casing of sheep's intestine, then given a low-temperature smoking.[1][2] The word Wiener is German for 'Viennese'.[3] In Austria, the term "Wiener" is uncommon for this food item, which instead is usually called Frankfurter Würstl.[4]

Europe

In some European countries, cooked and often smoked wiener sausages bought fresh from

casing. European Vienna sausages served hot in a long bun with condiments are often called "hot dogs", referring to the long sandwich as a whole.[5][6] A spiced, paprika-rich look-alike of Vienna sausage is known as debrecener
.

North America

After having been brought to North America by European immigrants, "Vienna sausage" came to mean only smaller and much shorter

casing, sometimes smoked, always thoroughly cooked. Beginning in the 1950s, the casings were removed.[7] The sausages are cut into short segments for canning and cooking. They are available plain (in gelatin, similar to aspic) or with a variety of flavorings, such as smoke, mustard, chili, or barbecue sauces. Consumption of Vienna sausages peaked in the 1940s to 1970s but has declined since then.[7]
