Mustard

Ketchup

Mayonaise

Hotdog Sauce

Ranch Dressing (WTF?)

[Arachno-capitalist]

What in the fuck is hot dog sauce?

[Carlos del Vaca]

also, there is this chilean food that my mom says means "rags" or "leftover pieces" or something, but apparently in other spanish-speaking countries it means something like "panties" or "thong," i forget what specific word.

Ropa vieja?

Is it anything like cowboy sauce?

Every place has it's own style and recipe but Nick's is probably the most well known: http://nicksconeysauce.com/nicks_sauce/unique_characteristics.htm

I don't recall us talking about Cort's prodigious link.

It's kinda like putting a pineapple slice on something magically makes it Hawaiian-style.

This reminds me. I really need to try a Spicy-Salty-Sweet pizza (jalapeno, bacon, pineapple) as soon as I can locate a pizza place that uses fresh jalapeno instead of the nasty jarred kind.

You are allowed to put anything on a hotdog as long as it is not ketchup.

Right now I am going to put homemade refried beans, rice, salsa, cheese and sour cream in a flour tortilla and call it delicious.

I have a friend who likes mayo on his hot dogs. I swear, it's not me -- it sounds like something I would do, but I've never tried it. Well, except on corn dogs, but that doesn't count.

We got a hot dog cart for one of our parties at the radio station, and the guy was an atlas of hot dog knowledge. He'd ask where someone was from, and then say "oh, central Ohio, so you want sauerkraut and brown mustard, with a pickle on the side? (made up example)" He knew every regional variety.

If I'd told him I was originally from Toledo, he probably would have referenced Tony Packos. That's what we call a hot dog back in the Old Country. Jamie Farr used to talk about it in his role as Klinger on M*A*S*H.

Thing is, I've never been to Packos, and I don't care for chili sauce -- too spicy for my tender palate. I like my dogs with just a smear of sweet hot mustard, nothing else. I guess I'd take grilled onions if they were available, but I don't make them at home because Pedro doesn't eat them and it's not worth it to make them just for me.

Tonight we're having a Southern bastardization of Polish cuisine -- what passes for kielbasa from the Harris Teeter deli, grilled like brats, and Mrs. T's frozen pirogi, fried up in a pan. I make no pretense of authenticity -- this so-called kielbasa in my fridge is PINK! -- but more of an homage to my ethnic roots, if you will.

To pull things together:  behold the chilean hotdog!

Yup - that's mayo and mashed avocado, plus a little diced tomato.  Proof that adding avocado to all things does not make it Californian.

I've had one of these once.  It wasn't my cup of tea, although mayo and avocado are two of my favorite things.  Then again I am not a hot dog fan, so perhaps that was more of the problem.

made up example = dead-on fact

how did you do that get out of my braaaaain

Avocado's on a hotdog sounds like a thing, man.  A thing I am going to try.

Enjoy Paul.  It was certainly a more oozy/globby experience than any other hot dog I'd ever had. 

Can I get some clarification in relation to avocados on a taco?  Is that a thing that is done?  I mean I've done it for both tacos and fajitas, but does how does the barometer swing on this one?  Does adding say diced avocado or guacamole move the whole procedure further away from the wavering standard of what a taco is, or is it a legit addition?

As far as I can tell an avocado on a taco is perfectly fine.  It's still a taco.  Unlike adding beans it doesn't change it into something different.

Let's recap shall we.

• Beans on a soft corn tortilla is a taco (you happy now Choop?).
• Beans on a crispy fried corn tortilla is a tostata.
• Beans on a soft flour tortilla is a burrito.

Avocado really does nothing for me besides being squishy and nasty.  I like it on the outside of a sushi roll and can tolerate it on the inside of sushi roll, but I agree with the Onstad line, "they taste like gelatin, people."

Anyway, I just feel I have to add that I like black beans the best of beans.  The best bean.  Beans.  I like black beans.

I thought they were San Francisco burritos.
