What tip of meat is a hot dog?

Hot dogs are typically made from a mixture of mechanically separated meat, which is a finely ground paste made from leftover meat scraps, and other ingredients like spices, flavorings, and fillers.

The specific types of meat used can vary, but pork and beef are the most common.

While hot dogs aren't a specific cut of meat, they are essentially a processed meat product made from ground meat scraps.
