Let me see, hot sogs: * I am keeping that typo because boiled dogs suck. * Grilled dogs are only marginally better. * Ugh in general. None of the typical condiments for hot dogs besides ketchup are edible. Mustard is gross. Pickles are gross. Here's a packet of mayo, but I'm scared to try that. * Pretty much the only plus hot dogs have is that they aren't eaten as often as burgers, maybe once at a summer BBQ. hamburgers: * all chain burgers, yes even you, In-n-Out, are tired and bland. * Again, pickles and mustard suck, but now we have lettiuce and other things as an option. * Still, the only good burger is a homemade one, and if we're having homemade then there's a million other excellent options to have, so why have a burger? * The ubiquity of the burger has run the idea for me into the ground. It's something that should be enjoyed once on a rare occasion, but people want to go out and have them so often that there's absolutely no appeal in them anymore. Burgers as a whole are tired and old news to me.
I was so perplexed by your statement that I had to research what the hell you were talking about. Context: Chicago local religion dictates that it is unforgivable sin to put ketchup on a hot dog. Punishable by lynch death. Us civilised Californians were unaware of this barbaric tradition. I am a pinko commie liberal who believes in freedom of choice goddammit. What the fuck ELSE am I going to use to mask the horrid hot sog taste? Coming across a hot dog good enough to eat plain happens once a meat-grinding decade. Also I had to absorb a ton of useless hot dog facts before finding this silly fact. Now I know a bunch of pointless hot dog history from malaysia and fish brine. That space in my brain I was saving for important shit like trigometry, and now useless hot dog facts are forcing it out of my head. I hate you. Wait: I get it now. I don't really like hot dogs or hamburgers because I'm mostly asexual.
Ketchup on a hotdog is definitely acceptable, especially in the UK. I mean, ketchup and mustard?! Come on! It's a classic combination!
Ketchup and mustard, either together or by themselves, are both acceptable condiments for hotdogs. Broaden your goddamn horizons, you swine.
No ketchup on hotdogs? Are you out of your mind? Without hotdogs the Ketchup industry would crumble in minutes! They are fucking made for eachother, that's how perfect they go together. I'm still on Team Burger.
Heresey. My horizons when it comes to food is pretty broad. I'll try just about anything. The taste you get with a hot dog and ketchup can be attained by having tomatoes on your dog. Having ketchup and tomato on it is just over doing it... I'm pretty sure the hamburger and french fries department are holding up the torch when it comes to ketchup consumption. I think a more qualifying statement would be "Without kids the Ketchup industry would crumble in minutes!" Kids like ketchup on everything.
Nah, ketchup and fresh tomatoes are two different kinds of tastes. Ketchup is sweeter (and obviously a completely different consistency), which is why it complements mustard's sharp taste so well. The ketchup-on-a-hotdog hate is, in my mind, completely unfounded, unless you just hate ketchup outright. Now with that said, I can fully get behind mustard by itself on a good hotdog. I'm a slut for sour, vinegar-y flavors after all.
Hotdogs are disgusting, so you have to have something to mask the taste. Ketchup is also not the best and in fact makes the hotdog taste worse. The best toppings for a hotdog are green and red peppers, onions, and chili. Burgers are awesome, especially when they're made at home. Use Angus ground beef to shape the pattie to the size and thickness of your own choosing, cook it on a grill or the eye of the stove (alternatively, you can bake it) and season it with salt and pepper, when it is about half way done, add in mixed peppers. To get a real sense of flavor add bits of bacon and cheese into the ground beef before shaping into a pattie. The more jucy, the better. (as long as it's not undercooked). Toast some buns and add butter. Place the burger on the bread and add tomato, onions, the peppers, lettuce, swiss cheese and crushed croutons. You can also add your favorite chips (crushed) chili and or BBQ sauce with onion rings. (Also best when made at home) There's such so much things you can do with burgers. You can have the top bun be white bread and the bottom half be bagel, or whatever combination you fucking want.. Burgers are fucking awesome.
I get it. YOU"RE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE [youtube]MEGke8kzeZM[/youtube] Stop ruining that poor rabbit's day, asshole.
I actually like ketchup. That rabbit had it coming. I actually hate rabbits. Damn garden killing vermin. :yosemitesam:
