Is putting ketchup on a hot dog un-American? (laws, city, Memphis)

[wanderlust76]

Barbecue sauce, steak sauce, hot sauce, tartar sauce, etc. are all far superior condiments and there's way more varieties of them. I would rather put Heinz 57 on a hot dog than ketchup.

I've hardly used ketchup at all in years and don't even have any at home. Ketchup is the bologna of the condiment world even spicy brown mustard ranks higher. For fries I would rather use tartar sauce to be honest. Ketchup is ok for onion rings but I struggle to think of anything else beyond that.

Mrs. Renfros green salsa with a little melted cheese can really add some nice flavor and kick to an otherwise plain dog.

Actually, yeah, some of them can.

It's OT, but here's a tasty way to fix cheap hot dogs:

I haven't tried this with sausage yet, but I want to. I love Clara.

Funny enough, ketchup is used as the base for a lot of BBQ sauces. As for other uses, it's a great base for sweet sour sauce, add peppers, pineapple, ginger, brown sugar and vinegar. Banana ketchup for lumpiang. Curry ketchup is even better on onion rings, imo. Meatloaf. Use ketchup with the juice of 1 onion, some white pepper and oil for Catalina Dressing. There's tons more.

The humble ketchup goes a long way.

Boar's Head, natural casing dogs run a little over a dollar a piece, but well worth it, imo. Love the satisfying snap.

We like the cheap-o ones for Salchipapas and Pique a lo macho.

I will have to look for these. Boar's Head is good stuff.

I mean really people~It's just a matter of choice, and it is a free country, at least last I heard....
Next, we will have civil war break out on City Data (in the politics thread!) about which is better Mayo or Miracle Whip!

I've been making my own barbecue sauce lately, and it does have some ketchup in it, but LOTS of other stuff. Far superior to anything in a bottle. As far as ketchup, on a hot dog, I don't think I've ever tried it! Sounds un-American.
