Food Thread: Ketchup On A Hot Dog! Confirmation of Parkinson's Law Of Trviality!

That's disgusting!

How does one screw up a great American (in the case of course, for the crunch!) hot dog? It's pretty much the perfect casual meal!

There is one way...ketchup. There are two ways...ketchup and relish! There are three ways... a Chicago Dog. And there might be four ways...chili dogs are right on the cusp!

But ketchup is the arch criminal in this strange American gang that refuses to recognize that the hot dog is great and pure and simple when eaten with mustard and sauerkraut. Or, just mustard for you purists.

Ketchup is far too sweet and overpowers the dogs delicious, meaty flavor. And it soaks the bun too quickly and makes it a sodden mess. it is on par, or maybe even worse, than shaking a Manhattan, or (shudder) putting maple syrup on French Toast!

Horrid...just horrid!

******
I needed some flour for a batch of pita, and I had, inexplicably, run out! Off to the local supermarket, where I bought their house brand, mostly because the stuff I usually buy was $8 for a five-pound bag. Yeah, this place has some interesting prices.

Anyway, it was terrible. How does one f*ck up flour? Clumpy, not milled as fine, and that probably caused the real problem, which was the incredible laxness of the dough. It had no structure at all, and I had to use a scraper to put it on the peel to transfer it to the oven.

That's nuts!

The pita wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't my best effort. And all of this could have been avoided had I been less of a wimp as I drove past the King Arthur Flour store on my way back from shooting in New Hampshire. It was raining, so I decided not to stop.

P*ssy!

Oh...it was crap as a sourdough feed too! Probably because it was bleached.

******
What? You don't know what UNIDO is?

Yeah, I didn't either until I read this article.

UNIDO revises food safety approach

UNIDO launched its Food Safety Approach 2.0 at the Vienna Food Safety Forum earlier this month. The plan calls for robust food safety systems, acknowledging the complexity and numerous stakeholders involved, and emphasizes the relevance of shared responsibility.
Challenges such as a shortage of qualified auditors, rising certification costs, and diverse regulatory requirements can disrupt supply chains. Because of increasing economic pressure, decision-makers in authorities and industry are often trying to save costs related to food safety.

What blathering nonsense, and what ridiculous overreach and duplicative effort and cost. The UN is, at best, a pathetic waste of time and money, and at worst is a malign influence in the world.
******
Speaking of sourdough, this is from commenter "Joe Kidd," who snapped the photo of a friend's kid's effort on the bread-baking front. Nice looking loaf, and I especially like the subtle adornment. That stuff is fun, and can be amazing looking.

Or stupid, to which most of my efforts can attest.

******
Well, here is something quite useful! it is tempting to assume that high quality and high price go hand in hand, but there are very few categories of goods in which that holds true. Sure, there is a correlation, but it is nowhere near 1!

I'm going to buy one of the two that seem to be the best, and I will run it through its paces and get back to you.

[Hat Tip: Weasel]

******
This is my base for roasted rack of lamb. I play with it a lot, and really, it's a standard recipe that can be found anywhere.

Garlic Herb-Crusted Roast Rack Of Lamb

But it has occurred to me that I should probably try it with pork racks! Mustard, garlic, Parmesan, Rosemary? That will be great! obviously a different cooking technique, but still...

******

******
I thought France would have good garlic, but the Frogs seem to have the same problem we have in the U.S. At least they don't import filthy garlic from China. Pork is great here, but no game, so send all of your extra antelope to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

~~Who are those poor deluded souls~~ We know who shakes their Manhattans! These are the same people who drink fine bourbon with coke, and probably shake red wine with ice too.

$1,200 for a bottle of bourbon is just stupid, insulting, and a ghastly affront to most people's palates and wallets. I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle.

The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

Which translates roughly from Latin into English, "suck it". I'll put ketchup on if I want to and furthermore, I will eat a Chicago dog. I spent enough time in the burbs there to learn to appreciate them.

There are many varieties of catsup. Before 1900, there were a sizable fraction of mushroom and walnut ketchup/catsup references, but eventually they dropped to a low level. in the 20th century, tomato ketchup/catsup became dominant.

Of course, in the 20th century and beyond, when an author writes ketchup or catsup without modification, it is probably assumed that the word refers to the tomato-based condiment. Are you referring to a tomato-based condiment?

I shake Manhattans. A lot. The frothy texture gives a more interring mouthfeel. Plus it’s a bit theatrical if you wanna impress the ladies (and you always want to impress the ladies). Tom Cruise made a whole fkn movie about it.

