Don't put ketchup on hot dogs!

[Hugh Jass]

Or just eat whatever you like, much easier world view than telling people that because you live in a certain area you have to eat a certain way.

I'll eat what I want how I want.

I'll stop putting ketchup on hotdogs the day you stop getting "pizza" from national chains.

We don't have a choice about the chains, you do have a choice about the ketchup. :whiste:

 

[PieIsAwesome]

I do what I want.

Also relish is disgusting.

Don't like mustard but I can see how- oh, nevermind that's gross too.

My favorite hot dogs are the Mexicanified ones. Mmmmmm. . .

Being not from Chicagoland, ketchup still isn't put on a hot dog. And neither are pickles, hot peppers or tomatoes.

A proper hot dog is

spicy brown mustard, relish, diced raw onion, sauerkraut
or
chili and diced raw onion
or
spicy brown mustard, NY-style red onion sauce, sauerkraut

what do you think makes that stuff red?

 

[GagHalfrunt]

I make it using tomato paste, not ketchup. And even for the recipes that start with ketchup it's got vinegar and chili powder added so that the end result is not even close to ketchup. Ketchup is a base for many barbecue sauces too. Most people eat their ribs with barbecue sauce, but would not even consider eating them slathered in ketchup.

Do you put ketchup on hot dogs?

How often do you find virgins?

excellent point sir. i do love that ny style red onion sauce on dogs. i do also love chicago style.

No exceptions. Vinegar AND ketchup.

Really? My cousins in BC gave me no end of shit for putting ketchup on fries. Also, any moran that spells it catsup should be drawn and quartered

I usually buy the larger all beef wieners and then butterfly them. I then fry them on a hot cast iron pan until seared.

This way when in the bun, the toppings go in the center and stay put.

Yeah, we'll, that's the left coast. He was probably more upset they weren't certified organic, cruelty free fries. ^_^

Just as nasty as putting corn on pizza. Every pizza I've eaten in Korea and Thailand has had corn on it.

Ketchup is just plain wrong on hotdogs. If I'm going to use ketchup its going to be on french fries.

Don't you know? With regular fries, the first thing they do is gouge their eyes out before flaying them and finally dismembering them. It is a horrible death.

and those people are wrong too

It's okay, scientists are working on genetically modifying potatoes that WANT to be gouged, flayed, dismembered and fried. They'll be disappointed not to be eaten.

This. If a steak needs steak sauce, it's a bad steak. Steak sauces were meant to add moisture and cover up flavor of bad/dry steaks.

Two totally different things. A well cooled steak shouldn't need anything else to make it taste better. A hot dog is made for toppings. You can easily pay $50 for a decent steak, I'm sure no one is paying that for a hot dog.

You just must be young I guess.

Catsup was how many of them were years ago.

But you can't even spell moron right, go figure.

Pretty much says it all right there.

Corn on pizza? Yuck!

 

[Mai72]

Corn on pizza? Yuck!

You can't really taste the corn. I guess they do it because it gives the pizza a little crunch. I've lived in NJ all my life. Pizza is a religion here and when I had my first pizza on Korea, I was flabbergasted that there was corn on it!

Pizza in Korea is really different though.

Though I still am in love with sweet potato on pizza. Good god that shit is good.

Don't hate it until you try it.

Someone somewhere decided that anchovies were a "stock" pizza topping.

I forgot the sweet potato! Yes, they like weird toppings. They also use cherry tomatoes on their cakes. The reason is they treat tomatoes as a fruit.

IMO the sweet potato was too much. I tend to like my pizza with minimal toppings. Maybe pepperoni and/or green peppers. But that's it.

 

[MongGrel]

My wife loves Yams, and we buy cherry tomatoes for various things often.

I just do not see using either that way myself.

I had actually not eaten an anchovie till recently and they were an option at a greek place with the salad I believe, I tried them and I've become a fan of them.

I always liked sardines and things of that nature too though.

My wife is not a big seafood fan, she wouldn't even eat fish at all till I got her to try grouper, then shes worked a bit into other fish over time.

I still doubt she'd let me stick anchovies on a pizza

But yeah it's about hot dogs I'll get back on topic.

There wasn't any of that, but she definitely castigated us on how awesome canuckistan was and how overrated the US was, which was met with a hefty dose of cliched socal apathy
