Ketchup? Really?

For the most part, when I sit down to eat with someone, I don't care what they eat or how they eat it. My sister, Tammy, used to dip her pizza in ketchup. Sure, disgusting, but I didn't care. I have eaten with several people that dip their french fries in ranch dressing. That's fine too (I actually kind of like that one myself). However, the one thing that I can't stand is when someone puts ketchup on their hot dog.

I don't know what it is, but it is just wrong. I think it disrespects the hot dog, and I won't stand for that! If you have to go with a singular condiment for your hot dog, it must always be mustard. There are many, many other acceptable hot dog toppings, just not ketchup. There are onions, chili, cheese, and even sauerkraut, all of which are perfectly fine. I am even willing to listen to other exotic items as possible hot dog toppings. Anything, as long as it isn't ketchup.

I don't have a personal thing against ketchup. In fact, I think ketchup is perfectly acceptable on many other things, just not hot dogs!

I agree ketchup is not for hot dogs. Some people like ketchup on eggs. I think ranch dressing should be the condiment of choice

i do not know about that, ketchup is not my favorite thing on hotdogs, but if you ask conner, jade, or ethan, then you will get another opinion, ketch up is the best thing on hot dogs since the invention of the hot dog bun.

Scott, you have crossed a line with this post. Mustard is gag nasty. I would take ketchup over mustard any day of the week. Now if you were talking about wrapping a pickle and bacon on a hotdog (i.e. mim and did) I would agree with you...but not ketchup.