The butter for scrambled eggs tastes like fresh butter, not browned, yet they cook faster. Also more evenly. The brand name has Diamond in it. Sorry I can't be more accurate.

89 Now that summer has come, it's time to switch from shaken Manhattans to frozen ones, preferably with Pappy van Winkle whiskey. If you don't have vermouth, you can substitute Aunt Jemima synthetic maple syrup. Just put it all in a blender with some ice, and watch the magic happen.

91 WinnDixie has their deli smoked pork ribs on sale for the weekend.

I bought three racks. On sale they are $9.99. I'm old enough to remember when that was the regular price way back in 2023. Thanks, Joe.

But the one that is bugging me is my coffee has doubled in price in the last three months. Apparently there was a bad harvest in South America.

If you’re seasoning from scratch, apply a thin layer of oil, wipe off the excess (seriously—less is more), and bake it upside down at 450–500°F for an hour. Repeat a few times for a durable finish

99 Food Thread and First World Problem!

I made a 1796 apple pie for game night yesterday. The instructions said to “stew and strain”. I chose to put them in a crockpot overnight and then run them through a food mill, which was great. And there was just enough filling left over to go into a bowl along with the pie crust scraps.

Beautiful pie. I was also bringing ice cream to go along with it, and had the brilliant idea of using my combination cake and pie holder. I put the bowl of ice cream in a bowl of ice in the cake compartment and the pie in the pie compartment. I would have thought that the ice/ice cream on the bottom would have stabilized it, but noooooo. The ice bowl slide, the container flipped.

Fortunately the container didn’t open, so I was able to salvage the dessert by calling it apple crisp instead.

130 As a callow youth I put ketchup on hotdogs. I put ketchup on a lot of things back then. In my more mature years, circa six decades later, I have learned that mustard and lightly fried kraut (helps dry it out a bit so it doesn't soak the bun) are the way to go. If kraut isn't available (shudders in horror), mustard and relish is acceptable.

165 I learned the hard way about hot dogs at a cart on Park Avenue in NYC. I was a young Midwest fool in the city for the first time, saw a vendor and just had to order a dog. I mean - that was the most New York thing to do! Vendor asked me: “Mustard and onion?” I said “No - just ketchup”. His face twisted, he muttered an unprintable, looked at me with disgust like I had 3 eyes and green teeth. “Ketchup!?!” He asked. “Yes please.” He took my money. He bent down and rummaged around under the cart to find an old bottle. Squirted some on and practically threw it at me with a snarl and a grunt. He waved me away and couldn’t even make eye contact. I got the message. Since then, all my dogs are mustard and onion. Period.

167 Growing up in Chicago, I used to hear people blather that a "real Chicagoan" doesn't put ketchup (or catsup, as it used to be spelled) on a hot dog. To which I reply that a real Chicagoan (or any variety of real American) puts on his/her hot dog whatever the hell he wants, and if you don't like it, f*** you.

As for me, I find most hot dogs pretty lousy. One exception is Hebrew Nationals, which my wife (the native New Yorker) put me on to. In general, though, I'll take a brat or a Polish or Italian sausage over a hot dog: garnished with a little dijon mustard and either kraut or raw onion (or both), and maybe some sweet peppers if I'm feeling adventurous. Games at our local minor-league baseball team are a great venue for enjoying a brat and a brewski: God, do I love summer!

That's what I made for tonight (placed in a very large ramekin so not as big as when made in a pie pan). Tonight's pie is chicken.

>>Bacon makes everything better.

Bacon can be a bit much in certain recipes.

Sometimes we want an easy meal and we get a couple of store rotisserie chickens and some pre-packaged sides, got a bow-tie macaroni salad with bacon, they put way too much bacon in it to the point that everything was overwhelmed with bacon flavor.

Again, bacon can be overdone.

174 151 Anyone like spaetzle? I think it’s very tasty if prepared right. I’m a little surprised it’s not a thing here in the states. Sadly, I think a lot of European food that isn’t French or Italian gets fucked in the ass by snooty critics, and the public follows suit. If spaetzle was French it would be a major food here.

176 Hot dogs here get mustard and homemade relish and usually chopped onions. When we make relish, the recipe calls for green bell pepper. We substitute half of the green pepper with jalapeño. Good stuff. Ketchup is optional.

Smoked sausage is also a way of life in the Texas Czech/German belt. That gets sauerkraut, grilled onions, and a mustard blend.

