I like seeing some of the shenanigans people get up to with hot dogs,
IDK why it seems like a kind of food where people tend to just stick to the basics a lot more than with other similar foods like burgers and pizzas.
So far the fanciest I’ve gotten with it is wrapping the sausage with a strip of bacon, lining the bun with ketchup and a little relish, and then topping it with a line of ketchup.
I’ve thought about experimenting more but I feel like I need more space in the bun and for the hun to be sturdier for it to hold anything more than that.
I say “gracias” all the time. But now I’m wondering…
Went to the local Mexican joint, waiter started talking to my Filipina wife in Spanish. She gamely answered back with a word or two, was obviously confused.
Now I’m scared that people will think I’m mistaking them for Mexican when I toss out a word or two.
Just to fuck with my wife; She was talking to a friend in Tagalog when I walked in the kitchen.
It’s worth noting that Tagalog and some other Filipino languages share a pretty large vocabulary with Spanish actually. Of course they have huge differences in other ways but she may have actually understood a bit.
That wasn’t the point of the comment though I know.
I’ve always enjoyed chips as a quasi palate cleanser for dishes that run fatty and have sauerkraut. Which is a fairly small range of foods. But it’s because the flatness of the potatoes, the single note saltiness, and the relatively lower fat levels do a good job of refreshing the palate alongside something else pickled and/or a beverage.
But it seems like that would make this dog have less “oomph” to the taste buds. That’s one of the great things about kraut on a wiener, how bold it is. It makes a great texture and taste contrast with the usual dogs out there.
It’s an interesting choice, but not one I would have made because of that.
I think if I did this, I’d have to do a side by side with and without the chips. The difference isn’t going to be massive, but it could be enough to shift the enjoyment level.
Now, chips on a dog is something I’ve done before. Plenty of times, actually. That crunch, and the mild flavor do indeed help cut through some flavors. But, typically, that’s going to be most desirable with things like simple condiments and maybe a bit of relish.
You know, a bit of mustard and/or ketchup is a good basic dog. You then add a little something extra to kick it up a notch without killing the simplicity of it. Some crumbled chips, even if it’s a pile on the plate and you dip into it (which is my preferred way with simple dogs), and it changes things just enough that each of the individual flavors gets separated and then melds on the tongue.
