NEW Herta JUMBOS Vs ALDI 10 Frankfurters Food Review

[@Dreamweaver787]

To add a bit of extra taste to these I boil them, than in the same pan as the fried onions I then add the sausage to brown them a bit, taste even better.

[@chefapocalypto8807]

£8.70/kg for cheap pork cuts.... Robbing sods 🤬

[@robertsmelt6638]

Just reminded me of the Spam and onion bap I had yesterday. I sell at car boot and catering girl was over generous with the onions. Definitely a very windy evening. I generally prefer red onions. Herta sausages have been around forever in the UK. I'd still say original and best.

[@jimthefinger7391]

Cheers that gives me an idea!

[@billodonoghue9781]

try wrapping the aldi hotdogs in bacon and grill them. glaze with bbq sauce if you like that an it adds to the flavor and texture, really nice. The aldi hotdogs are great value imo.

[@1aberbeeg]

Love watching you get in a knot but fair play you recover so well. Keep going with the reviews, I find them so helpful, even the slip ups. 😊

Happy Easter gaz and family and the same to all the foodies on here godbless all

[@SuperLittleTyke]

The Herta sausages are French (FR). They contain a lot more "dodgy" ingredients than the Aldi ones. I still prefer Lidl Bockwurst, though. I also fry some onions when I prepare a hotdog.

[@TheChodax]

You have good taste, the LIDL Bocks are excellent and very high pork content.

[@jameskrell4392]

I doubt they contain more dodgy ingredients. French meat is often higher welfare than ours, you only have to taste their flavousome pork against our tasteless supermarket pork. I agree about the Lidl bockwurst though. Lidl dosen’t trade on imitation or trying to copy.

[@john07973]

@@jameskrell4392 I think they are referring to all the crap ingredients added in the French factory not specifically the couple of percent less French meat. Aldi are German made not as you put it tasteless UK pork.

[@user-bh8zb1ib7r]

Love em, but £2.19to £3.69 over the last year.... Sheeez. :).

[@SuperLittleTyke]

@@jameskrell4392 The list is longer on the Herta sausages package. Germany has much stricter rules regulating the contents of sausages than either France or Britain. Try buying Richmond sausages in Germany!

[@adrianwood4661]

I remember the 10X was 99p and very tasty enjoy your meal

[@Radfordperson]

I stopped buying the Aldi ones when the price increased from 99p to nearly double.

[@catificationcorner]

I would have to add 2 of those skinny hotdogs in the bun to make up the ratio. Otherwise too much bread to chomp through 😂

Hot dog vendor carts in Toronto run 24/7 in downtown. Toppings are,sauerkraut,raw onions,gherkins,corn relish,ketchup,mustard,hot dog relish (green),mayonnaise,bacon bits. Buy your hotdog and top it yourself from the choices in tubs.

[@FossaBooks]

Worth keeping an eye on Heron's, they often get Herta dogs in for really cheap..!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers will do

[@SuperLittleTyke]

Does Heron stock Mayflower frozen meals like beef curry or special fried rice? Normally I get these from farmfoods, but it's a longer shopping trip.

[@andyotoole3485]

Just came to post this, you can often get them in the heron, 2 packs for £1. Practically lived on them at one point 😂. Haven't seen them for a while though, sadly.

[@TheChodax]

The Dulano range from LIDL is the best of the bunch. Their Frank's, Brats and Bocks are the best of any supermarket. The Brats are 92% pork as well iirc.

[@susancjones213]

My husband who is American swears the Herta are the closest thing you can get over here to an American hot dog 🌭 the Aldi ones are good in a pinch but the Herta are the best. Usually only buy them when they are on offer to be fair and then put a couple of packs in the freezer 👍🏻 Good video again Gareth 👍🏻

Instead of putting them in water Gareth, next time try em in t'owd air fryer. Did mine for about 4/5 mins and they were lovely. Nice with onion rings too !

[@SuperLittleTyke]

I heat mine sous vide. Vacuum seal them, then place them in not too hot water for 20 minutes. This method keeps the flavours in.

[@TheChodax]

Yep, I airfry mine as well, adds to the flavour.

Try Dino's famous big dogs. Proper american style humongous meaty hot dogs. And do them american style so grill them rather than boil them. Throw into a soft, warmed brioche roll with mustard - Dijon is best but american works well - throw in some soft fried onions - not cremated like in the video - and chopped up vinegared pickles and jalapenos. Spot on

Try snapping the lid of the mustard container backwards to keep it open during squirting. French's provided a hidden latch for your convenience.

German food standards for meats in Frankfurters and other sausages are actually pretty high. Aldi's were German, Herta were French.

[@billmagowan1492]

Mechanically recovered meat plus bollocks anuses snouts intestines in fact anything from the pig carcass can legally be described as ‘meat’-add chemical E numbers and cheapo spices/herbs for flavouring and you’ve got yourself a legal heart attack on a plate, no wonder the NHS is overloaded!!

[@simonagree4070]

Here in the Mexican markets you can get sausages that actually list the different kinds of offal meats they contain (pig snouts, lips, etc.) as a point of pride.

[@TheAdArchive]

I really struggle with mass produced hotdogs like that. They were alright when I was 15 but now I’m 50 I just would never buy them. Especially when there are loads of gourmet hot dog sausages out there. Nice review dude, and happy Easter.

