Hot Dog V Bratwurst

[Louis VI the Fat]

Kielbasa is the best. Followed by Italian sausage.

Kosher hot dogs are the good kind of hot dogs. But they are vastly improved by frying them in butter and skipping the bun (hot dog buns are an abomination).

What!?


Dude, me I'm not going to handle my sausage with my hands, I want to see it between two firm buns.

Just put it on a plate and stick a fork in it. Knives optional, but a cheese grater comes in handy.

Where's the fun in using forks to handle it? I love playing with lots of sauce*, to get it all real messy and slippery between the buns and see if I can keep that sausage from sliding out.


*no ketchup. Unless I'm really hungry and it's take it or leave it.

Ketchup and mustard is where I get confused. Some people say it's against the rules to put ketchup on a dog. I can't remember if that's a New York or a Chicago thing. And then there's the hard-core burger people, who swear that ketchup has no place on a patty.

Why all the ketchup hate?

vote gah. why because all the choices pale in comparison to a grilled spicy italian sausage.

Hot dogs all the way. Bratwurst is just a sausage.Hot dog is whole lot of things.

I put ketchup, mustard, sweet relish & chopped onion on mine; burgers included. Ketchup is one of the major food groups in my family. Ketchup haters = elitist grey poupon snobs.

Now personaly I know Granpappy fought two wars to protec tthe hot dog but imo nothing beats a flour tortilla, hot mustard, suarkruat, and a beer brat.

Sorry granpa

Hehehe, the Defenders of Texas Hots reminds the Prodigal Son of his duty.

I think you're missing something here. The ketchup haters I've known have all been hardcore dog/burger eaters, blue-collar dudes with strong opinions. The anti-ketchup thing is not a class thing, it's something else.

[Louis VI the Fat]

I don't get the ketchup hate either.

Any good restaurant will make sure they always have a bottle of ketchup handy in case of American guests.

It's the ketchup we get here. Your ketchup uses corn syrup obviously, so is thicker and less over-poweringly sweet than ours. I hate the ketchup we get here, it's like red sugar paste.
