While I know that your tomato sauce is like our ketchup, I've always
pictured it like our tomato sauce (just a sauce of tomatoes packed in a
can). I'm glad I saw the bottle! :-)

Curious... Do you always eat sausages and hot dogs or weiners rolled in

Sausages are *always* rolled in bread. It's very Kiwi (and possibly
very Oz too). Fundraisers set up barbecues outside supermarkets
selling sausages in bread with tomato sauce, often including fried
onions.
I deliberately included the ubiquitous bottle of Wattie's tomato sauce
in the photo. That's also a Kiwi icon. It's a redder colour than Heinz
ketchup (which I sometimes buy) and a different flavour.
Hot dogs come in three styles. There are the hotdogs at fish and chip
shops, which are battered saveloys; the hot dog on a stick you get at
fairs, again battered; and the American hotdog, which is like the one
in your photo. I actually had an American hot dog for lunch today
while waiting for my train home after a dentist appointment in town. I
had it with onions, mild chilli sauce and mustard.
We seem to have a wide variety of "hot dogs" or weiners, those with skin
and skinless, made with various meats, probably the most common being
either all beef or a mixture of beef, pork, and chicken. There are also
turkey hot dogs and some hotdogs that have cheese inside. There are more
that I can't think of.
The only battered ones I know of here are "corn dogs", with a cornbread
type batter. Those are available in many places.
Me, I actually prefer some sort of sausage over any type of hot dog. I
like the texture better and I like that most of them are in casings.
