Unusual Food Thread

Open steak sandwich and bowl of beer battered chips with aioli and ketchup.

The midwestern US is strange about Ketchup/Catsup. Some folks put it on eggs or steak or just about anything. But there are many (especially in Chicago) who will mock you for putting it on a hot dog. (It seems universally fine on a hamburger, but I can't even conceive of putting it on italian or polish sausage or a bratwurst).

I put it on hotdogs here, I think that's your corndogs.
On American hotdogs prefer relish over ketchup.

Ketchup on corn-dogs makes sense.

I do mustard and dill relish on (non-corn) dogs and sausages if making them myself.

Mustard, onions, and chili is a bit more work, but pretty commonly found when eating out (and good at campouts in cooler weather).

It's hard to find these done fully right outside of the Midwest:

Looks good, American style hot dogs kinda rare here. You would have to go looking to find them and they're gonna be basic.

Burger Rings, unique to NZ afaik.

Hard to describe the flavour. Savoury cheese/tomato/bbq mix I suppose.

I’m a big sausage-phile, but I don’t eat hot dogs much anymore. And catsup is becoming a rarer condiment for me to use.

But damn it, if I go to a baseball game, I guarantee you I will have at least one hotdog with catsup...if not twelve.

I can’t say exactly why. I didn’t grow up a baseball fan- I really came to it in my 20s. And I didn’t go to many games in person. But every time I did go, I had to have at least one hotdog.

American style hotdog right?

American style hotdog right?

Beef/pork/beef & pork mix frank on a bun, yes.

Usually catsup & mustard for toppings at sporting events.

Elsewhere, I favor chili, cheese & onion; Chicago style; BBQ & garlic sauce...

But more often than any of that, I buy other kinds if sausage and treat them like hot dogs.

NZ hot dog.

Can also be a sausage on a stick, normally it's a saveloy but that might be a regional thing.

The bun one called American Hotdog. Very original here.

Ye olde English pie refined to near perfection. Pies are savoury not sweet FYI USA

Peppered steak and Jalapeno cheese.

This pie was glorious, mouth is still burning. About as spicy as a hot vindaloo. Tasted great.
