So I’m dressing my sandwich at the buffet line when I hear a loud “EEEWWW, YOU PUT MAYO ON YOUR HOT DOGS??” echo from behind. It’s Mike H. publicly mocking me as he spoons organic mustard onto his plate. Now I know how he stays so trim.

“It’s not a hotdog, it’s a sausage,” I snap back.

“Still it’s wrong, and I’m Polish,” Pawel chimes in.

“This is not a polish sausage; it’s chicken apple, so it’s OK,” I defend myself.

“Did you know the Polish were part of the California gold rush,?” Pawel thankfully changes the topic as Mike quizzically walks away.

Back at my desk I continued to ponder the mayo on hot dog quandary. Yes, I’ve been cited for weird condiment choices such as salt on oranges, soy sauce on mangoes, and sugar on spaghetti bolognese, BUT mayonnaise on hot dogs is totally acceptable. It’s delicious too, and is fast becoming a global culinary phenomenon. Check out my very international stack and expand your gastronomical horizons.

Convinced? Try ketchup on fried chicken. Yum!
