I once saw a T-shirt that said “I put ketchup on my ketchup.” I almost bought it. I load each french fry with as much ketchup as it can possibly hold before bringing it to my mouth.
I’m not a fan of White Castle, but I love McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish sandwich.
I tipped a hamper full of cats onto the floor and they went rolling all over the place. Seven ended up cats down, but three were catsup.
The spot it hits would probably somewhere between your navel and your spine
i pronounce it much closer to Catch Up (run together).
As far as misusing it’s… what can I say, I was all hopped up on Hot Pockets.
I’m ok with all of these though I’ll tease you about the hot dogs. However, I can’t agree that Hot Pockets are good.
Cecil wrote an article on it where he explains the perfectly valid reasons why ketchup is wrong on hot dogs. But I’m not the food police, eat whatever you want.
And I always though catsup was pronounced “ketchup”. Same word, just spelled differently, like jail and gaol.
I disagree with the OP on some points, and wholeheartedly agree on White Castle sliders. Oh, and I once stopped at that six stool, hundred year old burger joint in Kansas mentioned above. It was good, but doesn’t quite scratch the same itch as White Castle.
Foodies don’t have to march in lockstep. Don’t be ashamed of your unorthodox preferences!
Ketchup on a corndog is a sin. Yea, verily.
This has been discussed quite a bit but there is a distinction here. Ketchup on a hotdog is fine (depending on your taste, of course), but ketchup doesn’t go on a Chicago dog. A Chicago-style hot dog is a particular way to serve a hot dog and has yellow mustard, white onion, green relish, sport peppers, tomatoes, dill pickle spear, and celery salt. That’s how it’s served, that’s it’s name, but you can actually have ketchup on a hot dog in Chicago without getting run out on a rail. The guys at my local hot dog place don’t care if someone wants ketchup. It’s akin to going to a place and ordering a chilidog but wanting whip cream on it instead of chili; without the chili it ceases to be a “chilidog.”
With ketchup?
I mean, even when it’s an all-beef kosher hot dog, it’s still the parts of the cow that they couldn’t sell as steaks or even as burger. That these ground-up leftover bits should be treated as something too pure to defile with ketchup…are you fucking kidding me?!
Okay, admit it…you’re really Jim Gaffigan, arent’ you? 
Beans in Chili are fine. No, they are required!
Miracle Whip has it’s place. Miracle Whip is great!
Sometimes a White Castle burger hits the spot. Only if you’re drunk.
Ketchup is not forbidden on a hot dog. HEATHEN!!!
Lots of resistance here to Miracle Whip…what about it’s evil dessert twin Cool Whip? Eh? Eh?
When I was a kid I thought I didn’t like mayo. Later as an adult I discovered I do actually like mayo. My mom always bought Miracle Whip, which at the time I didn’t realize was different from mayo. It’s actually Miracle Whip that I don’t like.
I thought it was only forbidden in Chicago. Has this rule spread throughout the rest of hte country?
Frozen Cool Whip is a delight. White Castles are great going down but I have a problem with them once they hit that spot. Or they have a problem with me. We agree to disagree and the only real loser in this fight is the toilet.
I have eaten Hot Pockets and not hated them. I haven’t liked them either. When I was very young I ate my hot dogs with ketchup and sweet pickle relish. I also liked to put sugar on my Frosted Flakes, so you know how I was back then.
ETA: I always thought chili had beans and chili con carne was the one with meat.
You mean Cool Hwip?
I’d fall into a diabetic coma with that much sugar.
But that apostrophe doesn’t.
