Should people who put ketchup on hot dogs be executed?

[Benfea]

It's a very valid question, I think.

[MsKandice01]

1. Ketchup on hot dogs is just plain WRONG...

[Benfea]

5. Amen! -NT

[barb162]

27. are mustard and pickles okay

[MsKandice01]

31. Yes, both are perfectly acceptable.

[Nicole]

2. No

but if they put mayo on it they should.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. I haven't got a problem with it.

There are plenty of really shitty hotdogs out there where ketchup is an improvement.

[Placebo]

4. Yes.

Without question.

No trial. No jury. Just execution.

And it wouldn't be a pretty or respectable execution either. Not something you can be proud to have in the history books next to your name years later.

No, I'm talkin' death by ketchup overdose. A tube in the shape of a hot dog should be forcibly secured into their mouths and ketchup should be pumped into them at high pressure until they explode or keel over dead!

[TimeChaser]

6. Um... I put ketchup on hotdogs

:hide:

[ZombieNixon]

7. BURN THE WITCH!!!!

:grr:

:P

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

14. I actually do as well sometimes

but sometimes theres chili, cheese, peppers, vidalia dressing, bbq, or mustard involved, you know, whatever.

[Benfea]

19. Die, heretic! -NT

[JohnKleeb]

8. No

people who put mayo on theirs should be though.

[Ekirh]

9. A-FUCKING MEN!!!

Then again I think my Granda's Coolwhip on Lasanga beats all . . but I could be wrong. .

In anycase. . I'm all for the ketchup on the hot dog. . . mmmm

[JohnKleeb]

10. It has to be heinz ketchup with me

Chitown people just mad because the classic hot dog ain't good enough for em.

[Blue-Jay]

20. Wait. Back up.

Coolwhip on lasagna? That's disturbing.

(says the man who puts peanut butter on pancakes... )

[Benfea]

29. Mmm, peanut butter pancakes sound pretty good! -NT

[Deja Q]

11. Ketchup is fine. Hot dogs are an abomination.

They may be shaped like the things we want, but they sure aren't the same... more fattening too. :rofl:

[Xithras]

12. Only. Only onions and saurkraut belong on hotdogs.

n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Of course.

Only strawberry jam should be used, except for bratwurst, and then it's butterscotch sauce with chocolate sprinkles and sliced radishes.

[MsKandice01]

16. LOL...I just spit Sprite all over my monitor

[I Have A Dream]

15. No, I'm pro-choice even where hot dogs are concerned. n/t

[Benfea]

78. Some acts of evil should not be tolerated. -NT

[I Have A Dream]

96. Well, mine are veggie-dogs, so they need all the help they can get!

:)

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Nothing wrong with ketchup on hotdogs. Only on brats is it criminal.

Considering hotdogs are all filler and shit, one needs the ketchup to cover up the taste.

Brats, on the other hand, should get only, at most, a dab of hot mustard - plus the optional onions and sauerkraut.

[sakabatou]

18. Doesn't the "filler" depend on the hot dog

Not all hotodgs are filler, right?

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Local butchers tend to make very good "hotdogs", but those

I call wieners.

Hot dogs I consider to be the things that are made in some far away factory out of animal leftovers and shipped all over the country.

Wieners - the proper hotdog - are made locally; or by one of a few places that make good, homemade, non-chemical shit ones.

The town that my parents were from had a butcher who made, as far as I have ever tasted, the best wieners in the world. Truly, godlike amazing wonderful. Sadly, he retired a couple years ago, and he had no apprentices to take over his trade. Very sad. I would sometimes drive a great many miles out of my way just to stop and get stuff from his place.

[xchrom]

22. it's all about the mustard, baby -- it's all about the mustard.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

23. I beg your pardon...

I put ketchup on my hot dogs along with diced onions. Sorry you don't like the way I eat them, but I won't make you eat them that way. To each his own.
Duckie

[Benfea]

25. Heathen scum!

It's a regional thing. Chicagoans get all hot and bothered about ketchup on hot dogs. Hot dog stands in city limits generally keep ketchup packets behind the counter, hidden from public view so that no one will get angry.

