__NOTOC__
Summer, in many people's minds, is a time of barbecues and picnics. One common food in this is the hot dog, often grilled and served in a bun. The history of the hot dog went to ancient periods when sausages developed as a popular food. Modern hot dogs result from the efficient use of meat remains after the processing of meat products. The hot dog's history is often seen or attributed to German origins, but there is a dispute about this even here.

====Later Developments====
In the early 1900s, food manufacturers began to produce hot dogs in larger quantities. At this time, food emulsifiers were often added to preserve hot dogs further as they were packaged and shipped to increasingly more distant places. In fact, in the early 1900s, food manufacturers created a somewhat negative image of hot dogs that still affects their reputation. During this time, some manufacturers began to add sawdust or applied other shortcuts, including mixing meats with different animals and sometimes even rotting meat.
