Hot dogs traditionally should be served with like onions, relish, tomato slices, pickles, etc. They are depression-era food where you take the cheapest processed meat sausage and then pile it with cheap garden vegetables and canned goods.
Eating the hotdog with only ketchup is just covering your cheap processed meat tube with high fructose corn syrup.
jam on toast? preposterous. in cincinnati, where toast was invented by Coriolanus Toast III, it is customary to have navy beans, hubbard squash, and chili oil on toast. in fact, if you go to the community theater and get jam on your toast, the MC will squirt you with lemon juice and paddle your bottom with a bible.
Jam is a dessert food. It doesn't belong as a central part of a meal.
Yet Americans will eat it with sweetened peanut butter and sweetened bread and call the resulting creation, whether in its squishiness or its sogginess, a full meal.
I don't like ketchup and bread together unless there's another condiment there. Just mustard dog, hell fucking yes, mustard rules, plain relish dog, okay, cool thats fine. Plain ketchipdog I won't even eat. It needs a friend.
it's a Chicago and New York thing pretty exclusively to think ketchup on a hotdog is weird. but lots of media comes from those places, so it gets conflated with "all the sophisticated people on the continent feel this way".
Imagine believing anything about a hot dog could be considered sophisticated. Like eat the left over meat chunks we crammed into a meat tube and dump like 15 dollars of condiments and vegetable toppings, but don't use the wrong one or else it'll become gauche!
I eat my vegan dogs sans ketchup. I would never do that! Back in high school, my 10th grade history teacher said that ketchup on hot dogs is an abomination, and I totally agree with him.
Mustard, relish, onions? Absolutely. Maybe a simple vegan chili and cashew cheese if I'm feeling to load it up too.
Hot dog and ketchup is weird then I don’t want to be normal
"Hot dog and ketchup? What's wrong with hot dogs with ketchup? I like hot dogs with ketchup! ...Hey, that fellow's talkin' about me!"
"And that makes a difference, doesn't it?"
Fuck, didn't know we has these emojis
We don't, they're just pictures I uploaded
post high-res versions of these to c/emoji pronto!
I already did months ago but they didn't get added
It's weird if you're a Chicagoan

when you put it that way
It's a conspiracy to make something as normal as jam on toast seem unnatural

The "ketchup on hot dogs is wrong" thing seems mostly unique to USAmericans
It makes no sense to me because I'm an older U.S. millennial and growing up you put three things on yer dog: ketchup, mustard, and relish.
Where's the onions, chili beans and cheese you filthy animal?
I actually don't like cheese on a glizzy.
As a fellow millennial growing up only the stinky kids put ketchup on their hotdogs.
Maybe I was a stinky kid, ever think about that hot shot?

I agree with this.
I'm not wrong, it's the westoids who are wrong.

It seems to be extremely recent, too.
