Mankind has been eating sausage (a word that comes from the Latin salsus: “salted”) for over 3,000 years: its creation is credited to the Babylonians, around 1500 BC, stuffing tripe with ground meat. The art of making it, however, became a German specialty, with the invention of the most varied types of this sausage. Legend has it that a cook from Frankfurt had a dachshund dog – dachshund in German -, a term that ended up baptizing the sausage produced by him. It was a German immigrant, Charles Feltman, who took this particular item to the United States, creating, around 1870, a sandwich with various sauces that he himself sold through the streets in a wheelbarrow. Such was the success that Feltman soon opened his own restaurant. It was, however, in American football stadiums that this snack became one of the most popular on the planet.
There is also a report according to which, during one of these matches, in 1906, the shout of a salesman echoed in the stands: Get your own hot dachshund! (Get your own hot dachshund!) Cartoonist Tad Dorgan, present at the stadium, didn’t pass up the chance to illustrate the scene. However, as he did not understand the word dachshund, he wrote in the caption Get your hot dogs! (Get your hot dogs!) and the name stuck. The problem with this version is that several scholars looked for the cartoon, but never found it.