[@alexandrasmith7682]

Technically, you don't fry the onions for hotdog, you steam them. In the US, you can buy "sweet white" onions and they are not as pungent and work beautifully. Depending on the State you are in, some use plain mustard but others use a mustard pickle. Husband is American and will only eat the Hertz - typical Southern boy he likes his smothered with chilli. Maybe another meal try out for you! Bun, hotdog, lashings of meat chilli, smothered with grated cheese. Enjoy!

[@Pete_R]

Love how Gareth has a script reading the comparison between the 2 products 😂😂😂 Also I find the best way to cook hotdogs is either the oven or the grill

[@Grentastic]

Hey Gaz, I love your videos.... I watch them all the time and they provide some really good insight into comparisons and recommendations. I have to say though, you often say "I'm all over the place".... this time you kind of were. A really good pair of products to compare, but your comparison......using different bread, different condiments (onions on one, none on the other).. I'm afraid the water between bites doesn't mean anything on this one. I'm sorry to sound negative, I promise my message is just an honest one to highlight my surprise and it's probably because you are generally SO fastidious in making sure the comparison is so fair (water between tastes, for example). Still enjoyed the video, as always. Keep up the great work mate :)

[@judefrazier4727]

Over here ( US ) we have so many different hot dogs, there must be thousands, the grocery stores here in the East usually offer around fifteen different varieties including the Maine reds

I used to sell Herta hotdogs. Frying them 100 times more tastier. Used to have a constant queue. Boiling your pouring the taste down the sink.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers I will next time

[@uglenddalejones2]

Awesome 🙌👌🔥👏🏻👏🏻 I have recently preferred herta,because of the flavour.so,this new jumbo version is interesting me. Another to try gar,is morliny original hotdog sausages- you’ll find them in the fridge section among the world foods. And cooking the onions in a bit of lard gives it another epic edge. Loved this.brilliant

[@peterclarke3300]

Great review Gaz but you should of put 2 small too one big and smoky ones are better 👏👏👍👍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers Peter

[@ianm2170]

A bit unfair that one has all the onions [and yes, they are a must]. Either way, German food designation standards require that "Frankfurters" must be all pork, so they both got that right. It's very dissapointing when you look at the ingredients and they've thrown in chicken too 'cos it's cheaper. Good review, as always.

[@jpaulc441]

I wish American style beef hotdogs were more common in the UK. You can get them but not in any of the big supermarkets and I'm not sure why. In my local Sainsbury's and Tesco, they have an imported food section and there were several "American style" hotdogs but on closer inspection they were imported from Germany and were pork based. They even had beef salami but no beef hotdogs.

[@stewartgovan1672]

Hi Gareth. Thanks for another brill review. I haven't had hotdogs in ages. Might have some tomorrow night lol. Both looked good. Depends whether you prefer 4 big bangers or 10 skinny ones. Lol. Got to have the fried onions ketchup and mustard with some seasoning also. Keep up the spot on work. Best wishes from Scotland.

[@janwong9437]

The co op do they're own "Irresistible" range and they are amazing

[@leonskum.5682]

I've been buying Hertas for many years now but the last couple of times, I've noticed a change. I always griddle them so they get a nice char on them and the amount of water coming out of them is ridiculous. They also don't get that 'bite' that you used to get with them and have noticeably less flavour. Think I'll try the alternatives from now on.

[@corringhamdepot4434]

I remember eating franks and potato salad from a stall in Hamburg in the late 1960s. The ones they sell now are nothing like they used to be back them. I miss the crack of biting through the skin, and having the "juice" run out.

Looking like works of art with the mustard sauce, another classic BFG review. If not in a bun, frankfurters for dinner in our house are served with sauerkraut and boiled potatoes and mayo and loads of different mustards and several pickles.

[@glennledrew8347]

For me, fry the dogs (if not BBQing) and keep the onions raw. Same for burgers.

[@bodbrochbremner6581]

I’m very glad to see that there wasn’t mechanically separated meat in the ingredients. I wouldn’t buy them if there was. I’d probably opt for the Aldi brand smaller sausages but more of them.

[@user-nx8ii4ef7f]

Never knew Gareth could get so complicated over a fake sausage!!

[@kevinh96]

Germany has stricter rules when it comes to their sausages and they have been in place often for hundreds of years, so the Aldi ones are probably closer to a proper German Frankfurter but still not as good as the best I would think. Order some from an online company called The Sausage Man who specialise in quality German made sausages and compare them with the cheaper ones. The difference is quite stark, although they are more expensive as a result.

[@liammcnulty7112]

We get the Aldi ones every time, we have them with charlotte portatoes mashed with butter, and peas for veg, we call it our light dinner every two weeks or so, luvly jubbly, we fry them,then chop them in three.😊

The Herta say 73% pork meat and then list pork fat separately. The Aldi say 75% pork but don’t list pork fat separately. I usually buy the Lidl ones which I think are cheaper? If I haven’t got a hot dog bun I take a slice of white and wrap it around the Frank with some Dijon and Ketchup.

I like my frankfurters, wurst and similar. The best way to have the frankfurters is to score or put little cuts into them and put them on a low heat in the pan frying in my view. PS. It's hard to find this kind of thing in the UK at the moment. The Waitrose unearthed Frankfurters are really good but ridiculously overpriced like many things (though not all) at Waitrose. I recommend Lidl Mini Bockwurst. Good value and about as good. Better than Herta and the like in my opinion.
