The best hotdog I ever had was in London, from a cart in Leicester Square.

My sister just called me to find the traditional colour of mourning in Ghana. Now that I know she won't read the e-mail I sent just seconds before she called until late tomorrow (due to the funeral she's attending), I'm pre-emptively impatient.

Hot dog party at Lyra's house!

I'm trying to think of a Buffistaly response that is not actually gross, and words are failing me. Sorry.

I also have no thoughts involving cats and mayonnaise. We usually tell our cats they're going to be turned into either goulash or roast beastie. (Mmmm, kitty goulash...)

Problem: I don't like crab.

I love crab. But I hate mock-crab. Which many inexpensive Chinese and Thai restaurants insist on serving around here (usually in some sort of seafood combo).

Wait, I take it back! I might have had hotdogs in 1996. Except they seemed a little different. From the vendors all around Prague.

Argh! bon bon edited to add mayo to the cats....

Sorry about that. I realized that mayo is the controversy that forms the epicenter of this food preference MADNESS.

BTW ranch is gross but Mayo is fab with fries. I don't know why the relative blandness of mayo enhances the humble fry but it must be that ketchup masks it.

ita, this sounds like a chance to revenge years of sibling wrongs.

"Tomato red."

Hot dogs = mustard and sauerkraut.

Mayonnaise is an abomination. That's in Leviticus somewhere, I swear it.

I suddenly and completely lost my taste for ketchup about 6 months ago, and it weirds me out. Actually, I s & c l my t for a lot of prepared foods, because I cut way back on sugar and became incredibly sensitive to how heavily sweetened a lot of things are that you don't necessarily think of as sweet foods -- but of all of them, ketchup is the one that weirds me out, because it's such the default condiment for American crap food.

I sorta did the same. Then I too noticed how sweet ketchup is, so I never eat french fries with ketchup. But I'll still order hamburgers with everything on them, so I don't mind getting ketchup that way....

I've recently taken to preferring salsa on my hamburgers, instead of ketchup, but you can't find any restaurant, let alone fast-food place, that'll serve it that way.

I like my hotdogs with ketchup, mustard, sweet relish and cheddar cheese. Onna bun.

I had ranch dressing for lunch, with chicken tenders. Yum, but not so filling.
