Hot Dogs -- The Great Debate I Never Knew About

Pages

Apparently, there are a number of mindless heathens with addled and torpid processes of thought who posit the salacious idea that ketchup (or catsup) should not go on a hot dog. Rarely do I advocate the rounding up of civilians without habus corpus, but I am willing to make an exception for these food terrorists.

The way of the one true mustard is the only thing that should adorn a hot-dog.

Go ahead, check: it's in the Bible.

I'm sorry, but I must reject out of hand the opinions of someone who spells "hot dog" with a hyphen. You may now imagine my palm outstretched, at arm's length, in your direction.

In honor of hot dogs in general:

Also, Elysium is right. While ketchup is never allowed on sausages or wurst, hot dogs are fair game.

The only time ketchup should not go on a hot dog is when you are slathering it with sauerkraut.

All kinds of things can go on a hot dog. Chili, tobasco sauce, salsa- whatever you want. There are a ton of different styles of mustard, too. Ketchup isn't the number one choice because it's kind of like drinking bud light, but it's a valid option. Otherwise why would hot dog vendors in NYC have ketchup as an option? Those guys sell dogs in a city that was built on the hot dog.

Show your wealth and blast ketchup AND mustard on your hotdog. It's the American way of life, baby!

Canadian too! Or up the ante with a whistle dog!

The only thing that's morally objectionable on a hot dog is nothing.

Anything is fair game, from ketchup and mustard, to curry, pesto or marmalade.

I put ketchup on a hot dog.

I can't stand mustard. Of course, I can't remember the last time I actually ate a hot dog.

This is why we had to fight a war with you lot. Hot dog independence! Marmalade is RIGHT OUT!

Crazy hot dog elitists.

If you like ketchup, then put ketchup on there.

It's like when you're in a fancy steak place and you hear the waiter gasp when you ask for some A1.

I find it pretty humorous that anyone can get snooty about what goes on a hot dog. It's a hot dog, people. It's like the Barbie Horse Adventures of fast food. They're just lips and assholes.

Well, a Chicago dog will never have ketchup on it.

The Chicago dog is the top tier of hot dogs.

If you wish it have a lower form of hot dog go ahead and put ketchup on it.

I'm very particularly about what goes on my lips and assholes, thank you very much.

Ketchup is the minimum acceptable condiment for a proper hot dog. From there the more stuff you can pile on the better. Mustard, mayo, cheese, bacon bits (actual bacon only please), onions, plus enough chilly & coleslaw to qualify as a meal in its own right...

... excuse me, I seem to be drooling on my laptop.

Chili and onions. Maybe add some slaw. That's it.

Keep your sugared tomatoe paste away from my glorious, hand crafted, naturally cased, links of pure happiness. Slather that slop on whatever dog food reject byproduct that may have found itself in your Ball Park. A proper hot dog is adorned with kraut, onions, Hebrew National mustard. A red hot should be on a sesame bun with the above and relish, and tomatoes(not ketchup).

The one and only true hot dog!

At the risk of incurring the wrath of you all, hot dogs are best chopped up and mixed in with mac and cheese... or ramen noodles.

meh - double-post

True, it's kind of like arguing whether early Britney Spears is better than later Britney Spears. But, dammit- STOP MAKING FUN OF BRITNEY!!

Yellow mustard, spicy dill pickle relish. Good enough for me.

So which Barbie Horse Adventures game was the best? Riding Camp or Wild Horse Rescue?

Or beans.

God bless chili cheese dogs with mac&cheese on top. Also, bacon.

Or with a fried egg over rice.

No, it's a salad that just happens to have a hot dog as an ingredient. Hot dogs are a junk food and as such are best with chili and cheese.

Yeah, not from what I've heard...
