Danish Hot Dogs - Bacon?

[harryc]

Has anyone found a shop in PK area with Danish hot dogs ( - and bacon)? I just heard a BBC program on Danish hot dogs - and was just wondering if they've gotten into Finland - I know there was one truck going around with ready product at a 'not nice price.'

Danish bacon has always been good - and as Finland has finally joined the bacon market in the last decade or two - so wonder if anyone has found that?

You can get Tulip bacon in most supermarkets, that is Danish. I have even seen "english style" Danish bacon.

Not seen Danish hotdog sausages in Finland, but here in Copenhagen there are lots

Lidls stuff might be.

No 'red' polse for the dogs - and Lidl bacon is unfortunately marginal these days - often 'off' tasting (was rather good 2-3 years ago).

Best I've had lately was K-Menu - very mild - not really very 'bacony' - but at least free of 'off' tastes. Wotkins somehow weird. HK - not really bad - but most expensive - mind you - those guys in early 90's came up with 'American' bacon - was NOT the sweet smoke hickory etc. but hard, aggressive ssmoke - called them and they said they had no knowledge of what American bacon might be but thought it good 'marketing' name - they've come to the 'sweet' smoke in last few years - but still not good - and certainly not related to ther price.

Lidl used to have "meetwursti" that was the distinct "danish pink for the german market", hence I thought it might be so. Their bottled hotdogs might have been Tulip. But as people get "used to" a certain thing newcomers imitate as it sells better, so it could be Polish. Which isn't bad, in my local Morrisons theres a wee polis section with all kinds of goodies like herring... If I wanted "old fashioned" stuff I'd go in winter with a freezerbox to Tallinn. Despite the economy, they still fo proper sausages and "siga"
