Have a scar on my left thigh from slipping and falling onto a glass table while ranting about why ketchup on hotdogs is good actually
Was this even an argument? Tomato sauce is incredible and a staple on hotdogs and Bunnings snags. Are there anti-tomato sauce hotdog people??
Ketchup =/= tomato sauce.
Ketchup is mostly water and sugar.
In Australia we call ketchup tomato sauce. Tomato paste is probably what you’re thinking of.

If I heard ketchup I'd probably think of kecap manis/sweet soy sauce firstly.
Ahh fair fair. That’s my aussie ignorance showing.
Does ketchup taste like tomato sauce on a hotdog then?
I’ve always assumed Ketchup was the Americanism for tomato sauce.
As an American who has spent time in Oz, I can clarify. In Oz, what you call tomato sauce is what we call ketchup/catsup. In the US, tomato sauce is either the primary ingredient in things like spaghetti sauce, or it can be used to differentiate a red spaghetti sauce from something like an alfredo sauce.
Source: asked if I wanted tomato sauce at Macca's.
Nah mate you're right, we just use different names. Like how they call jam jelly.
Jam and jelly are two different things. Jam is made with actual fruit chunks (usually crushed or pureed), whereas jelly is made with just the fruit juice.
Nah jam is the stuff you spread on toast or a roast.
Jelly is the wobbly gelatinous blob that Americans call "jell-o".
I live in Chicago, if you ask for ketchup on your hotdog here they just throw it at you in disgust
Chicago dogs are gross anyway
Ketchup on hotdogs is good. Wear your battlescar with pride.
For me it depends on the wrapping, and I honestly don't know why. But if the [bun / bread] is toasted, then it has to be mustard. If it's not toasted, then it has to be ketchup. If it's steamed, then mustard and sauerkraut. And again, I have no idea why.
