I will tell you, where we live is condiment country. Dogs, Sausages second.
If you ever get here before I get there, will take you on a whirlwind tour of what people want here.
Mustard Slaw(spicey hot), Grilled peppers and onions, Cole Slaw.
Mustard slaw dies out east of I-65 but here and to Memphis have to have Mustard slaw. Dogs, Sausage, BBQ condiment of the Gods. Never seen it till I moved here. It makes the sandwich.
TN Mustard is big also a whole grain mustard with horseradish.
Hot Chow Chow big also. Don't ask don't know why. Whole Hot peppers a no-no. Sliced Jalapinos a no-no also, in my area
Am experimenting with pickled cactus slices. They like.

Mustard slaw actually sounds pretty good, especially on a dog. Is it something you buy already made or do most people mix it up themselves so that in some places its a lot hotter than at others. 

On the hot dog show I first saw slaw dogs and that's how I have mine pretty often. A great combination. But coleslaw with good mustard and horseradish added to it, sounds like a step up as long as its not too crazy hot. I guess the hot dogs themselves should be pretty mild.

Most every place here has three slaws. Mustard Slaw, cole slaw and vinegar slaw, northern transplants.
Mustard Slaw is made up by each place, someplaces I like some places I don't.
Just used as a condiment.
Cole Slaw is for fish, on the side.
Have given my slaw away to a couple vendors and they ask for recipe. the longer it sits the better.
On a Pulled Pork Sandwich is what people use it for, but on a hot dog unreal. People ask before they order'Have slaw today'.

yeah pepper hash / pepper cabbage is definitely different than slaw, some places even have both and you can really tell the difference. its cut finer (sometimes in a food processor) and usually has a good amount of green pepper, sometimes sugar.. 

there's a lot of different recipes online but I think the real trick seems to be to soak it in a water / vinegar mixture for a while (almost like pickling) and then drain.

even though it's a pretty local/unique thing it's not strange at all (like Philly's fish cake combo) and i can imagine people anywhere wanting to eat it on hot dogs

anyhow glad you all are enjoying the posts!
