how do you say hotdog ( as in the food ) in spanish???

Question

How do you say the word "hotdog" (the food) in spanish? Can you help?

Answer 1

Don't say "perro caliente" in Argentina. You will be asking for a horny dog.

The (very elaborate) Argentinian version of a hot dog is a "pancho." - yonder, Aug 26, 2015

Answer 2

Hot dog = el perro caliente

You can also say "la salchicha" which is a more general term for sausage/processed meat links.

This is a description my professor from Catalonia, Spain gave to our class. Like many other things, I'm sure there are variations on the usage from place to place.

"la salchicha", if you want to go that way. - Gekkosan, Oct 19, 2010

Answer 5

Here it is "hotdog" with the English pronunciation (more or less) and there are several hotdog vendors around. Salchicha is a sliced up sausage put a wooden skewer and cooked on a grill. They also sell pieces of beef or chicken on skewers at the same stands.
