Is it true that people in Chicago don't like to put ketchup on their hot dogs? I've run into people from other places who consider it blasphemy to use ketchup. What's the deal? Why does everyone hate ketchup, what makes it worse than other condiments?

>> No.5615937

99.9% of ketchup is just red corn syrup
that's why

The holy trinity of hotdog toppings is ketchup, mustard and relish.

Anything else is wrong and disgusting. However, chili is also acceptable.

Ketchup is a strange thing for me. I hate the smell. I hate the taste... on anything other than fried potato foods items like fries, tater tots, hash browns, etc. Just the way it is for me.

Even your beloved Alton Brown loves ketchup. Deal with it nerds.

This is a good reason.

mostly the reason behind everyone going crazy is because "I LIVE IN THIS PART OF THE USA STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE"

some people are really stupid... anybody can put ketchup or mustard on any food they want, anyone who freaks out is a dumbass.

regular ketchup is just overpoweringly sweet. it's like a tomato sugar punch in the palate. if you really like ketchup then eating it on anything sounds like a good idea; if you really like the rest of the food more than the ketchup then it sounds like a bad one. that's al. a very moderate amount can rape the flavor balance even of a dog with strong shit like onions and mustard. ketchup can overpower kraut. it's the taste obliterator.

Ketchup is considered low-class. Hating ketchup in public thus signals your higher-class status.

A surprising amount of human society can be explained this way.

The traditional Chicago-style hot dog already has tomatoes on it; putting ketchup on one would be redundant.

>> No.5619925

Not only tomatoes, but celery and onions too. All the flavors of ketchup just without the sugar.
