The bun is a long piece of bread with a hole at one end, the hole extending most of the length of the bun. The condiment is squirted into the hole, and then the hot dog is stuffed in, partially extending beyond the bun.

Danes, when eating their hot dogs from a pølsevogn (translated, sausage wagon), often eat their hot dogs on rectangular paper plates with both mustard and ketchup, and with a small hot dog bun-like bread on the side.
