There's a region in Norway where they are served wrapped in a
(Scandinavian style) waffle. That's probably one of the more false
ways to serve a hot dog.

I think it was here where a few months ago someone posted encountering
an "American Hot Dog" in France some years back. The vendor had apparently
only seen pictures of hot dogs and used a vienna sausage with lemon
drizzle instead of mustard.

Very likely. But if it's tasty, it's tasty!

Just saw a food show last night where hot dogs were served in a
burrito. Looked good.

I have, more than once, nuked a left-over brat and rolled it up in
a left-over tortilla.

If you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce,
they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does.

A Navajo hot dog is wrapped in frybread.

That sounds even better. I love frybread.

And I found out a couple days back that if you microwave chicken-based hot
dogs a minute or so too long, they swell up astoundingly, split their ends,
and look like what I can only describe as adventurous dildoes. They don't
get hollow spaces in the bargain, they just swell up to about twice their
original size.

They still taste good though.

I'd assume waffle flavoured waffles. (Scandinavian waffles are usually
eaten with toppings, so they're rarely flavoured themselves except
possibly with a little bit of vanilla or cardamom.)

In Norway, hot-dogs are actually often served wrapped together with
condiments in a lompe (a small lefse-like cake made with potatos).

Incidentally, if you like lefser with cinnamon spread, you can do
worse than to try their cousin the svele:

(I understand that salt of hartshorn can be tricky to get hold of
outside of Scandinavia and Germany but you can make do with just the
sodium bicarbonate. You can also substitute buttermilk for the kefir.)

Can you be blackmailed if someone photographs you eating one?

You'd probably do better to demand money from other people in return for
not showing them the photos...
