Sausages are widely used in cooking - depending on the type of sausages, they can be boiled, fried, stewed, eaten raw, added in sliced form to other dishes (e.g. pizza), used in barbecues, stuffed, twisted into minced meat. Other common dishes made with sausages include sausage in batter, hot dog, hot dog in pita bread, pancake dog, pancake dog, and corn dog.
As the story goes, modern sausages were invented by Johann Laner (1772-1845), a butcher who moved from Frankfurt to Vienna on November 13, 1805. The question of who exactly invented sausages is a long-standing dispute between the cities of Frankfurt and Vienna. Sausages had been made in Frankfurt since the Middle Ages, but Vienna's sausages were the first to use a mixture of beef and pork - the recipe used to make modern sausages.
