Why aren't hot dog buns more popular in Germany? (lemmy.world)

Sausages are a staple of German street food, and yet most places serve sausages in a round "semmel" bun. But the sausages are long (duh) so they just beg for a longer bun. Why do you think hot-dog-style buns aren't more popular?

Yeah, I was gonna say, aren't traditional hot dog buns with sugar and the consistency of a sponge?

You can get proper bread buns in a longer shape, but they have a higher surface area compared to the volume, so they're often harder when fresh and dry out more quickly, too.

These "Baguettbrötchen" for crisping at home might work.

edit: nvm - most of them are quite short

edit2: They are sold either with 6 or with 4 buns in it. The 4 bun version is a bit longer.
