Why aren't hot dog buns more popular in Germany? (self.germany)

Sausages are a staple of German street food, and yet most places serve sausages in a round "semmel" bun. But the sausages are long (duh) so they just beg for a longer bun. Why do you think hot-dog-style buns aren't more popular?

not all hotdog buns are the same. just as not all sausages are the same. a hotdog bun out of other bread is possible if you are willing to admit your method of not getting meat on your hands in inferior to one that was seemingly purpose built.

Unless you have freakishly wide hands or a very drippy sauce you only really need something that works for the whole hand.

i dont know why you would suggest fashioning a bread glove to cover the whole hand is better than a hot dog bun but i support it
