I've been visiting the U.S. once or twice per year since 1976, and I've eaten a lot of local favourites, 5 alarm chilli in Texas and Oklahoma, fried green tomatoes in Dixie, grits too, I love grits, Philly cheese steak, anywhere, not just the city of brotherly love.
Key lime pie in Florida, pizza in New York, and Chicago, both good, couldn't pick a winner, gumbo and po' boys in Louisiana, Buckeye peanut butter balls in Ohio, but I'm not a lover of hot dogs, I tried one in Yankee Stadium, I think I had dill pickle and diced onions on it, I don't like ketchup or mustard.
The pickle and onions were great, I didn't like the actual dog, processed franks are an acquired taste, and I never acquired it.
So put ketchup on or not, leave me out, and give me a burger, or gator bits instead.
"Crap meats"you say? you any idea of what goes into a hotdog? Basically, the stuff they scrape from the slaughterhouse floor.
I love hot dogs! Grilled with spicy horse radish mustard, or with Coney Island onions, or with fresh chopped onion,tomatoes, dill pickles and celery salt, or chili, or sauerkraut and mustard. And many other toppings.
You like ketchup? Don't let the "Hot Dog Council" stop you. But do know what goes into your average hot dog.
The National Hot Dog Council says that the official word is "ketchup" and that anyone who spells it "catsup" is officially barred from eating hot dogs until compliance is achieved.
I like ketchup on my hot dog. It is my hot dog so I prepare it the way I like to eat it. I don't really care what anybody else thinks about it. I didn't know there was a "hot dog council" or whatever and don't really give a rip but anyway, the whole point of putting condiments on a hot dog is to cover up the fact that it is a bunch of little pieces of lips, peckers and a$$holes leftover from food processing that are made into a tube and sold.
Again this is for COMPETITION, it's not a real guideline to follow if you aren't in a hot dog prep competition. If you are at a stadium, multi-touch arena, restaurant, movie theater or home and want to put Ketchup, catsup, catsoup or catchup on your dog, nobody is gonna complain with you...
The National Hamburger Council says never use hot dogs.
