A '''hot dog''' is a sausage made from [[beef]] or [[pork]] or both. Hot dogs contain seasonings and are cured and cooked. Hot dogs are among [[America]]s favorite foods. Every year, Americans consume on average 60 hot dogs. Hot dogs are primarily regarded as a fun, summertime food, and most are eaten between [[Memorial Day]] and [[Labor Day]]. Americans are not the only ones who love hot dogs. The Spanish call them ''perrito caliente,'' in Italian, it's ''cane caldo,'' the French refer to them as ''chien chaud,'' Germans call them ''Heisser Hund,'' and the Dutch have dubbed them ''worstjes.'' Hot dogs are usually served with [[condiment]]s:
*[[Ketchup]]
*[[Mustard]]
*[[Relish]]
*[[Chili]]
