ABSTRACT:
A hot dog or other elongated food product having generally longitudinal slits extending along the entire length of the hot dog. The slits are preferably spaced around the circumference and extend radially from the outer surface toward, but not completely to, the center of the hot dog, thereby forming elongated segments, each having a cross section in the shape of a sector of a circle truncated at its apex. The unslit central core comprises a common link between the truncated sector shaped segments, which initially holds the segments in a generally unitized hot dog-shaped construction, any section of which readily fragments into small sized segments when severed from the whole by a bite which extends through the central core.
