Why aren't hot dog buns more popular in Germany? (lemmy.world)

Sausages are a staple of German street food, and yet most places serve sausages in a round "semmel" bun. But the sausages are long (duh) so they just beg for a longer bun. Why do you think hot-dog-style buns aren't more popular?

There are some valid points in here already, but I'd also like to add that many places offer a wider variety than just a single type of sausage (different sizes, Leberkäse, meatballs...). Instead of having buns for each you just get a normal one. Sometimes you even get sausages and the bun seperately on a small cardboard tray so you can dip them in e.g. mustard.
