as opposed to putting what on it? relish? grow the fuck up chod

putting only ketchup on a hot dog is the food equivalent of wearing socks with sandals. It might be comfy for you, but you're an idiot.

I think it's ok if ketchup is included with other stuff... like mustard and onions.

>>7636242
If you are buying a fucking hot dog, whether you use ketchup or not is kind of irrelevant. When you pick hot dog over a brat or other better sausage you told us all we need to know

>>7636244

That's a dodge for an answer. The question stands. Does stuff like ketchup on a hotdog bother you?

I don't care. Should I?

Doesn't trigger me, but I do wonder why grown people still haven't learned to enjoy other flavours than sugar and salt. Have some ketchup, sure, but have some mustard as well.

Welcome to /ck/. Welcome to 4chan. Welcome to the internet in general.

ketchup is a staple of hot dog condiments

you are wrong to disparage those who enjoy it

>>7636242
I'd only be mad if it was a Chicago-style hot dog; those sure as hell don't need ketchup. But otherwise, hey, it's their funeral.

Usually I use meat hot sauce and onions or maybe meat hot sauce and mustard and other times I simply want just ketchup on it. I think they are all good in their own ways. Just like other stuff on them as well. Nobody in the real world actually cares and if they do, maybe they should get off the internet for a while. I would love to see someone sperg out in a public place at someone using ketchup. If that is what matters in their life, they have severe issues.

Is your hotdog on the floor

>>7636242
yes

Only mustard on hotdogs, no ketchup faggot

>>7637559
not everyone uses $2 plastic cutting boards from dollar general

>>7636242
why would i care if other people enjoy their $2 meaty foodstuff differently than i do

>>7636242
m8, why would I care what somebody puts on their cheaparse cylinder of lips and arseholes

I don't get why people think putting mustard on a hotdog is so much better than putting ketchup on it. Is it just tradition? What's the logic here?

>>7637698
>Is it just tradition?
Yeah, mustard is traditional in Germany where these things originated.

>>7636242
shitty meat in a bun needs to have flavour added to it. boiled meat like this is devoid of flavour

i like tomato sauce (ketchup), mild mustard, caramelized onions and cheese

I use mayo, ketchup, and sweet relish

>>7636242
I don't give a fuck what other people do, but I'm not above casually judging them. To me putting ketchup on a hot dog makes you look like a six year old. I see it in the same vein as an adult eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, making Kraft dinner when you're not feeding kids or drinking milk. It's a unique mix of infantile, outdated and low rent American taste. I would not necessarily look down on such a person, but I sure as fuck would not trust them to recommend a restaurant, because they have poor taste.

>>7636242
I literally couldn't care, as I am not a whiny fucking bitch from a city in the northern United States which has culinary delusions of grandeur.

>>7637736
What's your reasoning for thinking they're worse? Why is mustard "right" but ketchup is "wrong"?

>>7637613
Why is your hot dog on a cutting board?

>>7637742
It's not right or wrong. It's opting to flavor a bit of cured meat with something sweet instead of something pungent. Both work. But choosing sweet tells something about the character of the person. Sweet is what a six year old would choose 100% of the time. It's a simple choice. It tastes good, like Kraft dinner or cheap pizza. But there's no nuance. Pungent is more of an acquired taste. The person who chooses mustard (even better with sauerkraut) has moved beyond the childlike "sweet - good 100% of the time" mentality and is excited about flavors beyond that. I'd be more inclined to trust the person who chooses pungent when it comes to opinions about food. Because at the very least their preference is beyond that of a six year old.

The person I'd be most inclined to trust when it came to food opinions would be whoever enthuses about the hot dogs in Denmark or salchichas torta sandwiches when the topic of hot dogs comes up. That person will have a more interesting view of things than the person who opts for ketchup.

What kind of cheese do you put on your hot dog, /ck/?

chef john from food wishes puts ketchup on his dogs and he is a revered chef so I think it is alright to do so

>>7636242
DELETE THIS

Whenever I see someone put ketchup on a hot dog I screech as loud as I can and pummel my head with alternating hands until my handler puts me in the timeout seat

>>7637736
What the fuck is wrong with peanut butter and jelly

>>7638172
Not a thing. But given the world of possibilities for sandwiches out there an adult who would regularly choose pb+j would not be someone whose opinions about food I'd put much stock in.

>>7636255
I wear socks with sandals all the time just to fuck with autists like you.
Honestly it doesn't look near as bad as it's made out to be as long as you don't wear white sport socks. At least I wear clothes that fit, make zero anime or vidya references, and am not fat. Overall I think I'm batting above par.

>>7638183
So anytime I'm hungry I should make a turkey arugula sandwich with Gruyere cheese fresh from France with bread freshly baked from the neighborhood baker?

>>7638214

Surely you realize that there are other options between PBJ and your carefully constructed hyperbole.

>>7636242
What else would you put on a dog?

>>7638221
Oh sure, but god forbid I ever offend the great taste of such people with my pitiful Peter Pan and welch' sandwich.

And don't call me shirley

>>7638214
My point was about people whose opinions about food I'd be more likely to trust. The guy who puts ketchup on his hot dogs or regularly goes for a pb+j fits that bill, showing juvenile taste.

The turkey sandwich just shows no imagination. It's choosing the default. So I probably wouldn't pay much attention to that guy, either.

>>7638231
>my pitiful Peter Pan and welch' sandwich.
well put

>hurr ketchup on a hot dog is gross

can we will kill this meme already?
ketchup was meant to go on a hot dog
perfect combination

>>7638285
>perfect combination
if you're six years old

>>7638290
that's rude and its no way to talk to an old lady

>>7638293
There are plenty of old ladies who have the taste of six year olds. My mother in law in Wisconsin is an example. Calls anything beyond the plainest, blandest possible foods "icky".

>>7638221
Perhaps you could clarify where you personally feel the cutoff is for a valid sandwich is, in your opinion?

>>7638299
>Wisconsin
There's the problem.

Hotdogs are a pork product, and pork products pair really well with both savory and sweets. Ketchup compliments it really well due to the savory of the vinegar, and the sweetness of the sugars (mimicking a gastrique but vegetable based instead of fruit) making it an ideal condiment for a hotdog. So next time someone tells you ketchup doesn't belong on a hotdog, just you know that idea of purism is based in ignorance and not in proper culinary pairing.

>>7638328
All sandwiches are valid. But I wouldn't trust the opinions about food of a person who regularly eats sandwiches no different from something you'd make for a fussy six year old. Because that's someone who doesn't give a fuck about food.

You get a hotdog bun, you use a butter knife and spread a light serving of Mayo. You place the hot dog on it. Ketchup on 1 side. Mustard on the other. Optional onions and/or pickle relish on top.

The best way to eat a hot dog is to just have meat and bread and you dip it in sauce.

>>7638347
Of course ketchup works on a hot dog. But the kind of person who would choose it over mustard has infantile taste.
