Me and dh have just had a debate over.......

Hotdogs Grin

He says it should go roll, onions and the sausage on top

I said its bread, sausage and then onions on top.

So entertain me and tell me what is the correct way of assembling the hot dog.

I know in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter as it goes into your mouth all at once but damn it, it's the principle!

Onions on top.

is he from Mars?!?!

kelper · 07/07/2016 16:02

Bread, sausage, onions, american mustard :)

Patterkiller · 07/07/2016 16:02

Bread sausage onions. He's wrong

nothanksbyenow · 07/07/2016 16:02

You completely missed out the tomato sauce & mustard. I don't think I can take this issue seriously.

WhooooAmI24601 · 07/07/2016 16:02

He is being ridiculous. Has he had a drink?

Queenbean · 07/07/2016 16:02

Aesthetically, it's your way

But for pure taste and lack of mess, it's his way. With ketchup and mustard on the bun before onion then sausage on top. With more ketchup and mustard

ThatsMyStapler · 07/07/2016 16:03

If you put onions on first, they don't fall off....

HoneyDragon · 07/07/2016 16:03

It's better with onions underneath. I'm with your dh.

MothertotheLordsofmisrule · 07/07/2016 16:03

Bread sausage onions

The onions are a garnish along with the mustard.

Vixster99 · 07/07/2016 16:04

sausage on top. that way the onions are less likely to fall off before it gets to your mouth.

(but I hate them anyway)

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 07/07/2016 16:05

I don't like onions.

Ineedmorelemonpledge · 07/07/2016 16:08

Split the bun across the top.

Squeeze mustard and/or ketchup down the bun crack Wink

Add sausage then drizzle mustard and/or ketchup on the sausage in a zigzag.

Add onions. Boiled or fried, not those dried monstrosities they use in Europe sometimes.

hazeyjane · 07/07/2016 16:08

god god, it goes....

bun, sausage, onions with mustard/ketchup on top.

as every civilised person knows

ifherbumwereabungalow · 07/07/2016 16:08

Bread, onions, sausage, MORE onions, squiggly line of ketchup, squiggly line of American mustard. Has to be squiggly or the entire meal is ruined.

NeedACleverNN · 07/07/2016 16:08

See we compromise in the end.

who ever serves, serves it the way that person likes. So I'll it his way for him and my way for me.

Still a good debate though

Oh don't even mention splitting the bun!!

Forgot about that part!

He used to slit it on its side. Nooooo you always cut the top!

HuskyLover1 · 07/07/2016 16:11

I've always put the onions on top....but what a great idea to put them on the bun first - no more spillage!

gamerchick · 07/07/2016 16:12

Practically his way is best mess wise. Nobody can eat one of those things cleanly.

hazeyjane · 07/07/2016 16:15

practical doesn't come in to it. You are supposed to have a bit of mustardy ketchup dribbling down your chin and your arm. It's what makes hotdogs the ideal first date food.

MadeForThis · 07/07/2016 16:47

Onions underneath. Less wastage.

Nuggy2013 · 07/07/2016 16:48

You're right. LTB.

WorraLiberty · 07/07/2016 16:51

Onions on top

Pack his bags and leave them on the drive, right this minute.

NarcyCow · 07/07/2016 16:52

I wrap a slice or bread around the whole thing. Keeps it contained much better.

Boiled onion, though? What depravity is this?

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 07/07/2016 17:17

Onions underneath, then ketchup, then sausage.

It's so much neater.

MiddleAgeMiddleEngland · 07/07/2016 17:19

That sounds quite mild compared to the scone wars we have. Jam first or cream first?????

I'm vegetarian, but quite like onions in a roll [misses the point]
