>What does the "kreiner" part of this name. Does this mean a word for a sausage?
Käsekrainer!
"Krain" is an old name for the area where now Slovenia is. So a "Krainer" should be renamed into "Slovenier" for p.c. reasons.

Bird,
sure I knew you were just joking!
By the way, the best Frankfurters are produced in Neu-Isenburg. Since I am not into french fries, let the Dutch have the best ones.
And a berliner is not a berliner in Berlin.

Frankfurter Würstchen (sausages) have really been invented in Frankfurt. The oldest trace of these sausages goes back to the year 1280.
Around 1800, a butcher from Frankfurt migrated to Wien. Since then, sausages are served there under the name "Frankfurter".
There was a regulation in Frankfurt then that Frankfurter had to be made from just one kind of meat, pork or beef. In Wien, the Frankfurt butcher Lahner started to produce sausages from mixed meat, beef AND pork, and called them "Wiener Frankfurter". From this, the word "Wiener Würstchen" was derived.
Today, there is hardly any difference between Frankfurter and Wiener.
