I just returned from a trip to Paris and will go on record as saying these are great! I did not find any that had mustard or anything else on them. They were just the dogs, the baguette and the gruyère cheese. I am now trying to find out what type of sausage that is used over there. It is not the same at all.
JR, I think the difference is that in the US hot dogs are usually made from beef, not pork. Here, they are usually labelled "100% pur porc". I have to say, I'm now used to the French ones and both I (and my son) were severely disappointed by the American ones we had on our last trip to Chicago!
Wild garlic is known as "Ail des Bois" in French.

Anything like this reminds me of a local tavern's "Mad Dog". Foot-long hot dog, stuffed with cheese, wrapped with bacon and DEEP-FRIED. Wonderful.
