I'd just want to find a good tasting dog. Most of them taste weird now. It is mostly because they are made with chicken, turkey, and all other crap meats that do not belong in a classic hot dog - all in the name of "healthy." There are some foods you want to eat 100% BECAUSE of taste, not because they are less bad for you.
As for Ketchup, I can take it or leave it on a dog - but it mostly works with a combination of ketchup, mustard, relish, and chopped (not fried) onions.
Chicken and turkey are often substituted because they're cheaper. But any decent-sized grocery store has traditional pork and beef hot dogs. Aside from that, the main health issues with hot dogs aren't the beef and pork but the copious amounts of salt and preservatives. Hey, I still eat them. But those are the primary health issues, not the meat type itself.
But as with ketchup, what skin is it off your nose if someone else wants to eat a healthier dog? The traditional ones are still trivially easy to find.
If you shouldn't put ketchup on hot dogs, you shouldn't put it on bacon either. Nor on egg yolk burritos nor on lard blintzes. Only put ketchup on stuff that's edible, not on stuff whose main purpose is to give you heart disease.
Under what authority does "The National Hotdog Council" serve? Are they an elected body? It's probably some internet blogger operating out of his living room typing in his underwear.
To me, ketchup on bratwurst would not be tasty. Someone, somewhere, is putting ketchup on their bratwurst right now. I say let 'em. I think the National Hotdog and Sausage Council is being needlessly divisive.
My son will only eat a hot dog if it's boiled, and only puts ketchup on it. But he's a good kid and I love him anyway.
