Hot dog and ketchup? Aren’t ketchup and mustard like, the standard condiments on a hot dog?
i’m convinced this ketchup and hot dog hate is some ironic thing USians started dreaming up five years ago. what else can you put ketchup on but a hot dog? it’s like one of two possible uses for ketchup, besides dipping fries in.
nooo don’t put the hot dog condiment on a hot dog that’s weeeeird
Yeah like hot dog, burger, and fries are like the only things ketchup is even used for
I know people who put it on pizza, i do not condone it, but it’s somewhat popular even
I know someone who puts some on one slice then puts another slice on top like a pizza slice sandwich with ketchup in between.
Weird.
After looking into it a bit, apparently people in Chicago think ketchup is a child’s hotdog condiment?
Bro hotdogs are a child’s food the fuck are you saying. “Oh god barbecue sauce is such a childish condiment to have with your dinosaur chicken nuggets”
actually you’re supposed to dip your smiley fries in tartar sauce or truffle mayo

I remember seeing discourse around Mustard being deemed the official hot dog condiment.
I believe that could play into this. That said, as a ketchup hater I support their motion.
In my mind the standard hotdog isn’t just one or the other, it’s both.
Like if you asked me out of nowhere to draw a hotdog it would include both ketchup and mustard
And I don’t say this as a defense, I hate ketchup and I’m not really a fan of hotdogs in general
I recall seeing a lot of toys in my childhood with both condiments also.
I also recall being asked “ketchup? Mustard?” when getting a hot dog at barbeques.
I agree it’s the standard, but I’ll always playfully respond “are you sure you dont want Sriracha?” when asked for ketchup
I mean if you asked me that I would definitely unironically say ‘sure’ and probably miss the whole point of the joke you were trying to make.

Hot dog and ketchup is weird then I don’t want to be normal
“Hot dog and ketchup? What’s wrong with hot dogs with ketchup? I like hot dogs with ketchup! …Hey, that fellow’s talkin’ about me!”
“And that makes a difference, doesn’t it?”
Fuck, didn’t know we has these emojis
We don’t, they’re just pictures I uploaded
post high-res versions of these to c/emoji pronto!
I already did months ago but they didn’t get added
It’s weird if you’re a Chicagoan
Hot dogs traditionally should be served with like onions, relish, tomato slices, pickles, etc. They are depression-era food where you take the cheapest processed meat sausage and then pile it with cheap garden vegetables and canned goods.
Eating the hotdog with only ketchup is just covering your cheap processed meat tube with high fructose corn syrup.
when you put it that way
It’s a conspiracy to make something as normal as jam on toast seem unnatural
jam on toast? preposterous. in cincinnati, where toast was invented by Coriolanus Toast III, it is customary to have navy beans, hubbard squash, and chili oil on toast. in fact, if you go to the community theater and get jam on your toast, the MC will squirt you with lemon juice and paddle your bottom with a bible.
Jam is a dessert food. It doesn’t belong as a central part of a meal.
Yet Americans will eat it with sweetened peanut butter and sweetened bread and call the resulting creation, whether in its squishiness or its sogginess, a full meal.
The “ketchup on hot dogs is wrong” thing seems mostly unique to USAmericans
It makes no sense to me because I’m an older U.S. millennial and growing up you put three things on yer dog: ketchup, mustard, and relish.
Where’s the onions, chili beans and cheese you filthy animal?
I actually don’t like cheese on a glizzy.
can’t believe you betray sonic the hedgehog like this
As a fellow millennial growing up only the stinky kids put ketchup on their hotdogs.
Maybe I was a stinky kid, ever think about that hot shot?
I don’t like ketchup and bread together unless there’s another condiment there. Just mustard dog, hell fucking yes, mustard rules, plain relish dog, okay, cool thats fine. Plain ketchipdog I won’t even eat. It needs a friend.
I agree with this.
I’m not wrong, it’s the westoids who are wrong.
it’s a Chicago and New York thing pretty exclusively to think ketchup on a hotdog is weird. but lots of media comes from those places, so it gets conflated with “all the sophisticated people on the continent feel this way”.
Imagine believing anything about a hot dog could be considered sophisticated. Like eat the left over meat chunks we crammed into a meat tube and dump like 15 dollars of condiments and vegetable toppings, but don’t use the wrong one or else it’ll become gauche!
It seems to be extremely recent, too.
I eat my vegan dogs sans ketchup. I would never do that! Back in high school, my 10th grade history teacher said that ketchup on hot dogs is an abomination, and I totally agree with him.
Mustard, relish, onions? Absolutely. Maybe a simple vegan chili and cashew cheese if I’m feeling to load it up too.
I feel like the apple pie one has got to be one of those engagement bait things.
I’ve heard of the other three, but surely that’s not actually a thing.deleted by creator
white people why do you do this to meIt’s nice. I’m sorry I like it.
What cheese do you use?
personally i like it with a sharp cheddar. nice complement to the sweentness of the pie
A good cheddar works fine, but stronger cheeses like camembert or even blue cheeses like gorgonzola with well too. Sharp apples and stinky cheese is a great combo
It’s a boomer thing.
It’s an Ed Gein thing
It’s a Wisconsin thing
I’ve never had it with the pie, but go ahead and try some nice sharp cheddar with some slices of apple. When I first tried it I couldn’t believe it actually tasted quite nice.
Whenever I heard about apple pie with cheese, my brain always pictured cream cheese or ricotta/mascarpone or whatever. People are really out here melting cheddar over their apple pies?!
yes, the sharper the better, or so I’m told
I didn’t care for it the one time I tried it, seemed like a waste of two things that would be better separate
This is how I feel about pineapple on pizza. It’s okay but id prefer pizza with a side of pineapple
IMO it’s much better if you don’t melt the cheese. A slice of very sharp cheddar beside your pie of good as hell though.
I will die on the hot dog hill of eating a glizzy with ketchup.
one of the many ways you remind me of my little brother
edit: “little” - he’s <2 years younger than me and hasn’t been smaller than me since kindergarten, but ykwim
one of the many ways you remind me of my little brother
lol really? Sorry I meant to respond to this earlier but I forgot.
It’s true, there’s just something about your vibe and sense of humor that reminds me of him.
He is genuinely the best person I know, so please take this as the compliment it’s intended to be. He is the funniest person I know, but of course our senses of humor overlap a lot because we grew up together. So he’s great fun, but he’s also incredibly compassionate and loyal, brilliant, gentle, dedicated, and wise. He is kind, generous, devoted, and forgiving to a fault; I have seen him drop everything to help a friend of a friend, to his own detriment, repeatedly.
Obviously I don’t know you as a person like I know him, just want to make sure the “little brother” thing came across in the positive manner I meant and not somehow demeaning or disparaging.
And he fucking loves ketchup. 😂 That’s all he ever puts on hotdogs. He used to eat ketchup toast and ketchup & cheese sandwiches when we were little! 🤢😂
Sounds like a great guy!
Where in the US is it abnormal to have ketchup on hot dogs? This is completely standard where I live. Like if you order a hot dog and don’t specify anything else, you will get ketchup on it.
In fact, if you go to a Chicago White Sox baseball game and you ask for ketchup on. your dog, they ring a Bell of Shame
Chicago and New York pride themselves on hating ketchup
Chicago will serve you a salad on your dog and New York will give you onion relish
Yeah ketchup and mustard are the default condiments on a hot dog idk what this is