[Gato Moteado]

30. i'd give a guy a serious beating if i saw him put ketchup on a dog...

a hot dog is a vienna red hot or a david berg or a sinai 48 on a maryann poppy seed bun with:

plochmann's mustard
onions
a pickle spear
a couple tomato wedges
some bright green relish that looks like anti-freeze (but you can leave that off if you like)
a coupla sport peppers.....

and DON'T FORGET the celery salt


now that's a dog

[mainegreen]

24. No. And the dogs must be cherry red too.

They must have 'snap'. Not like those brown poo-logs some people call hot dogs. :D

[ikojo]

26. My sister and her three kids all put

ketchup on almost anything, including a hot dog. I would hate to see them tortured.

[barb162]

28. people who put onions on should be executed

for bad breath

[smitty]

32. Ketchup on a hot dog is O.K. if you're a child. But no one

over the age of 13 should do it and go unchallenged. Ketchup on a hot dog is just so wrong on so many levels/

[mzteris]

33. nah - just eating hot dogs

will kill you sooner or later.

Do you know what they put IN those *THINGS*!?!?!

YIKES.

[TheMightyFavog]

45. Don't have to worry about the dogs in a real Chicago-style dog.

See, they use Kosher dogs. In order to pass Rabbinical muster, not only do the factories have to be clean as a whistle, but they can only use certian parts, as well.

[mzteris]

50. parts is parts.......

yech.

:puke:

[Ediacara]

34. Where's the "hotdogs are inedible" option?

[KamaAina]

35. I am adamantly, unalterably opposed to the death penalty,

even for repeat ketchup offenders.

Let them be sentenced to hard labor chopping up onions so that real American hot dog eaters don't have to!

[baldguy]

36. Only one condiment goes on a hot dog

Or a hamburger, for that matter

[deucemagnet]

70. I'm not sure I agree with you on that...

...but I'll bet you know where to get a great dog.



A couple of dogs with everything, best at about 3:00 am after a night of beer drinking.

"Everything" does *not* include ketchup!

[chrisau214]

37. No

But people who eat them, bun and all, with a knife and fork should be put to death immediately. I've only seen this happen once but the whole family did it. They carefully cut up the Hot Dogs with a knife and then ate them using the fork. They also used the fork for their fries.

I couldn't help but think that they were trying to start a Costanza like trend. Fortunately it didn't seem to be catching on with anyone else in the restaurant.

[u4ic]

38. Welcome to DU!

:toast:

I used to know someone who used to eat pizza with a knife and fork, thought that was strange enough. But a hog dog???:crazy:

[TheMightyFavog]

46. You ever have a real chicago-style deep dish?

You need a knife and fork to get through one of those bad boys.

[u4ic]

47. Nope, can't say I have

these were just plain old pizza hut concoctions...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

49. Pizza hut isn't pizza.

[Benfea]

77. And the "sausage" they use isn't sausage.

It's flavored hamburger. *shudder*

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

81. Well, I'm glad I never suffered through that.

Even before giving up meat (except for fish), I was never a big fan, especially of processed meats.

[Benfea]

82. I loooooove a good sausage.

There's a supermarket near me where they make central European (Polish, German, Hungarian, etc.) sausages fresh daily. Then there are the various Italian sausages which are a category unto themselves. I suppose you could argue that hand-made sausages don't count as processed. In that case, I would point out my love of gyros (seasoned, reconstituted beef made to taste like lamb).

Yum!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

83. Yeah, I don't really count hand-made sausage as processed.

Especially, if you know the person making them.

I have had gyros before in the very distant past and I remember liking them. Now I'm all about the falafels.

If you're ever in NYC or New Haven, CT, I recommend Mamoun's Falafel Restaurant. It hardly counts as a restaurant with two tables that you probably have a greater chance of winning the lottery than getting a seat at, but their stuff is awesome. I've been at the one on MacDougall winding up a night of drinking at 5am with the line completely out the door in the dead of winter. Falafel is like $2 and everything on the menu is like $2-4.

