Today in History: A butcher invents a recipe and calls it the frankfurter

Today in History: A butcher invents a recipe and calls it the frankfurter

By Toby Friedman

Does your mouth salivate at the thought of a steaming frankfurter topped with mustard? It all goes back to November 13, 1805, when Johann George Lehner, a Frankfurt-trained butcher, invented a recipe and called it the frankfurter. This tasty deli-meat is also known as the wienerwurst, which means Vienna sausage in German, since it was created in Vienna. However, some say that the sausage goes back over a thousand years, at a time when they used real animal intestines to stuff the meat in. Ugh. Today they make artificial casings from collagen and cellulose for the frankfurters, which hopefully restores your appetite.
