Wouldn't one expect to chien to be more a food staple in Asia then Québec?
Why not call it saucisse de francfort, as that is what it is?
I've heard of French Fries being called Pommes Frites to make it shorter.
The funny thing is it reads more like fried apples. when it is shortened.

I guess their origin is Belgian and not French, but since Belgium is partly
French speaking the name is French. Since they are also called Belgian
Fries why then would be called Frites Belgique in French?

One eats one's chien chaud with patates frites (as opposed to pommes de

Hot dog = chien chaud
Hot dogs were originally called dachshund sausages, but someone
didn't know
how to spell "dachshund" and just called it a dog. "Chien chaud"
sounds very
silly.