[Jamastiene]

39. OH, NO!!!!

I am so dead in this thread. I dislike mustard and relish on my hotdog. Ya'll would really hate me. I only put Texas Pete chili and ketchup on my hotdogs normally. Sometimes, I'll add slaw too.

:scared:

:hide:

[swag]

40. Not worth consideration. But an excellent question.

[njdemocrat106]

41. Nope, I used to put ketchup on my hotdogs...

and if I had no spicy brown mustard or relish, I would still put it on.

[ForrestGump]

42. You'll have to pry my cold, dead fingers from my weiner before

you stop me ketchupping it.

Unless it's got chili and/or cheese or -- and this is only something I tried in the past decade, not being of Noo Yawkish sensibilities -- sauerkraut and whatever.

Onions are evil.

All-beef kosher hot dogs are the only way to go, too.

[jobycom]

44. Thanks. My neighbors hate you.

:rofl: Too damnnnnn funny.

[jobycom]

43. No, just go buy your own hotdog, no need to kill to get someone else's!

[u4ic]

48. People who put ketchup on their hot dogs

should be allowed to live.

People who go around sticking their noses into other people's food... should not. :P

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

51. The only thing I like on my hot dogs is ketchup.

I'm not sure if it's a New England thing, but I like it that way.

[Random_Australian]

52. I prefer tomato sauce, HEATHENS.

[terrya]

53. No - I put ketchup on hot dogs.

I'd prefer not to be executed over that, thank you.

[Benfea]

57. Well of course you don't want to be executed...

...because you're completely evil and you probably want to infect others with your uncivilized ways!

[ProfessorGAC]

54. Not Executed. But Beaten, And More Than Once

The Professor

[AngryAmish]

65. Cut off his hands

So he can no longer open the ketchup packets.

[Phillycat]

73. IAWTC

:thumbsup:

[JackDragna]

55. Death is too good for them.

I think people who put ketchup on dogs should be devoured by lions. Bloody-over-the-top-sugar-and-salt crap shouldn't be put on anything, really. :)

[Ohio Joe]

56. Ketchup, cheese and onions

The only way to eat a dog :)

[derby378]

58. I do it. All the time.

You know what else I do? I take 80% lean ground beef, shape the beef into weiner shapes, and throw 'em on the grill. Then I spread Polish mustard on a hot dog bun, drop the meat into the bun, and I've got a "burger dog." Then I dunk the end of the burger dog in ketchup, crack open a cold soda, and enjoy my weekend.

[Benfea]

59. Vile!

Why are so many hot dog molesters from Texas? Isn't it bad enough that you people produce the worst presidents? Must you heap more abomination upon the world?

[derby378]

63. Hey, don't blame Texas for Nero - blame CONNECTICUT

Fortuntately, they're about to give us Ned Lamont, which is really cool.

[Benfea]

66. Uh-uh. I won't accept that.

Because if I accept that, then I can no longer blame California for Reagan, and I just don't want to go there.

[LSK]

60. are we talking Vienna Beef or mere mortal hotdogs?

:9

[WritingIsMyReligion]

61. Infidel heathen from Maine checking in. EVERYONE uses ketchup here.

:P

[Benfea]

67. You'd better hope Chicago doesn't acquire nukes, then. -NT

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

74. I'm a Mainer who likes ketchup on hot dogs too.

I wasn't sure if that was a Maine thing, but that's how we eat them in my family. I personally don't like other condiments like relish, mustard, sauerkraut...

[Benfea]

79. We really gotta work on acquiring those nukes. -NT

[WritingIsMyReligion]

91. Yeah! Just ketchup and relish, for me!

What is this Chicago process of putting all this crap on hotdogs? :D

[mainegreen]

88. which color though do you prefer?

Red or Brown? That's the really important question!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

92. Red! Gotta love all those chemicals!

:D

[smtpgirl]

62. KETCHUP SUCKS

Hot Dog fixed right, mustard, onions, sweet relish.

