Plsevogn, literally sausage wagons, are hotdog stands that sell Danish-style hotdogs and sausages as popular street snacks. A century ago, on 18 January 1921, the first Danish hot dog stand started selling their sausages on the streets of Copenhagen. Over a hundred years later, the classic Danish hotdog combined with fried and raw onions, thinly sliced pickles and special sauces is still widely enjoyed in Denmark.
