Slug and Lettuce launch World Cup Hot Dogs

Based on six national teams taking part, the hot dogs will be available from when the tournament kicks off on 12 June through to the final on 13 July.

Supporters can tuck into the Brazilian inspired salsa dog, which offers tomato and chili salsa, chopped coriander and a wedge of lime or the English bull dog, which offers the traditional flavours of grated cheese and red onion.

Italy fans can enjoy the dog father, which combines the tomato marinara sauce with mozzarella and pesto whilst the German inspired Deutsch hound brings together fresh yellow mustard and a large gherkin.

The Australian dog down under turns up the heat with a touch of sweet chili sauce and chunky king prawns whereas the American offering the new yorkie pairs the hot dog with pulled pork, spicy tabasco sauce, French yellow mustard and BBQ sauce.

Food development manager at the Slug & Lettuce Simon Blunt said: “Customers can feast their eyes on the game with a World Cup hot dog firmly in one hand a cold beer in the other - the on-trend handheld food is ideal for the World Cup season.”
