One I’ve made myself. The Mexican dog - dog on a bun topped with refried beans, salsa and sour cream. ---

I’ve used spinach sautéed with lots of garlic as a topping- really good. Though I like a plain 1939 dog: Polish sausage with lots of kraut. And mayo on everything. Including the mayo. ---

Russians have this amazingly spicy and delicious mustard that I remember from childhood but can never find in NA. I’d let the French make the bun and leave the chips to the UK. Italians should bring the wine. ---

That Italian variant actually sounds pretty good! I’d use a baguette instead of a standard bun, substitute a grilled Italian sausage for the dog, smother the lot in marina sauce, and top with cheese—Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan, whatever. Then put it under the broiler for a few minutes. A meatball sandwich with a wiener instead! I can see wrapping the sausage in thin slices of salami, pancetta, or prosciutto, too! BTW, Keen’s English mustard in a jar is the best substitute I’ve found for Russian _gorchitsa_ in NA, though I once had some stuff in Paris that singed my sinuses too! ---
