There are several sausages that share the prefix “Frankfurters” such as Frankfurter Würstchen (which is the hotdog style sausage that Americans have shortened to just “Frankfurter”). In fact it’s not just sausages that have that name, there’s also a cake called “Frankfurter Kranz”.
And why do all these dishes have that name? Because they are specialities believed to have originated from Frankfurt am Main. In other words, they got their name from the city.
This is pretty common to. In the U.K. we have Cornish Pasty, Yorkshire Pudding, English Breakfast, Scottish Breakfast. There’s Eccles Cake, welsh Cake, Bath buns, Chelsea Buns and Bakewell Tarts. You can get Irish Coffee and Irish Stew.
Americans have no shortage of the same too. Like Mississippi Mud Pie.
