the military made the first major use of it leading to the myth, especially outside the realm of purely cademic use..

A decent form of representative government and led the way to the end of monarchies, in many civilized countries.

And, of course, Basketball.

Pretty much a form of sausage, really, which goes way, way back.
Even mustard on it goes way back.

Now, the hot dog--with weenie, mustard and bun--is All-American.
And selling them at stadiums.
With a mobile vendor.

Placing sauerkraut on them is an East Coast aberration.
Chili--is the answer.

You can keep your nasty German saurkraut. I'll take good old southwest USA (Mexican?) chile any time.
You can even leave out the hot dog and substitute a good American tamale.

And let's keep one thing in mind--CHILI--does NOT have beans in it.
You can concoct Chili with beans, that's fine--but Chili for hot dogs should never have beans.

Some German sausages, might be cooked with sauerkraut--and that's ok.
Just--no bun, please.
And a nice Eastern European mustard--they are the mustard kings.

Of course. Any chili lover knows that.
