International Hot Dog Day is celebrated worldwide on 23 July. \"The BIOVELA Group invites you to recall the history of this dish and shares tips for making the perfect hot dog.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The story of the birth of Hot Dogs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Culinary historians still disagree on how the hot dog and its name came about. One version is that in 1904, Anton Feuchtwanger, a Bavarian, was selling hot sausages at a trade fair in Louisiana and, to prevent rich buyers from getting burnt and getting their hands dirty, he gave them white gloves to wear when eating them. Since most of the gloves were never returned, Feuchtwanger began to run out. He asked his cousin, a baker, to help him bake elongated buns into which the sausages could be inserted - the precursor to the hot dog.<\/p>\n

The second version tells a very different story of the hot dog: the term \"hot dog\" was already in use in 1894 at Yale, where elongated \"dog carts\" were parked outside the students' dormitories and hot dogs were sold from them. However, other sources point to an even earlier origin of the term 'hot dog', suggesting that dachshund sausages were brought to America by German immigrants, whose dachshund puppies attracted ridicule and comparisons with sausages. The name was later applied to the German favourite Frankfurt sausages, the 'little dogs'. Still later, the term was transformed into the well-known 'hot dog'.<\/p>\n

Sausage festival<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"BIOVELA Group, which produces around 7,561 tonnes of sausages a year, decided to celebrate this day with its colleagues by organising the Sausage Festival. At the Utena plant, all employees were treated to a special hot dog feast with Bratwurst sausages and various condiments. The festival also included a competition to see which employee could eat a hot dog the fastest. The best time recorded was 28 seconds! In the festival area, everyone was also treated to a \"bio-vegan\" blue punch, there was music, a lounge area, and Cloud Kitchen Catering, a restaurant on wheels, made sure that all the employees enjoyed the perfect hot dog.<\/p>\n

\"It's always fun to get together to celebrate the holidays, and it's even more fun when the holidays are about our passion - food. It was a challenge to bring together around 1,600 employees, so we planned the event carefully in advance. As the largest employer in the Utena region, we are responsible for all of our employees, so we are happy to be together not only to work, to achieve common goals, but also to have fun\", says Ieva Ragauskait\u0117, Director of the Human Resources Department.<\/p>\n
