    Whole olives seems a bit much especially with that cheese dip, but a nice tapenade might be good on a hot dog if you used it like relish, maybe with some spicy English mustard…

      I’m not sure olives should ever be paired with any cheese except feta (or its derivatives). I’m also not sure they should be near any sausages that aren’t of Italian or other Mediterranean provenance either.

      Mustard also seems risky but might work with the right one.

      If you absolutely must try it, perhaps an Italian sausage, olive tapenade, and some bell peppers and onions could possibly work.

        Cheese and olives is a pretty classic combo? The acidity and brine helps cut through the fattyness of the cheese. You see it in all sorts of antipasto platters. Not sure about the hotdog though.

          I mean, pretty much everyone is guilty of those at one point or another, myself included.

          The way I see it, the whole point of this group is to joke about the silly mistakes of others in order to make ourselves feel better about our own.

          I don’t eat nachos all that often so it’s been a long time but I got a feeling you might be right.

          Green ones, though? Whole? IDK

      That’s a good idea. A salsa con queso dip can actually be good on a hot dog, but I don’t think olives would go with it. Maybe a one-or-the-other situation.

      This doesn’t seem that bad. At least they didn’t use the abominations that are black “olives”. Greek/kalamata has a better flavor but green aren’t bad.
