According to WiseGeek.Com, "Vienna sausages are a type of sausage traditionally made in the Austrian city of Vienna. They are closely related to Frankfurters, sausages produced in Frankfurt, Germany, and food historians believe that the original Vienna sausage was probably produced by a butcher who had traveled to Frankfurt. Modern Vienna sausages are typically found in canned form in many parts of the world, and they vie with Frankfurters for the claim of being the original hot dog. Some producers also make miniature Vienna sausages which are used on appetizer platters."
Although not my favorite kind of sausage, we always make it a point to put a can or two of the vienna sausage whenever we do grocery shopping because it's already pre-cooked, and we can just open a can and eat it when we are quite lazy to cook something up. This can of sausage is made from beef, something I prefer to eat. I can just eat this straight from the can, but sometimes I would make thin slices and put it in my bread.

It's been a while since I've had one of these but sure do remember them - they'd make a good pantry staple for surprise guests or lazy dinners. (I'm all for lazy dinners. :))

Mmm! I've never had Vienna Sausage, but I have had frankfurters. I quite like them!
