I have no idea why, but I had the urge to create a poll completely unrelated to Celestia.

Mustard is good, but brown sauce is better.

salsa de tomate

Prefiero comer mole poblano, pozole, tamales en xiotle, garnachas de tu h., y ponerle mucha salsa de tomate al perro caliente.

Honestly you are missing are serious alternative in your poll. I for one have NEVER eaten in my whole life a hot dog ;-)

I don't even know exactly what it looks like. I suppose it is a "delicacy" imported from the US? Did I miss something essential? Is it better than a piece of soft Brie cheese on a fresh piece of bred and a glass of red wine?

Guys, you might not believe this, but it _is_ true: in the city i grew up in, south of Oslo, they actually sell hot dogs wrapped in belgian waffles with bearnaise sauce topping. This awful mix is very popular, so popular it is regarded to be a sort of "national dish" in the region. And it??s spreading. Last week i was in Sweden, which is a couple of hours drive from there, and nowthey have started selling it there too!

Wow rthorvald, and I thought what they put in those was bad enough for you. Amazing that Sweeds and Norweigians aren't fatter than us Americans... I prefer a nice spicy mustard, but I also prefer wurst (brat or knock) over dogs. Add some sauerkraut and beer and I am in heaven.

Sounds dreadful !
Would they notice if the dogs went missing ? :lol:
Do you know that in Scotland a deep-fried battered black pudding is a national institution ( blackpudding = pigs blood sausage, battered = flour/water mix coating) and sometimes they wrap it in bread like a dog !

I did not vote because HPsauce was not an option :lol:

Why does that not surprise me ? !

You are confusing two different classes of object, it is as unproductive as asking which is more beautiful, a galaxy or a planetary nebula
( but anyways, it is otherwise known as humour/humor Fridger)

Image It's not really a delicacy, you can get them pretty much anywhere, especially in New York City. Also, they originated in Frankfurt, Germany (hence, the real name "frankfurter").
Sorry about the lack of choices, for some reason I could only put two....

But dont worry, you know the old adage ? Put four cosmologists in a room and you'll get five answers Even without invoking Schrodingers cat.

... This is not about his cat, but if the hypothetical dog is hot or not. Or rather, it would be if Schroedinger sold hot dogs for a living...

As to the question of hot dog condiments... chili, melted cheese, and saurkraut.

Oh my. Now I'm hungry.

I picked ketchup (in Australia we call it tomato sauce) since I don't think I've ever had one with mustard, I have hot dogs with grated cheese on top though. :)

It's probably because people in America eat more of those types of food than Scandinavians in general. Australians aren't too thin either... :(

And the pudding to this pudding is a deep fried Mars Bar. I kid you not...

... though Frankfurters are traditionally served with Gr??n' So??. I think hotdogs with ketchup or mustard might follow the Danish rodp??lser tradition, which specifically includes a special soft roll to take the sausage and are served with a lovely herby tomato ketchup. Mmmm...

Well, americans have a fastfood culture that is not as pronounced here in Europe - yet...

Anyhow, hot dogs: bratw??rst with Coleman??s mustard and raw onions. Fine-grained Dijon works too, but not quite as good...

As a Frenchman I have to say mustard, from Dijon of course, not this sugary fluorescent yellow sauce Americans call mustard.