Have you ever noticed that when you buy a fast food hamburger, there is ALWAYS SO MUCH KETCHUP ON it that you don't even taste the meat???

[AngryAmish]

64. My girlfriend puts ketchup on her brats

I told her that she was walking home.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

93. "Brat"?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Only a midwesterner would call a hotdog a bratwurst.

:rofl:

:P :P

[RedCloud]

68. Yep. Hang em and then give em a trial.

[Benfea]

75. Preferrably in that order.

It's more than they deserve.

[Zomby Woof]

69. "Nah, this stuff isn't getting to me...

...the shootings, the knifings, the beatings... old ladies being bashed in the head for their social security checks. Nah, that doesn't bother me. But you know what does bother me? You know what makes me really sick to my stomach? It's watching you stuff your face with those hot dogs. Nobody... I mean nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog."

--- Dirty Harry in Sudden Impact.

[HughBeaumont]

71. Yeah, I must not have done my homework on this one . . .

So ketchup on hot dogs is bad . .. why? Is this some sort of regionalistic thing or does the DUL have some sort of ironic ketchup hatred in general?

[Benfea]

76. It's a regional (Chicago) thing.

Hot dog stands in Chicago have to keep their ketchup in packets behind the counter and out of public view to avoid starting a riot. (The ketchup packets are kept on hand solely for the tourists and suburbanites.)

[HughBeaumont]

84. Ahhhhhh . . . that clears it up.

Kind of like down south, it's verboten to put sauce on your ribs whereas up here, it's a given.

For me it's Hot dogs yes. Brats (especially cheese brats), no.

[Benfea]

85. Die, you ketchup-spewing heathen! -NT

[smtpgirl]

89. Why hide the flavor of a great rib with all of that sauce.

That is another thing, I love southern bar-b-q because is has a hotter, less sweet taste AND your meat isn't drowned in it.

I just don't get why some people think that drowning meat like that is delicious, IMO, I'd rather have them dry and add a little or alot of sauce. Kind of like the ketchup hamburgers a fast food restaurants. Would you like some hamburger with your ketchup?

Or Olive Garden salads, hmmm, I think a salad is delicious with a pint of dressing on it, NOT.

[Turbineguy]

72. Only if they

also happen to be neo-cons.

[Joe Fields]

80. People who eat hot dogs are already being tortured enough.

[nickinSTL]

86. what's wrong with ketchup on hot dogs?

I don't much like mustard :shrug:

Honestly, my preference is cheese and sauerkraut, though. :evilgrin:

[Benfea]

87. Only very depraved, immoral people do it.

Of course, if you're eating a "hot dog" made from pig butts in a factory in Kansas, you're not desecrating the dog, you're desecrating the ketchup. :)

[smtpgirl]

90. It's like whats wrong with ketchup on hamburgers, barbeque

sauce on ribs, green peppers and zucchini in food!!!


IT IS ALWAYS TOO MUCH!!!!

Not everyone prefers their food drowned in condiments or drowned out by green peppers & zucchini

[nickinSTL]

98. But...I don't DROWN my food in condiments...

EVER.

I HATE getting stuff from fast food places with the condiments already on, because they DO drown the food. I hate that. I add ketchup (or whatever condiment) sparingly, just to add a little flavor.

[Parrcrow]

94. eating the damned thing is punishment enough!

[Benfea]

97. Not punishment enough by far! -NT

[Kire]

95. I just like seeing people executed

it doesn't matter the reason

[B3Nut]

99. Ketchup all the way!

I can't stand mustard if it's too conspicuous, the smell of it makes me retch. If it's sufficiently buried in something it's fine, like the wierd-but-strangely-tasty mustard+grape jelly mix a friend simmers cocktail wieners in, tastes more like a barbecue sauce than either of the component ingredients.

Otherwise I just want chili and onions on a hot dog. Brats or burgers or steak, gimme ketchup or BBQ sauce.

It's my food, I'll eat it any way I damn well please, tyvm! :D :D :D :D :D

100. It could be argued that anyone who eats one of those things to begin with

should be executed.
