“Now the word frankfurter comes from the city of Frankfurt, Germany, where pork sausages served in a bun similar to hot dogs originated. These sausages, called Frankfurter Würstchen, were even known as far back as the 13th century, when they were given to the people at imperial coronations. That’s right, hot dogs made history when they were served at the coronation of Maximillian II, the Holy Roman Emperor, as King in the year 1562.  I hear they were a big hit, so they remained on the royal menu for future coronations.”
