It's an important question. It has repercussions. Do you put mayonnaise on a hot dog? Because if you do you're a pervert.
That's right. A pervert. Don't say I never called you a pervert, because I just did. Not a sexual pervert, to be sure. No, you're a non-sexual pervert. Specifically: a culinary pervert.
The mayo dog perversion is not the only thing that will get you on the list. No, there's a whole host of things that if you do them, will make you a culinary pervert in my book, which is the only book that counts. Considering I invented the term, you bet my book is authoritative (anything less than 100 Google hits - phrase "in quotes"! equals = I invented it).

I'll probably go into a little more detail on that later. In the meantime, you know. Watch yourself.

Do you mean putting mayo on a hotdog + hotdog bun = hotdog or
does perhaps a waffle dog count too? Does a hotdog + pork and beans enter into the equation?
What about dijonaise?
How about desperate times when all you have is just the hotdog(sans bun) and a bottle of mayo?
Perverse as it may be to you, desperate times calls for desperate measures.
Yet.
As to the others, I was talking about a hot dog. I hope that clarifies.
Anyone who would drop a dollop of mayo in the ol' pork and beans would rise to the level of something well below a culinary pervert - culinary degenerate, at least.
Actually have seen someone plop a spoonful of the white stuff on some chili and a hotdog. Quite common around these parts.
Mayo, it's just not a condiment anymore.
The husband says it is a specialty in his native Germany, but with onions. And of course if you are from Holland mayo on the dog and fries is a must. So do we give the Europeans a pass on this one?
@Eva - thanks for backing me up there! Blasphemy eh? Perhaps I should have said "culinary heretic" instead!
@Alice - it sounds like you were the innocent victim of someone else's perversion. I never blame the victim, even if it was delicious. Interesting point you make about Europe. I was aware of les Belgiques et ses pommes frites mayonnaise, but hot dogs in Holland and Germany? A stunner!
I always thought of hot dogs as a uniquely, exotically American cuisine. I mean, sure, 'frankfurter' - but I was given to understand they don't do it up like we do.
