I've been using the sokolow franks that you get in most supermarkets, the smoked ones are really good, cheap to.

Lidls and Aldi do German Brats, Wurst and Franks, always good and very cheap.
Part cooked, uncooked and in jars.
Just passing it on.

Cheers

They are the only place I've ever found my favourite Nuremburgers (little sausages about the size of chipolatas) absolutely marvelous with a Becks (from Nuremburg) & a potato salad on a nice sunny day :D

I bought a hot dog in the Costco cafe the other day and it was one of the best I have ever had apart from Chicago. Unlike Ye old oak type rubbish it had a real bite to it and a great meaty texture. So now I'm on the look out for some good hot dog sausages.

Also does anybody have any good recipes for chili dogs :D

My kids love the hotdogs at Costco. They do sell the hotdogs wholesale - they are in the ambient foods section (they do not need refrigeration believe it or not).

It's the rollovers that are in the ambient section, (absolutely delish.....) Costco sell footlongs along the Deli section mixed in with the Bloom's etc, you can't miss them they're............a foot long ;)

The ambient "dawg" was, according to the Rollover website, designed for street vendors who may not always have refrigeration. I've used them for a couple of years, and have tried freezing them using a vac sealer with great success. The ones we had at the last BBQ had been "in" for just under 6 months and tasted great, but that could be the cheese stuffing and or streaky bacon wrapping ;)

I made some dogs the other week, they turned out absolutely great.... Obviously I waited until the wife was out :D

Chicken and pork throught the grinder

After grinding, blitz in food processer until it emulsifies

Stuffed into artificial casings and then tied off with string

Image

Gentle bath

Image

Remove the casings and bobs your uncle

I know it relies on having a meat grinder and a stuffer, but if you have the kit I can thoroughly reccomend having a go, it is really very easy and the results are superb.

Was this with a seasoning mix and is there any problem with them being skinless on a grill?