I’ll eat all these in one full-course meal
The coastal elites will never understand our Midwestern appreciation for ranch on everything
Also Alaskans. For some reason.
Hardest part about going vegan in the Midwest.
All of these are actually good and mostly rely on combining sweet and savory flavors to different degrees. Three of them are also foods that are associated with being poor and déclassé.
Personally never really been into ranch on pizza or in general, but I begrudgingly respect that it works.
The one I’ll really stick up for is apple (or other sweet fruit filling) pie with cheese. It’s really tight to have something like a swiss to cut the sweetness and round out the flavor profile there.
Another thing that is really good is chocolate and cheese, especially with a nice fruit. One time I got served a “wedding proposal” which was dark chocolate, apricot, and monchago.
Milkshake & fries is so good though
You’ll have to pry my hotdog and ketchup from my cold, dead butthole
I prefer those Buns warm tho
Ranch belongs on nothing, it belongs in the trash.
hell yeah, trash ranch is the best.
/pulls out spoonI once did a spicy food challenge after which they brought me ranch to cool my mouth. I chose to continue burning than to suck down that leaf-filled buttermilk cum
Ranch belongs on garlic breab
I hate tf out of ranch, fuck ranch truly. Nasty ass dressing
ready to use ranch is a blasphemy. Fresh, scratch made ranch is from the gods.
Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze
People: have you tried this cheese with a Ritz cracker and some fig jam? It’s so wonderful and high class
Also people: CHEESE ON AN APPLE PIE? YOU DONUT
ranch on pizza can go because growing up, I used to get joked on because I thought it was DISGUSTING and all my cracker ass friends would be like “no you just haven’t had it with the right ranch it has to be a HOUSE ranch” (wtf do you mean by ‘house ranch’ Steve, literally every restaurant is probably using the same goddamn hidden valley packets or whatever)
they’d order breadsticks with ranch??? no dip them in fucking marinara or spaghetti sauce, not fucking ranch what is wrong with you
Dude, nah, restaurant ranch hits different. It’s not just some Hidden Valley powder, there’s a recipe for that shit, and you know when it’s done right. Totally different flavor profile, Ken’s is the closest I’ve tasted a store brand get.
I’ve been the bitch back there makin’ sauces. You gotta get your mix down to a fuckin’ science, and you best be usin’ buttermilk for that shit.
I hate ranch, but will say that good restaurant ranch is way better. It’s made with fresh buttermilk pretty much always, and many restaurants will add fresh herbs to it.
I work in a Midwestern fast food restaurant RN and see people order ranch with anything. Corn dogs, mozzarella sticks, fries, I swear to god white midwesterners will put it on fucking anything.
The only good ranch is no ranch
I’m not a ranch fan but restaurant ranch is different. It’s often made in house and since it doesn’t have to be shelf stable as long so they can use different ingredients
On pizza is still insane no matter the quality of the ranch