Don't knock sardines...if you don't have anchovies or they are too pricy, sardines can make a fine base for the start of a meat-free tomato pasta sauce (hi lent) - just start with them in the olive oil, break them down to nothing, and go from there.

208 A lot of these condiments were invented before refrigeration to help hide the fact that the meat was going bad.

I don't know why so many people are addicted to covering everything with some kind of bottled sauce, especially since we have fridges and freezers now to keep the meat fresh.

I like ketchup on fries every now and then - can take it or leave it.

I'll put mustard and ketchup on burgers and used to do the same for hot dogs but changed up and only use mustard (with chili, onions and shredded cheese) now.

Mayonnaise on sandwiches is good occasionally, but I can go either way and still be happy.

A little Worcestershire sauce on steaks (& hamburgers too) is good before the grill.

Never understood slathering everything with ketchup, like eggs.

Had some family members who loved putting ketchup on french toast. I was never even tempted to try a bite because it just seems so wrong.

Like has been said, there are many opinions out there. Some good advice on here too. As Don Black said, something with a high smoke point. And there is ~~iron~~ oil in the words of Weasel.

I used to use Crisco to season new cast-iron dutch ovens. But as a matter of fact, I am re-seasoning a sheet metal griddle right now. Its just a really thick sheet with 3 sides bent up to contain the grease, with holes in the front to scrape the grease into a catch tray below, so I can use it on my gas grill. I'm using olive oil because it's what I had and the bottle was already open.

I don't think sheet steel holds the seasoning like cast iron, but the trick for either is to keep it clean and oiled.

Greetings, Pet ... Tonight was a first for everything, and while the individual components all tasted good -- especially the onions which were outstanding -- the ensemble was better suited for serving in a bowl rather than on a bun ... Messy as all get out ... I knew the bison meat was especially lean, which is part of why I added the Boursin cheese along with a beaten egg and cracker crumbs (no salt or pepper, tho)... Sadly, there's no way these patties would have survived a grill (mine doesn't have a flat top) ... Maybe half bison half beef will hold together better.

Greetings, JQ ... This probably isn't like your Mom's, but it's a deliciously different recipe ... Fry 6-8 slices of thick bacon, remove bacon from the pan but leave the grease in ... Saute some onions in the bacon grease, add in a small jar of applesauce, add the bacon (crumbled) back in, then stir in a large can (or bag) of store-bought sauerkraut ... Continue cooking on stove, or in the oven, or in a crockpot for several hours -- the longer the better ...

425 Probably 20 people have already told you this, but I'm too tired to check: don't use bleached flour for bread and especially not for sourdough. No bueno. Bread flour is best, unbleached all-purpose is next best. Rye is great for waking up your starter and some in the dough is good too, likewise whole wheat.

And -ketchup is good on hot dogs. As I've mentioned before, Mr. Nouveau French Snob, my sister-in-law said that when they were stationed at the embassy in Germany years ago, the French would go into the PX and buy Wonder Bread and ketchup when they thought no one was looking.

426 Ketchup on dogs is just wrong.

Mustard on cats is funny.

427 Loved the nonstick pan test video. Excellent real world testing, no nonsense.
I use Tramontina skillets. They heat evenly and the coating lasts if you don't use metal utensils, which are easy enough to avoid. What I like about them is the shape of the pan, because they are good for flipping the contents without having to use a utensil. The angle between the side and the bottom is perfect, as is the height.

428 Your unfounded assertion that hot dogs have a "meaty flavor" is making me question all that you have said about food. Your palate is now suspect. Or, you must be buying some other product from a German metzger. American hot dogs are as far from 'meaty' as one can get while still using meat as an ingredient.

429 Again, bacon can be overdone.

Yeah, I used to think so as well. Then I got two more in the same year for a total of 5 kitties now.

431 Not mush is more laughably stupid than food snobbery. And food snobbery about goddamned hot dogs is even worse. They're HOT DOGS, fergawdssake. Ketchup is fine, and blow it out your ass if that bothers you. A proper chili dog with cheese is nature's perfect food. Sauerkraut tastes like pickled ass and none will ever touch my dawg.

432 Right on ketchup. It's a pure abomination. You are wrong on the Chicago Dog, however. It is the proper way to eat a hot dog, unlike Seattle's cream cheese horror.

433 Not just any mustard: Colman's English Mustard. It's spicy hot and much more mustardy than any American mustard. It is hard to find, though. I order it online because it's impossible to find around here.
