My favorite are Sabrett in natural casing, easy to find in NYC but not
elsewhere ... they are the ones sold from the umbrella carts.
Used to be natural casing dawgs were sold at most delis and butcher
shops but not anymore. They used to be hand made with each link hand
tied with string. back in the '40s/'50s, butcher shops and delis
made their own. They'd hang on hooks, there were no plastic packs
back then. There was a large butcher shop in Hollywood, CA. that the
entire store was a refrigerator, with double doors at the entry. I'd
buy our meat there and when I brought my daughter shopping they'd give
her a dawg for each hand.

I grew up in NYC when you couldn't walk a block without tripping over
a real kosher deli or a real German butcher shop... they sold real
Saw-Seege, not the fake-o crapola you find in plastic packs in every
stupidmarket today... those were the days when there were real Appys
everywhere, foods that gave powerful orgasms... couples would buy
chopped herring and bialis for dinner and they didn't need birth
control, they didn't need to have sex that night... chopped herring on
a biali smelled/tasted 'zactly the same!
