Polish HotDogs - Tarczynski Premium Chicken Fillet Hot Dog Sausages


Cost at time of review: £1.75        Purchased From: TESCO


For me I will always associate a hot dog as being made from pork and for in my experience it is a word associated with a low quality (cheap) product in a tin.  Gradually over time, our UK supermarkets have started to sell much better, premium (or proper) hot dogs not only in jars, but in packets in the chiller section in various different guises.

I first noticed the Tarczynski branded hot dogs in the Polish section one of the chillers when I was shopping in Tesco so I just had to put them in my basket and give them a go.  As with a lot of hot dogs (or frankfurters if you will) they are already cooked so you can either eat them cold or warm them up in boiling water or possibly in the microwave.

If you look closely at the packaging (and use Google Translate) you will see no mention of the word hot dog nor a photo of a hot dog bun, just some sort of dip and salad vegetables (tomato and cucumber).

After taking one bite you will soon realise these are not the poor quality hot dogs you get in a tin for 50p, these are a premium quality, meaty product that tastes equally good cold as they do hot and I'm sure I can taste a hint of smokiness to them.

They are rather small so you will need at least two of them in a hot dog bun if that's your method of eating, else chop them up and have them in a salad - or do what I did, heat two up for a hot dog and whilst waiting for some fried onions to cook, eat a couple cold from the packet!!

It might not look amazing, but it tasted delicious!  Layered on bed of fried onions with Heinz tomato ketchup and then topped with some American style mustard - I think next time I have one I will put a few thin slices of tomato in there too just to enhance the flavour.


A tasty hot dog sausage that deserves a 4 star review, so that's exactly what I will give it.
