Scandi Kitchen gives away iconic hot dogs for £1 each on National Hot Dog Day

This National Hot Dog Day (Wednesday 16th July), Scandi Kitchen – London’s leading Scandinavian food emporium with two sites in Central London – is giving their iconic hot dogs away for just £1 to all who celebrate the glorious day.

For the whole day, the two Scandi Kitchen sites in Victoria and Fitzrovia will be serving up these hot dogs at a stellar price, until stocks last.

The Nordic countries are known for their hot dogs, and Londoners can get the real deal at Scandi Kitchen for a fraction of the price. The Scandi Hotdog at Scandi Kitchen is a simple yet classic dish: a typical Scandi sausage in a small bun, with ketchup, mustard, remoulade sauce, crispy onions and pickles.

What makes this so good? First things first, the sausage. These are typically red as a nod to the past when hotdog vendors were allowed to sell yesterday’s sausages for pittance to the kids – but they had to add red food colouring to the water so people knew they were getting day-old sausages. Nowadays, whilst the sausages are no longer day-old sausages, the Nords still make them red for nostalgic reasons.

Next up the bread – the Scandinavians don’t like long buns. So, buns are short and way too small for the sausage.

Last but not least, the toppings, which the Nords take very seriously. A Norwegian style ketchup (neverHeinz), a mustard from Norway, Remoulade is essential (especially if you’re a Dane), crispy onions for texture, and pickles. Of course, each Nord to their own, but Scandi Kitchen likes to stick to this formula to achieve the ultimate, classic Scandi hot dog.

So, to get your hands on something the Scandinavians do incredibly well, we’d suggest you run don’t walk to Scandi Kitchen this National Hot Dog Day to indulge in this sausage love affair.
