Page "hobbies" Paragraph 449

Sure, for the most of us, a frankfurter is the favorite.

A story goes that a certain Herr Feuchtwanger of St. Louis, around 1883 served his sausages ( grilled ) and mustard to his fancy customers.

So that his customers should not soil their hands, Feuchtwanger issued white gloves.

Discovery that the gloves frequently left with the customers made the wise peddler of spiced sausage-meat come upon a compromise.

He had a bakery make buns sized to fit his franks.

Years later, franks-in-buns were accepted as the `` first to go '' at the New York Polo Grounds.
