Are hot dogs really made from pigs' snouts and unused meat scraps? Contrary to popular belief, hot dogs are not made from left-over meat laying around on the floors of meat-packing houses.

Well I was certainly exaggerating a bit, however, two things remain: since you cannot identify the cintent of hot dogs, you just have to hope that the standard of prodúction does not fail you. but in germnay we have had so many food scandals in the meat industry in the recent years, that it has really chnaged consummer behavior to a recognizable level, especially with regard to so-called Döner. Mouldy meat cannot be identified if being used for factory poizzas, döner, hot dogs, and other specialities.

and second, look at the consistency of a hot dog, or what in german is called Fleischwurst, different to ordinary bratwurst where meat and remains are shreddered. Fleischwurst (pork sausage?) really gets turned into a vicous, unidentifyable mass by adding enzymes to it, and then stoirring it, and solidifying it again. It then has gotten the consistency you now from hot dogs, and that has nothing in common with real meat. You also cannot identify what is in it, and just have to trust the manufacturer.

Preferring a simple steak from cattle, with salt, pepper and herbal butter any time, no matter if roasted or fried! Don't need no predigested meat. I'm not liking the taste of Fleischwurst/hot dog, too.
