks loads last year… some really beautiful countryside there-Hebden Bridge, Howarth & Skipton should be on your “places to visit” hit list while you’re here in the UK imo!
I never once thought I would hear an american say that they would come to Scotland to buy hot dogs :) Next time you're here, you really should see Glencoe, especially just as the sun starts to set, it's magical. Oh, and please try the haggis!
So these have been around in the Uk since I was a kid! The main thing is that they’re already cooked and very edible cold.
They have the big jar hotdogs all over the UK 😊
Decades before you could buy hotdogs in UK supermarkets, the German and Austrians were selling them in glass jars. This is the traditional way where the hotdogs are called by their proper name which is frankfurter in Germany and weiner in Austria.
We always have them when we go camping, not that variety but they do the same size jar in Tesco and asda, ideal for a quick easy meal
great guy, beautiful family. thanks for the content.
Hi Mac. I know these as Frankfurters that's what my Mum called them in a jar or tinned. You would be better off with a great British local banger (Cumberland or Lincolnshire Sauasage).Love you put them on a quality M&S sub roll- enjoy
Looks tasty! A jar must signify a quality product.
I had to subscribe cause you guys are just so lovely! :D
They are precooked so doesn't matter if they are in a jar, tin or vacuum packed. Stored in brine so they stay fresh for longer.
Have you tried saveloys? Seems you can only find them ready cooked in chip shops these days. Don't remember last time I saw one in a supermarket. They're hot dogs, except, not. They're sausages, except, not. They're kinda in an area between the two. Butchers, or, delicatessens probably still have them. Worth a try if you've never had, kinda unique smokey flavour and denser than hot dogs or sausages. I think they might be a northern thing and having lived in London for ages I just haven't seen them in ages.
Does it taste good son, yes sir! How polite and respectful. Try the German Bratwurst sausages from Lidl or Aldi, delicious. Keep 'em coming SIR.
Also, check in Aldi, they do them in jars and tins.
I’m not a big hot dog eater, but have occasionally had them when I lived in the Middle East, where there were many nationalities (British, American, various other European nationalities, Japanese, Australians etc), and the supermarkets/stores there catered for all of them, so hot dogs, either in jars or sealed plastic, plus French’s mustard & hot dog rolls were all available. I quite liked them, but prefer them with either ketchup or sone kind of BBQ relish, rather than French’s which I find too sweet. But it’s fun to try different things. I agree with you about grilling/BBQing food - it always tastes so good. I mainly like fish, steak or chicken done on the grill 😋👍.
American style really just refers to the style of sausage. Translated into our English, it really just means it's a hot dog... Unless we specifically choose hot dogs, we generally speaking eat sausages in the UK. Usually pork based, but often a mixture and different styles from all over the UK are widely eaten. I'd even guess that the average person eats sausages once a week, whether for breakfast or dinner, or just a snack. As for in the jar, that's just a way of keeping them in the brine liquid. We can get hotdogs in plastic wrap, cans, jars etc. Typically the plastic wrapped ones don't have brining liquid with them, but the cans and jars do. And as they're pre-cooked, then cooled typically, we can quickly cook them in that brining liquid, or just plain water similar to an american hotdog truck would.
