Opinions on hotdog and hamburger condiments (Vanity)

FR ^ | 9/19/08 | Domandred

[Domandred]

My wife and I are having an argument. When she makes me a hamburger she insists on putting mayo on it. So we got into an argument over the proper condiments for hamburgers and hotdogs.

She insists on ketchup on her hotdogs. Mayo on her burgers. Mayo on hotdogs.

I believe ketchup has no business being on a dog (should be only some form of mustard) and hamburgers can get ketchup+mustard, but not mayo. Mayo is only for deli type sandwiches.

Opinions please.

A light application of mayo improves the flavor of everything else you put on the hamburger. If you use too much mayo it screws up the flavor.

I don't care for catsup on a hot dog either. I prefer mine with mustard, too damn many onions and a baseball stadium wrapped around it.

” Ketchup on hot dogs (favored by many rug rats) is an indication of a juvenile and unsophisticated palate.”

ALL Japanese people put ketchup on hot dogs .

A Thai friend of mine liked to make his own Sriracha concentrate in his restaurant, which was usually cut 50 percent before it went out to the dining area. His kids were a mischievous bunch and once in a while, they'd bring out the straight stuff for my bowl of rard nah. Steaming !

But ketchup on hamburger, which is usually higher quality, isn’t?

Domandred, I have never learned how to cook fancy meals, operate a washing machine, a clothes dryer, a dishwasher, a toaster oven, or even a carpet vaccumn. Do you know why? Because I married a lady who loves how to cook and is very familiar with using all home type appliances.

If she should ever decide that any of them are too strenuous to use or she would prefer not operating them, I will suggest that she contact a house cleaning service and hire an individual who meets her requirements to assist her because I am not foolish enough to argue over such silly, inane things as her preference for mayo on her hamburgers.

>Have you ever tried Mayo, Mustard and Katsup on a peanut butter sandwich? Onions are optional...<

Peanut butter holds a special spot in my heart and IMO, should never be mixed with anything but the finest jams or jellies.

Have you ever hauled 45,000 pounds of peanut butter? I have and the foreman on the loading dock gave me a case of fresh peanut butter to take home when he learned of my love for it. That man is truly one of the finest people on earth! Mmmmmm Good!

From Dom’s Wife:

Hamburger: Mayo, Mustard, Ketchup (or substitute all for A1)

(Other additions) Cheese, Pickle or Reslish, Lettuce and Tomato

Hot Dog: Mayo, Mustard, Ketchup

(Other additions) Cheese, Onions, Sour Kraut, Relish (not sweet)

Am I wrong? =0)

I have to send jars of Duke's Mayo to all of my family that live all over the world. They always beg me to send more, but the cost of mailing is so expensive and I try to send them 3 or 4 bottles at a time during the holidays, etc. Funny how that one item seems to be a key ingredient in so many dishes for my family.

Mercy please!!!! You’re killin’ me here.

[hoppity]

You just reminded me to go to my favorite spot tomorrow, Carney's. Thanks.

[MarkL]

no, this stuff isn’t getting to me...

The shootings, the knifings, the beatings...

Old ladies being bashed on the head for their social security checks...

Teachers being thrown out of 4th floor windows because they don’t give “A”s...

No, it doesn’t bother me a bit...

Or this job either, having to wade through the scum of this city...

Being swept away by bigger and bigger waves of corruption, apathy, and red tape...

Nah, that doesn’t bother me...

But you know what does bother me?

You know what makes me really sick to my stomach?

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, puts ketchup on a hotdog!

"Hamburger: Mayo, Mustard, Ketchup (or substitute all for A1)"" You forgot some additions:

You start with a little over 1/4 pound of premium meat. After you turn it over, a big slice of pineapple goes on the grill. Brown the sugar in it a little. Toast the bun while that's going on put the cheese on the hamburger. when the cheese is melting, take the bread off. Put ketckup on the ketchup on the bottom of the meat. Put the pineapple slice on top of the cheese. And a slice of a big tomato on top of the pineapple. A thin slice of a big onion on top of the tomato. Some lettuce and mayo on top!

Then eat. And don't complain about feeling fat!

[MarkL]

Oh, that’s wonderful on a chili-cheese dog!

Does your wife have access to knives or other weapons?

If yes, then get used to mayo on your burgers. Say thank you when she serves you a burger slathered with mayo.

Hot dog – all beef (preferably Nathan’s)

Any time I visit my family in NY, I have to eat NY kosher corned beef, and take a trip to Nathans in Yonkers on Central Ave.

I'll admit it... I get the 2 frank special with fries: 1 frank with ketchup and sweet relish. The other with mustard and kraut. And LOTS of ketchup for the fries. There's something special about Nathans ketchup and mustard.

I did not say I had that is what I put on my PBJ, I just asked if y’all had tried it yet. I put butter on both sides and then PB and then Jelly made with my First Wife’s tender loving hands on fresh white bread so it really really sticks to the roof of your mouth washed down with a glass of cold mlk and a Dill Pickle.

B4...you win the prize for the best reply to this thread...

PRB... Did I ever tell you how Mom, Dad and I gigged for frogs during the great war. I will accept Frog Legs fresh or frozen and I Thank you in advance for you usual generosity...

[ThomasThomas]

Mayo did existent until after God cursed the earth.

[tioga]

HELP you wife with dinner, then fix your burger the way you want. why is this a battle?

[Poser]

I like this stuff on hotdogs as well.
