craftable hot dog wieners

[Silence30]

make them out of probably any animal, but if you wanted to only limit us to 1 animal, just choose pigs. half of a porkchop to make 1 hot dog wiener. i dont know if its worth the effort to make a hot dog making machine ( the presser, the thing that presses the meat into the plastic wrap) and instead maybe increase the required cooking level to 5+ to off set the missing machine.

The guy in the video confuses a few things, which is a relatively common these days, but for the sake of clarity, I'd like to point out a few things.

1) Technically "Hot Dogs" are Frankfurter and not Wiener sausages and what the guy makes in the video is some kind of a Wiener style sausage, as he uses beef only. Wiener are usually made from pork and beef, while Frankfurter are made from pure pork.
2) You don't need a "hot dog making machine", like the guy in the video. As far as I can tell, the guy uses a Sausagebinder, which isn't necessary for homemade sausages. There are attachments for meatgrinders, that allow you to push the sausage meat directly into the sausage casing. So you would grind the meat a couple of times, when it is ready, set it to the finest setting, put on the attachment, now you put the sausage casing over the attachment and then you grind the meat directly into the casing.

3) Contrary to what the guy uses in the video, you would use a so called "Saitling", which is made from sheep intestines and is completly edible. There is no need to push the sausage out of its skin, when you want to eat or cook it.

3a) By the way, that is not a plastic wrap in the video. He uses a cellulose casing. Cellulose is a polysaccharide, while plastic is a term used for synthetic polymeres.

4) I don't see a reason, for needing a relatively high cooking level, to make this. I have done this myself once and it is not that hard. The most difficult thing would be to prepare the sheep intestine in order to turn it into a Saitling and finding a proper meatgrinder. But once you have those, the procedure is relatively simple. After all you are merely pushing minced meat into a casing. You are not "cooking" anything at this point.

I would like to add that both hotdog and hamburger buns should realistically be usable for making sandwiches with basically anything you choose.  There is no reason you shouldn't be able to cram a piece of chicken in between any kind of bread and call it a sandwich.  There should even be a recipe for "Pizza Burgers" using a minimum of tomato paste, cheese and a bun (with enough ingredient space to add at least 1 topping).  1 bun could give 2 pizza burgers since they're made like open face sandwiches)
