Hot dogs should not have Ketchup on them

Saying you hate mustard is like saying you hate salsa. Mustard belongs to a small group of plants that grow wild over much of the planet so, almost every culture uses it. Oddly enough, although it grows wild from the border to Oaxaca, Mexico eats very little mustard.

Even as a condiment, there are hundreds of different kinds ranging from sweet chutneys to whole grain aged varieties. At my house, the yellow prepared kind is used only for cooking.
 
I like them in all forms, but when I'm lazy at home I use mayo + ketchup. Normally that's with lower quality dogs. Higher quality I like some good mustard, onion and relish.
 
I grew up and spent many years of my life agreeing with the OP.
Now I that I have tried ketchup on a hot dog, I think the OP sucks.
 
I'm sorry, the tube of random, miscellaneous meats on my bun deserves better than ketchup, how silly of me.

Dam, between all these hot dog threads, I now need a dog with ketchup and onions. I'm putting in a order with the wife for dinner tonight.
 
Screw you.

Ketchup is awesome. Haters should renounce hot dogs.
Especially all of you damn Chicagoans - or whatever the hell you bastards call yourselves - who pile tons of crappy condiments on your hotdogs but deign to put a little ketchup on a frankfurter because it "ruins the taste".

Judicious use of ketchup enhances the flavor of a good hot dog, it doesn't drown out the flavor (unlike piling a ton of crap on your dog).

/waits for someone to post the retarded "ketchup is for kids" argument

"Deign" doesn't quite mean what you think it does, which is par for the course for a ketchup slurper. 😉

People with taste (no pun intended) don't put ANY ketchup on their animal offal tube steaks, otherwise known as the "penors of the plate", because it does indeed ruin the taste! :awe:
 
Ketchup makes my hot dog too sugary....then again I don't eat much ketchup anymore. I highly prefer mustard + hot sauce as my main condiments.

Forsaking your superior upbringing and exquisite cultural heritage for the menses-tinged condiment of cro-magnons? 😱

I aver that it is you who suck good sir! In fact, it is well known that you will swallow anything! :awe:
 
Hot dogs should have whatever the hell you want on them, including ketchup. Hmm, what else will the snobs lose sleep over? Maybe cheese? I haven't tried a hot dog with cheese, but already I see a variety of different ways of preparing a hot dog with cheese that could be interesting. May add onion AND cheese, and grill it. Yum. Hmm, but what type of cheese? Maybe some mozarella, maybe some queso fresco?

Oh, except pickle relish. Pickle relish doesn't belong on anything because its disgusting. I remember the first time I tried it, what a surprise that was. "Oh, this looks like a tasty salsa, maybe I will try i- OMG WTF DID I JUST EAT?!" *gag*
An abomination.
 
You are also right. Mustard, pickle relish, onions, chili and maybe some other items depending on where you are and how they serve them but never ketchup. Ketchup is for fries and is OK on a burger but not mandatory.

This absolutely!!
 
I always put ketchup on, and onions, and other shiet... mmmmm.

If I put chili on it, then no ketchup, that's odd.

Mustard is nasty.
 
Hmm chili dogs 😀
