Color me ignorant, but why is it so wrong to put ketchup on a hot dog?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Or is it another BS rule made up by the same wet blankets who don't like sugar in their tea?

Seriously, I don't know what is so wrong with having ketchup on your hot dog.

1. Just sounds yucky! But mustard on a hot dog...

:9

[timtom]

2. Nothing is "wrong" with it

if you're ok with committing crimes against nature.

(signed -- mean old mr. mustard)

[redqueen]

3. Cause it's gross?

MUSTARD, man! That's what's meant to be put on a hot dog.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

28. Some "dogs" are just made for ketchup

Nothing like a good currywurst from a street vendor

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currywurst

with loads of ketchup!!!

[GOPisEvil]

4. There's nothing wrong with it.

Tell anyone that gives you crap to buy their own damned hot dog.

Even Lucky Dog in Chicago will serve you ketchup, even though they won't put it on the dog for you. The bottom line is that if you like it, do it. To hell with everyone else.

[redqueen]

6. I bet you have a gas grill.

[GOPisEvil]

8. I have no grill.

I just get a little offended when people tell me what to do with things that I buy with my own money.

I've been known to put ketchup (or catsup - dare I offend!) on a hot dog if the mood strikes me.

Wow - I'm surprisingly fired up about this. :D

[redqueen]

11. Hahahah...

I know what button to push now! ;)



I don't have a grill now either... but I know that gas grills are as wrong as ketchup on a hot dog. :P)

[GOPisEvil]

12. Well, I'm considering a small gas grill.

Hey snobs - ya hear that? :D

[mainegreen]

13. Do it. You can just smoke some hickory on the grill to add flavor.

}(

[GOPisEvil]

14. Or (shock! horrors!!) liquid smoke!

:D

[redqueen]

17. That stuff is vile!

Really... no bias here. It is g'ross.

[GOPisEvil]

27. Yeah, I agree.

I was just being a stinker. :P

[mainegreen]

5. Nothing. It's natural. Best dog IMHO consists of:

1 red snapper dog
steamed white bun
green relish in the bun crack
yellow mustard on one side of the dog
ketchup on the other side of the dog
raw yellow onions liberally sprinkled on top
cover with sour kraut or chili

VIOLA!

[LisaM]

7. Because it's stupid. But in all fairness

it's better than that neon green stuff that was put on a hot dog and handed to me at the Chicago airport last year! WTF?

Hotdogs should have mustard, onions, possibly sauerkraut......no sweet stuff!

[PBS Poll-435]

9. Hickory BBQ Sauce!

[tigereye]

10. seems fine! I like mustard, but to each his own...

[Drum]

15. Heh heh, there's absolutely nothing wrong about it...

[redqueen]

18. ...

:D

[SteppingRazor]

16. There's nothing wrong with Ketchup on a hot dog. There IS something wrong with ketchup on ...

a Chicago dog. That's pure sacrilege, like pissing on an altar.

[Eurobabe]

19. it's ignorant NOT to put ketchup

and mustard on a hot dog. ;)

[devilgrrl]

20. Mustard with sauerkraut tastes way better than ketchup.

Who doesn't know that?

:silly:

[Shakespeare]

21. Because it's blasphemous.

Ketchup is for french fries, mustard is for hot dogs.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

29. Blaspheme this!!!

vinegar is for fries. chili/onions is for hotdogs.

:thumbsup:

[Deja Q]

22. Because Miracle Whip is best used on potato chips?

:9

[TrogL]

23. red wings

yes, I'm being cryptic

[undeterred]

24. Its wrong to put ketchup on anything.

[PBS Poll-435]

25. So you take yours "straight-up?"

:P

[undeterred]

26. I am from the Anti-Condiment League

I don't use nothin' on my meat.

[cemaphonic]

33. yay, another weirdo like me

I like salsa, and some types of chutney - but most condiments, and certainly most of the popular condiments, like ketchup, mayo, relish and mustard make me gag. I'll send back restaurant meals that include them, and I'm not one to hassle restaurant staff at all.

[undeterred]

34. I've been known to cause a riot at McDonalds

by asking for a plain hamburger at noon. They can't handle it.

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. The prefix 'con' is common to 'condiment' and 'contrast'

Dot hogs are reddish; ergo, nothing red should be put on them.









Anybody who mentions that dogawful green or purple Heinz will get a face full of it.

[bigwillq]

31. I put ketchup on a dog.

ketchup, mustard, relish and chopped onions. YUM! :)

[hellbound-liberal]

32. Ketchup on a hot dog is perfectly fine as long as you wrap it in a slice of white Wonder Bread!

Yummo!
