I used to sell Kosher meats, not too much is in true Kosher (read not Kosher-style) hot dogs, usually beef, spices, some preservatives and that is it, only the forequarter cuts of beef are used.

A kosher frank is good no doubt but a natural casing frank is what really sets apart a hot dog in my opinion, I don't care what meat(s) or parts it is stuffed with.

It's amazing how many Doner Kebab shops there are in Berlin.

Happy eating.
