      This should not shame anyone. Hot dogs are wonderful, and ketchup is a fine additive.

      I’ve been known to put baked beans on mine, and potato chips on my burgers (that salty crunch is grand). Having a kid lets you revisit many of these.

          Oh god that nice crunch comment brought be back to me being a kid watching muppet babies at 4am in the morning when my cousin stayed with us at the grandparents.

          I would eat sour cream, plain potato chips, and tomatoes on a kaiser bun. The saltyness from the chips with the tomatoes and then the tang of sour cream

          I have a cherry and rosemary jam that shows that jams can be savory.

          Also, with the idea that ketchup is a jam, what are you putting ketchup on??? Scones? Muffins? Cheese? Peanut butter and ketchup sandwiches?

          It’s tomato, sugar, salt, spices and vinegar. Yes, tomato is technically a fruit… Still wouldn’t eat this as a jam, the fuck?

      You should not have to feel ashamed. Come to Denmark. We have perfected the hotdog.

      The correct toppings are:

      • Ketchup
      • Mustard (preferably dijon, but some like the sweet variant)
      • Remulade
      • Both raw and roasted onions
      • Slices of pickled cucumber

      What’s remulade you ask? It is the slightly tangy/sweet thick sauce that ties the whole thing together.

      What the hell is wrong with hot dogs and what are you supposed to put on them if not ketchup (and mustard)?

        Not a damn thing, but some people think they are kids food unless you put a bunch of shit on top of them. Looking at you Chicago

          Chicago is super weird about their hotdogs. Like they make it a point to loudly brag about how much better they are for not putting ketchup on hotdogs, but then they put huge pieces of peppers, pickles, and tomato which are impossible to chew through so you end up pulling half the condiments off in the first bite. Also like, you know what condiment contains the flavor combo of sweetness of sweet peppers, vinegar of pickles, and tomato? Fuckin ketchup that’s what. I do like the occasional Chicago dog when I visit but they need to chill. Seattle hotdog culture is better: Cream cheese if you want, caramelized onion if you want, and a stack of add-ons nearby to build the thing yourself because IDGAF what you put on it I’m not your mom

          Screw those people. Eat what makes you happy, as long as you’re not doing it to the point of harming your health. Hot dogs with ketchup and mustard are one of the best foods in the world 🌭😁

      It’s like a summer barbecue staple alongside burgers around here, and are sold in tons of fast food joints. Why would it he shameful in any way?
