Hot Dog Buns...

[Furryanimal]

When cutting a hot dog bun do you cut the top or the side?

 

[Camper6]

No one cuts the crusty part.

Crusty?..in this country Hot dog buns are soft... no crusty part..

Every single hot dog bun I've ever used has been shaped by a mold to easily be cut on the side. I imagine that if anyone cut it from the top, down, whatever was plopped into that cut would work its way right out the sides.

Side or top doesn't matter to me, it won't have
time to fall out!

Years ago I knew of a hot dog seller who stuck
the buns on a heated spike, it looked to me like
a hot curling tong that had been modified, but
it toasted the inside,you had to have the mustard
on the dog before it went in.

The hot dog buns that I buy are precut.

I prefer the soft-sided split top or top loading New England style buns, toasted please.

Hmm.... maybe it's a matter of perspective, here. Those buns look, to me, like they're split on the side. I guess I'd have to see them from all sides, to decide.

toasted please

for this dog, yes please

Conventional hot dog bun and New England style hot dog bun. Just don't give me hot dog on a slice of bread it makes me feel poor.

That NE style bun looks just like a folded, thick slice of bread, to me. Never seen it, before. Can't see the bun aspect of it, but I'm sure those who favor it, enjoy it. Bon appetit!

The first one in your picture Bea, is the type we have here...

 

[Tommy]

The only place you're likely to find the type that's split from the top is in New England, and even here the stores offer both varieties. I much prefer the conventional (split from the side) kind, but I suppose it has to do with what you're accustomed to.

How would cutting from the top allow you to ut a hot dog in there? wouldn't you just end up with two smaller uncut buns? Maybe I am not visualizing this correctly

 

[Fyrefox]

Almost all hot dog buns sold in stores that I frequent are pre-cut. If they're available, I prefer those cut from the top as I find they better maintain contents.

 

[rkunsaw]

I've never seen the New England style, Bea. I'll see if I can find them.

The New England hot dog rolls are delicious and were one of our biggest sellers. They are made different than the regular HD roll. They actually are a bread roll made for HD.

 

[jujube]

I rather liked these. I like lots of pickle relish on my hot dogs and regular buns get soggy and the hot dog falls out the bottom if I don't eat quickly.

It appears we have uncovered the UK's great hot dog bun abuse. For centuries, they have been abusing helpless buns by maliciously hacking them to pieces. I have heard they gather in large numbers, which they call "going on picnic". And in full view of the hot dogs, they slash away with large knives at defenseless buns. At least in the US, we eat our hotdogs unscathed by cold steel.

It no longer matters to me. I haven't touched a hot dog since I was a teenager.

Now THAT looks interesting, unlike the folded thick bread slices posted previously that had no bun appeal, as I saw it.

I eat, maybe, three tofu dogs a year. I use the regular side-cut buns. If I can find those Toufayan buns, I'll give them a go.

Yep, nothing more than thick bread, folded.

We like top sliced Peppridge farms hot dog buns. The side sliced just don't work as well, as they are sliced all the way through. The top sliced bun forms a nice pocket. Hey, to each his own. There is no wrong way to eat a hot dog. We like Ballpark all beef dogs.
