[ProfessorGAC]

48. Chicago Style

Mustard, onion, sport pepper, garlic dill spear, and tomato.
So, the only condiment is mustard

[debm55]

68. Wow. Thank you for sharing, ProfessorGAC. I never had one. I am surprised by what all is on it.

[ProfessorGAC]

70. About Sport Peppers

The big supplier in Chicago is Marconi.
This year, the crop was below average yield, and tariffs affected supply from some countries.
So, for about 3 months supermarkets couldn't get them.
The real reason is that the big hotdog joints in the Chicago market got first dibs, because those restaurants can't serve Chicago dogs without sport peppers.
So, those of us grilling dogs this summer were out of luck. I had to switch to jalapeños, but they're not the same.

[debm55]

72. That's a shame.Thank you , Thank you for the update. Professor GAC

[mike_c]

49. I'm with you...

[Dorothy V]

51. Brown mustard and chow chow.

[debm55]

56. Thank you, Dorothy V. for sharing with us. Question for you--what is chow chow?

[Dorothy V]

108. Chow Chow is a relish made of cabbage and often also green tomato. Comes in mild, medium and hot. Better than pickle

relish. If you can't find it in your local stores, it being Southern, you can buy it online. Do try it!

[debm55]

109. I will , Thank you very much for responding to my post.

[George McGovern]

52. Same as you debm55! And then again on a bratwurst. Where do you come up with

your ideas for subjects? Your postings always bring great reaction! Plus, you always reply to participants in your threads — That is important I think. Thank You!

[debm55]

57. Thank you very much , George McGovern. I taught school for 42 years--K-12. various subjects. I had three things that

do on DU
1. I never get involved in a conversation that two others are having with each other
2. If a person is kind enough to respond to my question. I should thank them.
3 A lot of questions just come out of this 71 year old brain from a life lived.

54. Mustard and onions, baby!

My mother liked mayonnaise and onions, which I consider to be a rather odd combination for a hot dog.

But then again, she liked to put onion and chive cream cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel.

To each his/her own.

[debm55]

80. HAHAHAHAHHAH. Thank you very much for sharing with us. MIButterfly. and enjoy.

[MIButterfly]

87. It wasn't until after she died, when I was telling someone

that she liked chive and onion cream cheese on a cinnamon raison bagel that I thought (and said out loud) "that doesn't even sound good." I guess hearing it out loud made me realize that for the first time!

[debm55]
