What are the best frankfurters?

[Backdrifter]

Hot dogs are one of those things I always like the idea of, but the reality never lives up to it. They're okay, I just feel they should be better. Can any hot dog experts recommend me the absolute best, top-notch good-quality frankfurters for making an unbeatable hot dog?

Those proper German ones you can get are very nice, had one at a German market in Birmingham and it was delicious! if only i knew where to get them!

[scotman]

The only ones I see around here are by Herta. They have always been reasonable. What exactly is it you are looking for?

[Backdrifter]

well scotman, not Herta, tried those. So, something better than that for a start. So as benny3008 suggested, a 'proper' German one.... yes we have a German market near us at the moment, but I wonder where in London I could buy the ones they use.

Eddie mentioned ALDI ... LIDL also do some great ones, in a huge jar ... which I also can't remember the name of.

[Backdrifter]

Yes of course, Aldi and Lidl, I should try them. Thanks guys. You recommend?

[NazNomad]

I had the LIDL ones at a BBQ this year ...very nice. I would definitely recommend them, yes.
