Thread title: The National Hot Dog Council Says Never Use Ketchup On Hot Dogs
Personally I don't believe any group called the "National Hot Dog Council" would want to interfere with anyone's enjoyment of the very product that they exist to promote!
As Americans celebrate National Hot Dog Day today, new National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC) survey data reveals that mustard will be the go-to topping. Although the Council’s rules of etiquette [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T69HDek6a3k] say “no ketchup on a hot dog after the age of 18,” Americans defied the rules, naming ketchup as their second choice – news that has raised the eyebrows of Council leaders.
Ketchup is the ONLY thing I ever put on hot dogs, or ever will put on them. And if the National Hot Dog Council doesn't like it . . . well, they can have my ketchup when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands.
^^^LOL agree with you. We use it all the time, hotdogs, brats, hamburgers, etal. Our preference not some councils.
So no one can really explain "why" other than "because?"
It probably has to do with the hot dog's origins as a sausage invented by the German people; they use mustard. I hardly ever eat hot dogs myself but when I do it's with ketchup!
A subway worker in Orlando was fired after getting into a fight with a customer over ketchup. The man ordered a philly cheesesteak with a bunch of condiments on it including ketchup. This last request offended the subway worker who claimed they do not have ketchup and that he has never put ketch.up on anybody's sandwich.The customer refused to accept his sandwich without ketchup and demanded ketchup be added, which made the subway worker so angry he then shoved a chair aside and told him" let's go fight me like a man" and threatened to kill him.
I find it amusing that there's a "National Hot Dog Council". What do they do other than proclaim what we should or should not put on Hot Dogs? Hold car washes for the Weiner Mobile? Declare exactly how small Hot Dogs should be cut to avoid choking in small children? Make sure a foot long is indeed 12 inches? Sounds like really important work.
