Let's settle this once and for all. Does ketchup belong on a hotdog?

[coachTanthony]

Yes

No

[Rosexøxø]

Doesn’t belong there but can be added. I say this as someone who grew up religiously on ketchup and hotdogs- NO mustard or anything else. The ketchup may as well have been the bread. The ketchup was the blood to the dog’s dog.

BUT I didn’t add ketchup to the hotdogs from the New York portable, and man-operated vendors.

THOSE HOTDOGS 🌭 out of this world… just as good as ballpark hotdogs.

The thing is it drips with juicy. When it has such a unique flavor as that, I think adding ketchup to it, is blasphemy.


Does sacred and holy ketchup belong on a hotdog? No…

Those are two entities that can sometimes find themselves in the same UNIVERSE! but they aren’t required to travel all throughout the human, cosmic mouth, together!


(Yes, I speak in metaphor; no disrespect to any religious people).

[Rosexøxø]

Couldn’t vote lol it’s an option of a condiment.

That’s why all hotdogs aren’t served ritualistically WITH ketchup

or mustard

Just the good old-fashioned dog, that can be served any way.

[purplepoppy]

Only if you drink budd light. Mustard is the meat sauce.

[LovingJo]

Nooo, you need both 😋

[PointTaken]

You could find Grey Poupon ketchup. Lol

[loveslongnails]

Either is ok, Coach, depending what you like!! Look at it like this - the only difference between a brat and a hot dog is how coarsely ground the pork is and how you decide to spice it. Bratwursts came first, of course, originating in Germany, while hot dogs are an American creation, especially the "all beef hot dog".

In the USA, ketchup on a brat is fairly common while mustard is not, and vice-versa on a hot dog. However in Germany, it's not common at all to use condiments on sausage and they're not typically served on a bun! If anything, a mustard of some kind, like grain or Dusseldorf, might accompany a plate of German sausages.

I understand in some communist countries it's not recognized as a normal thing but here in the land of the free and the home of the brave I proudly put ketchup on my hot dog, mostly cuz I'm allergic to mustard, And I don't care who knows it. Could you pass the ketchup please

[DizzyDesii]

On occasion. But if there's chili involved then no

[mobiusforniner]

Agreed

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Cheese is good for chili dogs.

[DizzyDesii]

@PBandJ_Nerd i only like chili and cheese together on nachos

[PBandJ_Nerd]

That works well too. I like beans in my chili though.

[Bethany22]

Absolutely! Why wouldn't it go on a hotdog? Adds lots of extra sugar to the meal.

[coachTanthony]

Some things just don’t belong. Lol

[Paulychicagoluv]

Goodness no. I was hanging out with my buddy at his hot dog cart, mainly Chicago dogs. Guy asked for ketchup on his dog. We both looked at each other with this face of disgust and "what" look.

No, ketchup doesn't belong on a hot dog

[horatiohornblower]

Get Heinz Chili Sauce next to the ketchup. It’s like ketchup but less sweat and more tang. You’ll never want ketchup again. Also the store brand is usually even better. Just don’t confuse it with Thai Chili Sauce.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I personally think it does. While I know mustard is the most popular condiment on a hotdog, I still think ketchup is good if you like a bit sweetness. Especially when it comes to a corndog specifically, full or mini.

[Quackthulu2]

Yes, a proper hot dog contains ketchup, mustard and fresh onions.

[LovingJo]

Yes!! 💯❤️

[PointTaken]

No onions for me.

[Quackthulu2]

@PointTaken getyarn.io/.../e3614da8-771f-4ee1-a531-1ddd0e077a5f

[PointTaken]

Lol. Awesome! Watched that so many times.

[Quackthulu2]

@PointTaken One of the best movies ever made. Shame about Brandon though.

[PointTaken]

I know. He would've done so much. That's one movie I have to get. I heard it was coming back out and a remake is going to be made. The others were not as good.

[NamerOfStars]

If you want it to. It's okay, really. As a (former) Chicagoan, I grant you a dispensation; it's YOUR hot dog, after all.

[sage2021]

The only thingt son likes on his hot dogs is ketchup

[Likes2drive]

No it doesn’t, looks wrong, i’ll never forget that movie with dirty Harry, when guys were being castrated by a woman that was raped and he showed up at the crime scene and this cop was eating a hotdog with ketchup on it, and he said, could you not do that here

[slatyb]

Yes, if it's not sweet. Portland Organic Ketchup is excellent.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Nope… not mine anyways… just mustard hold the ketchup please 😊

[SaoirseS]

No. But if you like ketchup on your Hot Dog, fine by me. Just keep it off of mine.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I don't care whether or not others believe ketchup can go on a hotdog sandwich.

I like ketchup and, to me, it "belongs" on my hotdog sandwich.

[molonski2]

We call it " tomato sauce " and sadly I would never eat a hot dog :)

So , not sure there is a " once and for all " , its individuals call I guess.

[AimeeKyle]

I prefer both ketchup and mustard unless I am having a Chicago style dog.

[jshm2]

We heed to start executing people who eat hotdogs.

Ketchup can, at least, be classed as food for human consumption. Though some versions of it have more calories than some meals!

[PointTaken]

Yes it really does. It drowns out the "what the hell is this" taste.

[midnightmoon05]

Ketchup belongs in trash. Down vote me. I don’t eat most processed foods. If I’m not aware…I prob. ate some. By choice…I avoid.

[Anonymous]

I don't use condiments except for mayo. But when I'm in a city with hotdog stands I'm not going to bother the owner or myself with crying don't put condiments on it.

And I get ketchup then.

[FreyaRed]

Yes. Mustard Ketchup mix makes a hot dog edible. Otherwise it's just a dry bun with tasteless Vienna sausage inside.
