hot

A hot dog (less commonly spelled hotdog) is a food consisting of a grilled or steamed sausage served in the slit of a partially sliced bun. The term hot dog can also refer to the sausage itself. The sausage used is a wiener (Vienna sausage) or a frankfurter (Frankfurter Würstchen, also just called frank). The names of these sausages also commonly refer to their assembled dish. Some consider it to be a sandwich. Hot dog preparation and condiments vary worldwide. Typical condiments include mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, relish, and cheese sauce, and common garnishes include onions, sauerkraut, jalapeños, chili, grated cheese, coleslaw, bacon, and olives. Hot dog variants include the corn dog and pigs in a blanket. The hot dog's cultural traditions include the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest and the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
These types of sausages were culturally imported from Germany and became popular in the United States. It became a working-class street food in the U.S., sold at stands and carts. The hot dog became closely associated with baseball and American culture. Although particularly connected with New York City and its cuisine, the hot dog eventually became ubiquitous throughout the US during the 20th century. Its preparation varies regionally in the country, emerging as an important part of other regional cuisines, including Chicago street cuisine.

    New thermostatic shower cylinder fitted - now water is not hot enough

    I have a Bristan mixer shower. It started leaking from the temperature control. A local plumber replaced the thermostatic cylinder. It now doesn't leak - but the water is now 15-20 per cent colder than it was before when the temperature is at max hot. Why? What's amiss here?

    How long should I have my hot water coming on a day?

    I guess it all depends on the number of people living in a property and whether you have a shower everyday etc. But what's the recommended time I should have my hot water coming on a day. My local plumber stated an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening - seems excessive to me. Any thoughts?
