Understood. Thank you :).
That would work but if you can find a butcher that make their own sausage they are much better.
Thanks for replying. I live in Israel so should I take that to mean a very good quality hot dog?
you can use hot dogs but this was referring to a proper sausage something like Jacks gourmet or others on the market now
What do you mean by sausage? Is that hotdogs or salami or something else? Thank you.
