Things I Don't "Get"

[Galway Eagle]

Yeah Bud products our demonstrably bad......I have yet to understand why ketchup on a hot dog is bad for anything other than "reasons". I mean if someone doesn't want to put ketchup on a hot dog that's cool with me but I don't get why I'm the devil for liking ketchup on a hot dog.

I personally think it's gross because of the amount of sugar in ketchup. Nothing to do with city pride unless someone specifically orders a Chicago style then adds ketchup lol. But that being said you do you.

I'm a lot more worried about the amount of not-meat that is in the hot dog.

In Ireland I love the ketchup, more vinegary and no HFC. Haven't tried it in the states I'll give it a shot.

I don't get why some people care so much about what other people put on their hot dogs.

Agreed. In NYC I'd frequently hit up Grey's Papaya and put ketchup and spicy brown mustard in my hot dogs l

but is it a sandwich?

You can put anything you want on your hot dog.    I have seen syrup, peanut butter, mushrooms...whatever floats your boat.

When I was a small child, I put nothing on my hot dog. Ate it plain. No particular reason why. Then one day by accident, someone gave me a hot dog w/condiments on it, mostly mustard, ketchup. And then I began to eat hot dogs sometimes plain, sometimes w/different condiments. My mom made a great sazitza. (Thiugh her Lasagna and chocolate chip cookies and two layer chocolate cakes were the best) I later would eat bratwurst here and there. Secret stadium sauce in Milwaukee, sure, whatever. I never really considered it a sandwich but if some people want to call it that, sounds good, don't care either way. I don't eat red meat often these days, once in a while, mostly chicken and fish.

I 'll even eat a traditional Chicago style hot dog. I will also eat deep dish pizza, though I probably prefer tavern style to that, and perhaps a Pequod's and others to a Lou Malnati's. But my favorite pizza style is an NYC style pizza, though I will enjoy Connecticut style, Neopolitan style, Jersey style, Detroit, St. Louis, and other styles of pizza too. I'll even eat a frozen pizza once in a while, though it doesn't happen as often as the Tombstone Hall Store Pizza at MU Rah Rah. It is pizza after all.

When I was a kid I drank Kool-Aid. It was refreshing. Later a sip of my mom's diet soda, later my own regular sods, later diet soda, and eventually, no soda. (Water only these days) 

People drink and eat different things, and, sometimes it even changes over time. All good. Like what you like. Try new things. Have fun.

I say no. But it is one of my favorite debates

Yep. Several great choices in New Haven. The people are spoiled. Difficult to choose one fav, maybe Modern, I don't want to leave some others out. I'm definitely not just an old school Frank Pepe vs Sally's crowd, though I enjoy those places too. You can't really go wrong here.

I'm a Pepe's person.
Post-Marquette I lived a block away from Modern and got take-out from there every Friday night.
Get pizza from The Bar in DT New Haven quite frequently as well as Roseland in Derby, CT.

Here is my ranking.

Modern
Sally's
Bar
Zuppardi's
Pepe's

To put it in context, I would put Pepe's above any of my favorite pizza joints from Chicago or most other places i have lived.

You know what I don't get?

Flan.

It's just gross.  I mean, I can see someone coming up with the recipe, but didn't the first people who ate flan say, hey, this is edible but not good at all, do not ever make this goo again?

My wife is from Argentina and makes a deliciious flan.  Creme Brulee done right is even better.

I do not get "rain" showerheads.   

I mean, do you really want to feel like you're in the rain?
