Wouldn't that be just a sausage? A hot dog also has bread.
I believe you're thinking of a hotdog bun. Different thing.
They're a natural pairing and often found together, like when we say "would you like an ice-cream?" The ice cream cone is implied.
Ah I see. I guess it's a language/cultural thing.
Here hot dog refers to the combination of the sausage with the bun. E.g. you can use the bun for making a sandwich instead and the sausage (usually a Wiener Würstchen or Frankfurter Würstchen) in a soup or together with potatoes, or in other meals.
Where I live, they would ask "cone or cup?" for the ice cream.
