Nasty, nasty, nasty. Ketchup on hot dogs looks like blood. Tastes vile too. Add any vegetables you want but the only spread should be mustard.

ew, ew, chili.
I forgot to mention that nacho cheese and canned button mushrooms on that hot dog also taste lovely. Especially if all the other things I mentioned are in there too. Posts: 3389 | Registered: Apr 2004

Yea, truly, hot dogs, chili dogs, and every other sort of dog-food are an abomination unto me. Even with relish.

Shigosei: Me too! Well, at least, I've been reading/ lurking at Hatrack on and off since high school (note the registration number on this account ). And now I'm halfway through graduate school applications as well. What sort of programs are you applying for, incidentally?

Chili dogs are yummy. In my family we make what my mom has long called "swanky frankies" which is a hot dog cut lengthwise, inserted with cheese, wrapped in bacon, and then baked in the oven. I think they call it that because Death by Cholesterol was either less appealing or already taken. Small amounts of onions are okay.
I relish the other condiments, but I can't stand mustard, it just doesn't cut it.

It's not so much about how well Peleguis wrote as much as he went after big ideas. He wrestles with giants and losses and losses, even when he doesn't realize it, but he is trying and thinking and he is engaged, and that's a beautiful thing.
Here is a bit from "The Real Thing":
quote:Annie:What gets you about Brodie is he doesn't know his place. You say he can't write like is like a head waiter saying you can't come in here without a tie. Because he can't put words together. What's so good about putting words together?
Henry: It's traditionally considered advantageous for a writer.
Annie: He's not a writer. He is a convict. You're a writer. You writer because you're a writer...You teach a lot of people what to expect from good writing, and you end up with a lot of people saying you write well. Then somebody who isn't in on the game comes along, like Brodie, who really has something to write about, something real, and you can't get through it
It's kind of like that, if you substitute Pel for Brodie. Pel isn't so much a writer, yet, but he is a fledgling thinker and theorist.
quote:Originally posted by Storm Saxon: I think Pel was unreasonably treated badly by the vast majority of the people here.
I think few of Pel's posts were rude or deserved the treatment that he got.
I think that's all I'm going to say on the subject.
Then I'll leave it at "I think you're wrong on the first two... especially the second."
Ditto.
Given the time and energy many people put into constructive and helpful (or at least potentially so) responses to Pel, I really don't understand your attitude, Stormy.
(Not my posts. I was plenty snarky to Pel, when I didn't simply ignore him. I think he deserved it each time, but that's another story.) But quite a few people carefully and calmly and repeatedly engaged him. I think that deserves respect, not slams.

And to think I initially ignored this thread because Pel started it.
Pel, I hope you take the advice directed at you in here and the other threads to heart. You could become a valued member of this community if you want.

Tarrsk, I just finished my application to Stanford's Biosciences PhD program. If I get in, that's where I'm going! I'm applying to a few other biology PhD programs on the west coast as backups. How about you?

Come, now, ketchup, there's no reason why we can't work together. Ketchup and Relish could have a beautiful alliance!

I don't mind people who eat ketchup and relish on theirs. Personally, I like ketchup, relish, mayo, and grilled onions and/or bacon and/or sauerkraut.
It's those who will not eat the ketchup that must be smitten.

Wow, how about that? I just submitted my application to the same program about a week ago. I'd bet that we're applying to the same other programs, as well. Although in my case, my current top choice is UCSF, as I like living in a city environment. Either way, it sounds like we'll both be doing the bio PhD thing next year- best of luck!

Well, Pickletopia is a constitutional monarchy. I'm largely a figurehead and can't force people to acknowledge the sublime beauty that is pickle relish. Hence, I cannot participate in any smiting.
I can only suggest strongly that people enjoy the loveliness of pickle relish on all appropriate foods (and even on inappropriate foods, if such is their wish).
(The Crown Princess wishes it known that she acknowledges the following hot dog toppings as Superior: Relish, Ketchup, and Cheese, and any combination thereof.)

kq, honey, I love ketchup on many, many things. But not on hotdogs. And certainly not on bratwurst.

As much as it pains me to say this, mustard is the only condiment that should ever go on bratwurst.

*Smites*
Bratwurst is allowable without ketchup (I eat it with mustard and kraut, sometimes grilled onion.) But to deny the ketchupy goodness that is a hot dog drowned in ketchup... Blasphemy!
Let us not even start on those of you who find ketchup on ice cream revolting without even TRYING it.

Tarrsk, I've done the city environment thing for awhile (I'm at Arizona State right now). It's good, but I like Stanford's program enough to be willing to live a bit outside the city. Plus, Palo Alto's a nice place, and I'm within reach of a bunch of big cities if I want to visit. Which home program at Stanford did you apply to? I did biological sciences, but also said on the supplemental form that I'd like to do neuroscience and microbiology/immunology.
The grad student I used to work for went to UCSF by the way. I hear their biology program is quite good as well. Good luck to you!

Shigosei: I also listed Biological Sciences as my top choice, with Mol/Cell/Dev Bio as my concentration within that program. Microbiology/immunology and cancer biology were my alternate choices.

Sometimes kethchup seems... ostentatious.
Nope, Ketchup (except we call it catsup) is just NASTY. Not quite as offensive as mayo, but bad nonetheless.

darn you people, all this talk of juicy scrumptious bratwurst as I'm sitting here holding off on lunch until some coworkers get out of meetings... my stomach may well eat itself before long

Ketchup is a wonderful invention--perhaps America's finest. But it does not belong on a hotdog. I mean, unless you just don't like hotdogs, and want them to taste like . . . ketchup. Relish, saurkraut, and mayonaise, of course, belong on nothing. As for chili, it's a dish, not a topping.
Mustard, on the other hand, is good on any non-dessert item. You should own a wide variety of mustards, and decide for yourself which variety is best on which food. Or, better yet, divide your food so that you can have a little bit with each type of mustard you possess, and enjoy severalk different flavors in one meal. While pedestrian yellow mustard has its uses--chief among them being hotdogs and pretzels--if that's the only mustard you use, you're a sad, little person.
