New user here and thought it would be polite to say hello. This is actually the second time in the space of about a month but on my first try my account was quickly deleted because I had signed up using a free VPN. Hopefully last longer this time… ---

Hello. Welcome etc. We hope you enjoy your flight. Exits are here, here and here. ---

You may want to contact a mod, multiple accounts will get you the boot, too. What do you like on pizza? (I’m pretty sure VPN use should not get you the boot.) ---

I sent an admin an email once I figured out what I thought had gone wrong, so they’re hopefully aware! It was a free VPN so it probably triggered a blanket ban on an entire I/P range, I’ve signed up for a proper paid for one this time. And the always controversial ham and pineapple pizza is my favourite 😉 ---

Two huge questions, the answers to which will earn you both adoration and eternal damnation: Hot dogs: mustard or ketchup Chili: beans or no beans ---

> [@Celtic\_Kitsune](#): > > And the always controversial ham and pineapple pizza is my favourite 😉 I was going to say welcome to the board, but I see you’re going to need some re-education! Ham is a rather questionable thing to have on pizza, but pineapple is completely inexcusable. I’m convinced someone once put pineapple on pizza as a prank, and a few people – born with a tragic absence of taste buds – fell for it. 😉 > [@Chefguy](#): > > Hot dogs: mustard or ketchup Only those who have sold their soul to Satan put ketchup on hot dogs, apparently believing them to be hamburgers. As to mustard, one must use cheap yellow mustard out of a squeeze bottle, nothing else. Speaking as one who uses Grey Poupon Dijon on almost everything else, cheap yellow mustard is _de rigueur_ for hot dogs (only); anyone who uses Dijon on hot dogs reveals themselves to be a pretentious dork. > [@Chefguy](#): > > Chili: beans or no beans Chili without kidney beans is called “stew”. ---

> [@k9bfriender](#): > > And how about spicy brown mustard? Pretentious, or delicious? I reserve judgment because I haven’t tried it, but I wouldn’t condemn someone who happens to like it on hot dogs even if it wasn’t my preference. The thing about Dijon is that I can’t help but think it’s the _cachet_ of Dijon that is the attraction for these pretentious dorks, not the gustatory compatibility. But as I said, good Dijon (“good” meaning the kind made with white wine, like Grey Poupon, rather than vinegar) is usually preferable on most other things that take mustard. 😀 ---

Welcome aboard! It’s a fun place. For some of us, it’s what we use for a social life. 👋🏽 Ham AND pineapple on pizza. Beets would be going just too far. Mustard AND ketchup on hot dogs. And chili (beans or not, makes no diff), cheese, and onions (raw, chopped). Spicy brown mustard is okay. BTW there is currently a shortage of Gulden’s Spicy Brown Mustard, possibly in the whole world, but definitely in my local grocery store(s). ---

Ham and pineapple on pizza is great! Of course, I tend to eat hot dogs with… Mayo and taco sauce?!? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hello-everyone/972161.md?page=2)
