Replace the hotdog with regular sausage (cooked on a barbecue), and you've literally got Australia's favourite weekend food. Onions (also barbecued) and tomato sauce optional.

IMO thats not even a struggle.
Real struggle is when you don't even have a hot dog so you just make a mustard sandwich. That's what my childhood was like.
When I was 18 and my parents moved away, I only had $30 for food that first month. I was able to get ramen for 10/$1 and it got me through. It took me many years to be able to enjoy ramen after I was able to afford not being forced to eat it.
When I was in college I lived off the really cheap ramen... until it literally made me sick.
I can afford the higher quality ramen now (air fried, actual vegetable packets) which is a little more expensive (but still comparatively cheap). Still a great go-to day snack to keep me going.
Thats advanced struggle, ngl tho I really like mustard so I might eat that normally 😅
Struggle?! The ol' Bunnings snag is a delicacy!

A good Australian partaking in holy communion at the church of bunnings on a Sunday.
Except its a sausage not a hotdog
And they're $3.50 in Darwin
The noble tradition of a sausage sizzle is far older^[citation^ ^needed]^ and more noble than any "Bunnings"
Thats an aussie delicacy, what struggle?
Snags ftw, mate!
Tortillas are actually good for hotdogs. White bread tends to fall apart with mustard or relish.
Hotdogs wrapped in a tortilla are awesome, especially while camping. Saves soooo much space compared to a bag of buns and can't be squished so easily.
I put down a slice cheese first, that seals the bread from anything wet, like sauerkraut or condiments.
Depending on how you define tortilla, this is the default way in Norway. At least when I was a kid we grilled and ate them like this with ketchup, mustard and crispy onions, can recommend.
I'm glad to see others sharing the best way to eat a hotdog.
I found it on my own, had tortillas from making tacos, but run out of meat, so I checked what else I had, and there it was, a perfectly nice sausage. So I made myself a Mex dog and I loved it, much better than with buns and a lot less messy.
Hmmmmmmmm you might be on to something ill have to try that out with my niece next time I have her haha
When I was a kid this was just how you ate hotdogs at home. Chili dog was an open face sandwich.
Am i the only one who would cut it in half and then cut those in half if it was going on white bread? I would then stack them and make an actual sandwich.

Making your point with Blender is a new level
At that point you may as well cook.
And once you've sliced it like that, fry all the flat edges for that lush crispy burned goodness
This is my go-to solution when I've got hotdogs and hamburger buns but no hamburgers or hotdog buns.
What software is this?
Nice. Any tutorials you recommend that I can follow to start learning 3d Modeling?
The best place to start is this guy or some others like him.

There are tons of good tutorials online but I would start with the Guru.
Yep, 2 min in blender. I really could have made it better but it’s to make a point about a hot dog on the internet.
Free, amazing, and cross platform.
I have done this. Cutting it in half creates a flat surface so the bread isn't thinner in one area, the gaps are all condiments, and it prevents the hotdog from rolling out.
Cut the hotdogs lengthwise and lay them flat on the bread with mustard and relish. It's actually good af
Unpopular opinion, but I got used to eating hot dogs growing up with regular sliced bread and I might even prefer it. The bun/dog ratio is good. However, I know it's more bread and is contradictory, but Danish hot dogs are my favorite.
It fits better diagonally
It's still industrial sausage on industrial bread. Fold it and there isn't much difference.
Flat the sandwich bread with a rolling pin or a bottle (or whatever you have) then cover the weiner all around, at thins point you can add breadcrumbs and egg or leave it. Put it om airfryer for a while and there you go. Korean hot dog
This is Pee-wee league, try the banana sandwich.
Peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, or both?
I never understood how this was somehow a sign of being poor. I don't buy hotdog buns. I have always ate my hotdogs this way.
This is my preferred consumption method. Buy a bag of hotdog buns and they have a single purpose, be a fluffy sausage pocket.
Hotdog buns with:
- PB & J - too much bread and possibly to sloppy
- In place of sandwich bread - nice try Satan.
It is a bread product designed with a singular purpose.
A loaf of sandwich bread, that is like the Swiss army knife of bread.
Is this a prank?
What? I came home and ate it tonight with a slice of fake cheese on each one. The franks were beef though.
with at least mustard though, right?
These mfs don't know the struggle til they've tried hotsauce bread AKA HSB
Goes well with the Mac&Chz made with water because you don't have milk
You boil your macncheese in milk?
Boil mac and cheese*, drain the pasta, put in industrial cheese powder agent, moisten with water instead of milk, put in butter/margarine/tears and stir.
*Note that this refers to what us Canucks call Kraft Dinner (which has the Kleenex effect going on, kinda). Proper mac and cheese is not a struggle meal in comparison.
But...that's the best thing tho. Toast the bread, add some lettuce, and some chilli sauce and mayo, it would be a good meal for me.
I would sometimes just eat the bread with yellow mustard. It's rough.
Is that actually good? I've just eaten plain bread with water. Mind you, I usually just bake my own bread and it comes out delicious as is.
The real question is why the hell would you place the hot dog in this direction. Being vertical means the bread will not fully wrap around the dog and therefore not hold any condiments. Horizontally will allow for adequate condiments. The only downside being the ends of the bread will have hotdog sticking out.
Fuck me! This is brilliant! I am gonna do just this!
I never noticed how modest my childhood lifestyle was until my 1st grade teacher asked the class what we all did for vacation during the school break. I worked on a ranch or stayed home playing with secondhand toys. I remember thinking "wait... is this what people do? How?" I remember missing out on many opportunities as a child (travel, sports, restaurants, etc) due to finances, but still don't consider it being a "poor" upbringing overall. My parents did the best they could with what they had, and I think having limited opportunities actually helped me be more creative with my time.
Anyway, back to the point... when we had them available sometime after getting a microwave, I ate hot dogs like this periodically in elementary school through college.
